		It seems 7/11 of the components in the Linz hotspot (https://www.worldheritagesite.org/connection/Linz+Hotspot) fall into another hotspot and are closer to other hotspot centres and should be removed from the linz hotspot Graz: Also in vienna hotspot closer to vienna Prehistoric Pile Dwellings: In 8 other hotspots with better, closer serial components (I understand if you want this to remain) Primeval Beach Forest: In 12 other Hotspots with better, closer serial components (I understand if you want this to remain) Schöbrunn: In vienna hotspot, literally in vienna Vienna: Literally the centre of the Vienna hotspot Semmering Railway: Also in vienna hotspot, closer to Vienna Wachau: Also in Vienna Hotspot, in between the two cities

		The other 4 components can be added to other hotspots or left alone (if left alone beech forest, wachau and pile dwellings can join) Salzburg: 2h30m from Vienna by train Hallstatt: about 4 hours with transfer in Attnang-Puchheim from Vienna Holasovice + Cesky Krumlov: Can probably be added into a new prague hotspot

		nfmungard: TaiTT: I'm not sure if the southern levant (Eilat) Hotspot should exist as it literally states that St. Catherines area is no longer possible due to security reasons, along with that 3/4 require a major border crossing and are not possible by public transport Yep. Borders are an issue with hotspots. See my comments re Suceava. Unless it's a green border, sites across real borders shouldnt be grouped into a hotspot. And public transport across hard borders tends to be limited. Re Eilat: In peaceful times, I can see organized day trips having fast border transit. Peaseful no more. Although I can understand the general point of easiness of border crossings, this really is a more common one than you'd think. Many Israelis visit the Sinai. There are numerous day trips on offer from Eilat, also when I researched a trip for April 2020. I will remove the comment of 2016, which isn't accurate anymore.

		TaiTT: should be removed from the linz hotspot done, also added a text that links Linz hotspot to the Vienna hotspot

		TaiTT: Is Wadi Rum also doable? It is only 80km, so yeah.

		I think we may have a new WHS hotspot in Rio de Janeiro: Rio de Janeiro: Cultural landscape that includes Corcovado (with Christ the Redeemer), Sugar Loaf, and Copacabana beach Valongo Wharf: Downtown at Jornal do Comércio Square Sítio Roberto Burle Marx: Residence and gardens on outskirts of Rio, accessible via subway and public bus (~2-2.5 hours each way) Paraty and Ilha Grande: Ilha Grande is accessible from Rio via bus and ferry several times a day (~3 hours, 50 minutes each way) For the last one, Rome2Rio has transport information.
