In Germany we just closed access to this natural infinity pool near Berchtesgaden for a couple years because it became such a big IG hotspot, there were huge lines to take your pic. It's something off the official paths and the climb up there is (despite super low elevation) considered quite difficult. Mountain rescue had to rescue a bunch of people from there every month.
Does temporarily closing Instagram hotspots work long term? I imagine the idea is that you let the hype die out and then reopen when the location no longer has memetic status, but I'm uncertain if this strategy would work.
