The day: After selfie trouble, closure of the nature pool is checked

Königsbachfall on Königssee near Berchtesgaden.

Of the Königsbachfall in Berchtesgaden National Park is a popular motif for selfies. Too popular because the rush harms nature. Now the district office is even considering one Entry banto get the problem under control. "The many photo hunters have since broken our vegetation, leaving their garbage in many places and flying their drones over protected areas. Some even light campfires or camp there," said Sepp Wurm, the social media manager at the Berchtesgadener Land tourist office "Augsburger Allgemeine". This is strictly forbidden in the national park. "In the past the pools could only be reached via a small path, today there are a lot of beaten tracks," said Wurm. "After there was so much trouble this summer, a ban on entering the area around the 'Natural Infinity Pool' has been issued for reasons of nature conservation law."
