The idyllic village of Hallstatt in Austria has become swamped with tourists, prompting local residents to take action.<\/p>\n

Famed for its resemblance to the kingdom of Arendelle from Disney’s “Frozen,” the village’s popularity has led to traffic chaos and frustration among its 700 inhabitants.<\/p>\n

In a bid to address the issue, a group called B\u00fcrgerliste Hallstatt organised a road blockade, with around one-sixth of the village’s residents participating.<\/p>\n

They claim that the huge number of tourists, which outnumbers the locals by 1,800 to one, has brought insults, illegal parking, and disruption to their quiet community.<\/p>\n

Mayor Alexander Scheutz acknowledged the problem, stating: \u201cNobody can handle the masses. Hallstatt is too small for the many people who come.”<\/p>\n

Possible solutions like limiting tour buses and enforcing a 5 pm curfew for visitors have been suggested.<\/p>\n

Nestled along the shores of Lake Hallstatt, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed village showcases 16th-century architecture, cozy lodges, and charming local establishments.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the mayor placed temporary fences to control viewpoints. Now, he’s considering a more permanent barrier to balance tourism with residents’ needs.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe only thing that would help is if the photo point is no longer a photo point.”<\/p>\n

In the past, Hallstatt had implemented restrictions on incoming vehicles; however, officials have reported that the daily limit of 450 cars and 54 buses is consistently exceeded.<\/p>\n
