First you will see in the year 1897–1900 built Satakunnansilta that crosses Tammerkoski from the north side of Hämeensilta. It is used by both vehicle traffic and pedestrians.
Patosilta is a dam of power station. It was introduced for pedestrians and cyclists in 2000. People have attached hundreds of love locks to the bridge railings, which also appears on the video.
