The author expresses dissatisfaction with Triberg in the Black Forest, noting it felt overly commercialized and less authentic compared to other areas. Although the natural scenery was stunning, the town's appeal diminished due to overpriced goods and admission fees for its waterfalls. Similarly, Hallstatt in Austria, famous for its picturesque views, suffers from heavy tourist crowds that detract from the experience. The author sought refuge from crowds by taking a boat ride on the lake, ultimately feeling a preference for quieter fairy-tale towns nearby.
We wouldn't bother going back to Triberg in the Black Forest.
Many visitors flock there for its famous waterfalls and cuckoo clocks, but it felt too much like a tourist trap to us.
Hallstatt has become a major tourist destination in Austria ever since influencers began posting iconic photos of the town.
To escape the shoulder-to-shoulder crowds, my husband and I rented a motorized boat and got a view of Hallstatt from the lake.
