"This is a photo of Hallstatt, a very pretty village in the Austrian Alps. It
is considered one of the most beautiful places in the world. When we lived in
Germany, my family often drove to Austria for holidays. We stayed with friends
in Steiermark and made day trips. We also stayed with friends in Innsbruck and
Vienna. Hallstatt was breath taking, but many mountain villages in Austria are.
I guess it’s the way the church steeple stands out close to the lake that makes
Hallstatt so spectacular. I, certainly, love the village and feel it has
something special.
My family travelled out from Germany a lot. We went to Luxembourg and
Liechtenstein, and north to the Baltic. We stayed in Bed and Breakfast homes
along with the host. Airbnb was not yet a thing. The homes we stayed in were
lived in all the year round.
Now the people of Hallstatt are demanding that fewer people arrive there in one
go. They feel overwhelmed by the tourists. They want some kind of rationing —
how that would work I have no idea. I relate to their sentiments."
