azda Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 About an hour from me the World cup of skiing is taking place. The local newspaper printed a map of the local area. Take a look under the letter A, not sure if its a town place name or the name of a mountain, but by eck they do like their place names here Quote

Take a look under the letter A, not sure if its a town place name or the name of a mountain, but by eck they do like their place names hereIt's a village and a hill just off the main road 10 miles(ish) north of Austria through the Fernpass. Passed by it a year or so ago on my way back from Innsbruck. Quote

I just remembered the name of the village on a sign and it appealed to my warped or childish sense of humour not sure which. Clearly a popular name. Just googled this, and this for further entertainment. I don't understand why the Brits didn't take the cheaper option of visiting Uckinghall, south of Worcester. Quote

azda Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 You Went to Neuschwanstein Castle then Rob? Thats in Fussen and Part of it used in the making of chitty chitty bang bang ;-) Quote
Red Riley Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) You Went to Neuschwanstein Castle then Rob? Thats in Fussen and Part of it used in the making of chitty chitty bang bang ;-)I walked there last year from just south of Munich. Beautiful countryside and Fussen is a nice town.Incidentally, there is always that well known Lincolnshire town, Sc*nthorpe. Edited February 8, 2011 by Red Riley Quote
Rob Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 You Went to Neuschwanstein Castle then Rob? Thats in Fussen and Part of it used in the making of chitty chitty bang bang ;-)I haven't been to Neuschwanstein for nearly 25 years. I was doing a job at Innsbruck University in 2009 and drove back over the Fernpass, that's how I knew. Other times I've gone via Garmisch having seen the relations, but hadn't noted the name of the mountain as it doesn't have any large signs on top unlike the village. Quote
