Trip to the town of 'Fucking' in Austria
A great way to pass a snowy winters day
There is another town near Zugspitze called Wank.
If you live there, you are a real Wanker!
(sorry, couldn't resist)

I'm always up for Fucking. Perhaps after a trip to Salzburg.
Well I hard about Fucking a few years ago, and still haven't made it. You need a car to get there and it probably a 2.5 hour drive.
I agree it should be snowy.

Dunno if Fucking in the snow is such a good idea though...
If this driving school moved it would be a wheeze!!

Fucking (the first vowel is pronounced similar to the "oo" in the word "look"; is a small settlement (population c. 150) in the Innviertel region of southwestern Upper Austria, located at 48°04' N, 12°51' E, bordering Bavaria. It is near the city of Salzburg. The village is known to have existed as "Fucking" since at least 1070 and is named after a man from the 6th century called Focko.
The town's name, spelled identically to the gerund form of the English profanity "fuck," is often found amusing by Anglophones.
The settlement's only significant feature is a traffic sign with its name on it at which English-speaking tourists invariably stop to have their photograph taken. The sign is the most often stolen street sign in Austria. A considerable portion of Fucking's budget is spent on replacing the stolen signs.
In 2004, the residents voted on changing the name (owing to the stolen signs and embarrassment over the name), but decided against doing so.

As for the merged thread on names, see Dr Harry Beaver in Northern Virginia and yes, you guess it, he is an ObGyn.
I am really up for Fucking, not too keen on going solo, need to find someone else to come...

I'm up for fucking... but where and who?
After Fucking (Austria) for a day we'll be sure to reach Climax (Michigan) but if you Needmore (Texas) then a good Toad Suck (Arkansas) and a French Lick (Indiana) is sure to Knockemstiff (Ohio) and then we will be back to Intercourse (Pennsylvania) and you can say Holy Moses (Colorado) Blow Me Down (Newfoundland) not another Dildo (Newfoundland) and shout Why (Arizona) I think I need another Hot Coffee (Missouri) and what the Hell (Michigan) is a Ninety-Six (South Carolina).
Keydeck, Oh you of little faith.
Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Fucking...

Well, seeing as if you are in the area of Fucking, Austria, there are a host of other villages in the area to visit. Bum and Rottenegg are within cycling distance. There are half a dozen more, but I forgot the names.
To get to Fucking you can take DB, and it's only about 2.5 hrs away
Take the RB from Ostbahnhof towards Mühldorf(Oberbay) via Markt Schwaben.
Change at Mühldorf(Oberbay) to the RB towards Burghausen(Oberbay) From
Berghausen you can take a Taxi/Bus/Walk/Bike the 15km to (Tarsdorf-Fucking)..
Would be a nice bike ride or hiking day.. But you'll prob. get 20 people to sign-up
then cancel 2 days before like most other TT Trips...
