Reservation required
WHS where a reservation beforehand is needed to be able to enter. Name time-span (days, weeks, months, years) and link to the procedure if available online. It does not include sites where you can show up on the day and may expect to join a tour during the same day. Also, it is limited to where the reservation is needed to enter the WHS at all or to a major highlight without which a visit would not be meaningful.
