mass tourism has on some of the most popular regions here in the alps. and as a good point the ramadan fucked up there are moments when you say ok this code i want to be in for this too much traffic it puts a strain on the pants it's really hard in the hiking trails up above the large crowds put a burden on the local population the communities and the infrastructure in the valley and the summer director of the streams of visitors and providing useful information is crucial so much that imbrie think what. the stampede of visitors to outdoor destinations has noticeably increased in these days of the coronavirus pandemic if visitor counts in the algo alps are anything to go by as long as people stick to the model trails and leave nature in peace no way on hina is fine with it repeat all like to be in that your surroundings like vatican is particularly popular. it's a delicate balancing act protecting nature while promoting crowds of people to have

some fun and the sun. these days the ranges only go out in paris communing with nature means different things to different people. as much as we have a good manager in the crowds is getting harder one of my colleagues said we are more like people minders than conservation officers. you hear it all so they threaten to call a lawyer with the threats. even when all you want to do was clarified i think this was also clear. protected plant species grow in the nature reserves and conservation areas around the lake for example the marsh. in restricted areas people often build fires which is not permitted all this with cigarette butts. the heart of the summer the

more people head into the water as many as a 1000 per day at the book than there go waterfalls in the article. often they get close to sensitive areas and show little consideration for the environment with its rare plant species. the more popular a spot like this becomes the greater the threat to its nature. plus one it's not true that's not what he says is this trend toward sharing individual experiences with a larger only lives on social media platforms like instagram it was inside a media instagram information about an incredible sunrise over the mountain that he needs to more people coming from these spots even in typically after time. this is . done fish started you know it's truly gives me cause for concern that they saw

that maybe one way to help is to avoid those popular spots altogether. we're getting close to the top. on the side of the trail stefan points out some yellow gentian to me it's a plant commonly found in the alps it thrives here at an altitude of some $800.00 metres. that's what that was worth it. not bad not at all. and there it is i can see my goal the king's house on shocks and the 1st of the better. tourism and climate change are said to be threatening the alpine flora and fauna is that

something you see yourself you spend a lot of time in the mountains and it was a feeling. in the case of tourism yes some people there are popular spots like the summit that are really overrun by masses of tourists but as you experienced yourself today we hardly saw anybody on our way up . there really quiet areas for instance in the call then the range over there. even in peak season and we're at the absolute peak of the season right now. be all on your own same const well then can you move on that's for climate change we haven't felt very much yet. maybe it's objective because you don't notice gradual changes as much as the woman and it's so. but we've always had a few tough winners and some very mild ones we've had dry winters and we've had lots of person potations we've had flooding and then we've had very dry years it's always changing but there are things i notice that for instance with the ozone to

become more sensitive but maybe that's a. in any case i do notice something that's true obviously. what i don't feel it's causing a great deal of change for us in. the one. last thing that's very different this year is the coronavirus a lot of people are spending their holidays closer to home how many germans are staying in germany what if you noticed here in the region. he. says it's been somewhat stressful for us because we can't make long term plans and have to react fast to the changes. but the guests are noticeably more relaxed than in recent years. relaxed in the sense that most readily accept it when you say that they can't do something or

other there's not so much i wanted and i want it now which has been something of a trend the past few years that can get really unpleasant we're not seeing any of that people seem happy with whatever's possible i hope it will stay that way for a while. a little paradise right outside your door thanks for showing it to me you're my pleasure. i can handle the last stretch on my own the king's house is now in plain sight of course king lute didn't walk up here himself he had servants to carry him in a litter box. this summer at the king's alpine hideout is closed in compliance with social distancing and hygiene guidelines but after the long hike we definitely want to see what it's like inside. compared to the seconds of other residences the king's house and shot him seems

almost modest it was built in 872 in the style of a swiss chalet. in spite of the beautiful swiss pine paneling the living quarters on the ground floor come across as relatively plain. seemingly out of character for the fairy tale king. of the upper story however fully reflects its creator here the 2nd had a sumptuous hall build an oriental style crammed full of gilded carving lit through stained glass windows and decorated with fine drugs magnificent chandelier is and peacock feathers. the turkish room with its fountain in the center provided a spectacular backdrop for the king's birthday celebrations.

isolated high in the bavarian alps he recreated the magical world of the arabian nights. while the king's house remains closed during the pandemic the former servants' quarters now a mountain in have reopened to the public. time this building served as a storehouse it's also where the king's meals were prepared for over 15 years now it's been run by the light and our family needed money not too many people come here to learn more about the life of king they would face or are most just hikers ready for a break he added. it's too bad the house is closed at the moment the hikers are usually keen to see the place. they know there's something special to

see in the upper floor so many want to go in. some days 250 or 300 people walk through the house. there are 2 guys from the lindo palace who give hourly tours for up to 30 people there you know. they tell visitors all about vick and his connection to this place . with him can you can pick his title. thank you that have been said what relevance does that all have for you. in this area there's really no other place comparable to it to the quantity of swiss pine is unique in that area for instance and the panorama is simply fantastic. there's nothing else like it. that's the beauty of it and i'm so glad no trains come up here. otherwise it would no longer be the way it is now.

and not only in the alps. this lookout find is where my journey and king loued may have the belvedere built not far from his house from here the view of the rhine valley is simply breathtaking. if you haven't got anybody to carry you up the mountain a hike like this is pretty intense but the journey is the destination right plus there is nothing like that feeling of satisfaction you get once you reach the top and you get this view so extremely exhausting but also extremely worth.
