Poor Hallstatt just can't get a break.....

In addition to the hordes of tourists that arrive in Hallstatt on convoys of tour buses and by rail or car, the people of that small town now have to contend with legions of fans of the Frozen movies - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/17/world/europe/hallstatt-austria-frozen-tourists.html . It's somewhat incomprehensible that selfie-taking tourists wouldn't have enough common sense and respect to avoid barging into a funeral service or church service.

I found the story about Salzburg (linked in the NY Times article) pretty interesting, too... sounds like the city would like to minimize day trippers.
