I know the use of который in forming a relative clause (along with its declensions depending on its grammatical role in the relative clause), but how would you deal with saying things like:

The lane, at the end of which is a park, runs next to the river.
The summer, during which we went to Moscow, ended too soon.
They sell newspapers at the kiosk close to where we parked the car.

I've searched through all my textbooks, but all most they get to is "The person with whom he is speaking to is a famous scientist." i.e. using ", с которым ...,".

Thanks in advance :-)

What if there were specific people selling the newspapers? Couldn't you leave the "они" in the sentence in that case?

Например:
-Где Иван и Сергей продают газеты?
-Они продают газеты в киоске, который недалеко от того места, где мы оставили машину.

In that case, of course, one needs to use a personal construction with они.
