Because it's so beautiful, a small town in Switzerland forbids tourists to take pictures

How do you record the amazing trips you make in life? Almost certainly everyone will say that they take pictures of places and landscapes, as visual information is very effective in reviving memories. However, anyone visiting Bergün / Bravuogn in Switzerland is prohibited from capturing landscape photos!

That's right: as of May 30, a law came into force prohibiting tourists from registering the place. Anyone caught disrespecting this will have to pay a fine of € 5, the equivalent of $ 18. The alleged reason for this sanction is the fact that the town is very beautiful. Thus, those who see the photos there get jealous or depressed, as they will not be able to visit.

Beauty of Bergün / Bravuogn would be making people depressed because they couldn't visit her

“Bergün is beautiful! We don't want to make people outside the community unhappy to have seen social media photos of our picturesque landscapes, so we cordially invite everyone to visit Bergün and meet her in person, ”said Mayor Peter Nicolay.

The city is really very small and has just over 500 inhabitants. The new law, however, should not effectively prevent tourists from photographing the place. On the contrary, many people have speculated that this was a marketing ploy precisely to attract new visitors. It will be? I want to go there! Is that you?

"Our city is so beautiful that it is impossible to take a picture that does not look beautiful, " explains Mayor Peter Nicolay
