Instagram is enough these days to completely wreck any place suitable for pictures.

Here in Germany, the Königssee waterfall had to be completely closed for at least five years to give nature a chance to rebuild, after Instagram users caused enormous devastation [1] - trash, fires, noise scaring wildlife including some species of rare, protected birds, 3km worth of trails through the bushes, erosion caused by the trails... and it's by far not the only place.

Ya it is not "official" advertising I guess, but Instagram put the nail in the coffin for so many outdoor locations

One guy at the entrance collects phones and puts them in a locker. Fine for unofficial pics. Solved.
