Val di Funes, a picturesque valley in northern Italy's South Tyrol, is facing an influx of tourists drawn by its beauty and Instagram fame. Local authorities, frustrated by the overwhelming number of visitors and their impact on the community, have implemented restrictions on access to the Santa Maddalena church. Mayor Peter Pernthaler emphasized the need for order and the protection of local residents while still accommodating tourism. Measures include limiting vehicle access and increasing parking fees, with plans for a bus transfer service from nearby Chiusa. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
