The shoemakers bridge is not very interesting. Besides some shoes, hanging on a wire, over the entrance, there is nothing to mark it as a shoemaker's bridge. As it is over the canal, you'll walk next to it, as you walk along the canal. What Is interesting, is the icecream stand about 30 meters down the canal. Besides the tastey... More

According to history, shoemakers were located around this bridge and tried to sell their products. The bridge was originally meant to have a roof, thus the pillars build on both sides, but it was never materialised. Quite interesting

The bridge itself isn't really anything special, but the dozens of shoes strung up along the entrance to the road at the end is quirky and cool. The whole riverside area is generally very nice.

A bridge on Ljubljanica river, bridging the gap on the flowing river, connecting two sides of this wonderful town. The name is augmented by a cable line with hanging shoes, and is really a nice sight to see and take a few pics.

I visited this place on a sunny spring day and it was beautiful. Street musicians playing and singing by the side on this bridge, young people gathered around, laughing, nice shops with handmade stuff if you head down the river bank.. it's just really nice.

It has been a place for young. There was a good shoe maker where I ordered my shoes. But it was 40 years ago. Now you can see many old shoes and sneakers hanging between two buildings. Nice place to have a walk.

You will know you're on the bridge when you see the shoes hanging up. But that's about all there is to it.
