I met a chatter whose name is Ulrich in my favourite chat channel. She was very sweet and charming girl. I spoke with her for fifteen minutes. I was stunned when she told me that she lived in small village called Fucking.For a sudden, I thought that she was joking with me. She was serious and insisted on living there. I opened my Google Earth map and searched for Fucking. She was right.There has been a village called Fucking for more than 1400 years.

Fucking: A small village in Austria

Fucking is a small village in Upper Austria. The exact location is 33 kilometers north of Salzburg and near German border. It is in the municipality of Tarsdorf.

It takes it's name from a traveller whose name is Focko. As far as I know, Focko is the name of a man who travelled this village in the 6th century. Fucking means “the place of Focko's people”.

The most surprising thing in Fucking is the traffic signs at the entrance and exit of the village. Most of the people seeing this sign stop there and take the photo of it. However, this sign has been stolen many times.

Fucking is rich in oxygen and fresh air since it is situated in the forest region. Due to it's natural beauty, it is one of the beautiful picnic areas of Tarsdorf. Even though it is a very small village and it's population is only 93, it is one of the well-known villages in Austria as a natural result of media interest.

Would you like to go Fucking and be one of the Fuckers? So, this is your guide.

Tourists are creating many problems for this village - they keep stealing the traffic signs.For such a tiny village, the expenditure on replacing the signs makes up a large portion of their budget.

In 2004, because of the problem of the stolen signs and embarrassment over the name, a vote was held to change the village's name, but most of the residents voted against this. Instead, the mayor has now decided to combat the problem in another way - by securing the signs in concrete.

The picture shows another sign in this village with a hilarious double meaning. "Bitte - nicht so schnell" is German for "Please - not so fast". Its intention is to remind drivers to slow down for the children's safety, but in this case, it has another unintended meaning.
