Short and unexciting post: I left Hallstatt and made it to the Austrian city of Linz. (Pronounced Lints). It’s a nice city and didn’t get to do much yet, just a walked down the main street with a very quick visit to the cathedral and multiple churches.
Time again for another German city with a goofy name. But in honor of being in Austria, today will be an Austrian city with a goofy name, and that city name is Fucking. There is a very small village by the name of Fucking, on the Austrian-German border with around 104 residents. People from here are called Fuckingers, and it wasn’t until WW2 that they realized the outside of the city’s name until occupation of Allied troops who wanted images of the signs. A bit over a decade ago, all four of the town’s signs were stolen in 1 night, and since then the signs have been replaced with ones harder to steal.
