Keep the mountains clean! Don't leave your waste!

Thanks Josef for this very nice picture! It was taken at Hohe Tauern (Austria) when walking to the OeAV Badener hut. I've seen these signs on other mountains in Austria as well, indeed at the Schneekuppe you have them all over the place. Anyhow, they seem quite historic. The way "Lasst" was spelled suggests that this sign was put up at latest in 1998 when the german orthography was reformed. By the way, I enjoyed titanic's comment on the discussion around the reform, when the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung refused to deploy it: http://www.titanic-magazin.de/fileadmin/wwwold/www/archiv/0904/images/cover0904.jpg What a waste of time. & What a connection back to the topic: This sign is the most obvious piece of evidence of how tourists are being disciplined through regulating their material basis and behaviour.
