History

From Lavrushinsky Lane, a footbridge leads towards Bolotnaya Square. It crosses the Vodootvodny Canal to the island between the canal and the Moskva River. Couples bring padlocks on their walks and fasten them to a metal tree. This crossing has become a fixture on Moscow wedding itineraries.
