The Town of Fucking in Austria
tags:
Stumble ThisThis is almost too good to be true, but it actually is.
"In 2004, mainly due to the stolen signs, a vote was held on changing the village's name, but the residents voted against doing so. According to the town mayor, Siegfried Hauppl: "We had a vote last year on whether to rename the town, but decided to keep it as it is. After all, Fucking has existed for 800 years, probably when a Mr Fuck or the Fuck family moved into the area. The 'ing' was added as a word for settlement."" (wiki)

sorry, couldn't resist.
"hello, i'm the mayor of Fucking"
or "i'm the bishop at the church of Fucking"
Finally, a place to visit after Blue Ball, PA.
Which is right next to Intercourse, PA - what's up with those Amish?
Not big at all though, looks like fewer than 20 properties, mostly farms.
Notably though if you drive a ways east from Fucking you come to Tittmoning Germany. Someone should make driving directions using these cities
