Video: Take A Tour Of Fucking, Austria Without Boarding A Plane!

Fucking, Austria (pronounced ‘Fooking’) is a small community located 21 miles north of Salzburg, Austria.

Fucking, Population 104 (2019),  was founded in the 6th century AD by a Bavarian rich noblemen name ‘Focko’.  ‘Foko’s’ name stuck over the next 1500 years with its citizens being referred to with the Germanic suffix ‘ing’.  Around 1530, the citizens of ‘Fucking’ decided that would be the town’s name on a go-forward basis.

The best news, It’s impossible to get lost every road is named after the town as is the entire county surrounding this quaint medieval town.

Effectively, you take the same Fucking road into Fucking County to get to the Fucking town square.

PS. The Town sign has been stolen so much, they had to engineer and invent a left proof sign that cost close to 300k.

People apparently keep porking in front of it too.  Mostly British tourists.

Source: But although tourists were no longer able to steal the Fucking road signs quite so easily, the town had to go one step further and install CCTV cameras in the vicinity of each one – in an attempt to deter summertime tourists from filming themselves fucking in front of the Fucking signs. Oh my.
