"It's beautiful, the bridge is of course covered in graffiti, but overall it's a nice place."

"A great spot for romantic strolls and photoshoots. The easiest way to get there is by foot, along the trails that lead down behind the Kurgan. It's best to wear sneakers—the descent and ascent are steep, and the road is washed out and gravel-covered in places. Bring your dress shoes in a bag."
