So having read some stories about this place on DU, and having had some spare time on our hands in Austria, we took the plunge:
Yes, that's the name of the town. No, they don't think it's funny.
However, most of what you see on the internet about their signage is generally from the front. As long as we were there, we also got a rare picture of Fucking from the rear:
We had a lovely time there, and I'll be happy to answer any of your Fucking questions.

My brother-in-law the accountant lives only 17 miles from Hell. Hmmm.

All right in the middle of Amish country.

Don't forget Jerkwater, though. Although it is a ghost town since the railroads electrified.

(62,444 posts)There is utterly nothing out there, but it is close to Salzburg, and a fantastic medieval border town called Burghausen, which has the longest castle in Europe. Also not far from Munich.

How was the Fucking water? I hear it is some of the cleanest in the world.
How was the Fucking food?
How was the Fucking weather?
Who was the Fucko they named the town after?
Did you get a chance to see all of Fucking, or did you only take in some of Upper or Lower Fucking?
What do you call someone from there... Fucks? Fuckers? Fuckingers? Fuckisian? Fuckingan? Fuckingillian? Republican?

(62,444 posts)There are no Fucking postcards or t-shirts. The Fuckinger who was selling them a while ago was persuaded by his Fucking neighbors to stop, because they don't like all the Fucking attention.
The food was great. There is only one Fucking place to eat, and it is at the guesthouse just down the Fucking road. There, they have a sense of humor about it. I had a stew of local Fucking mushrooms and really liked it. Upon arriving, I told the Fucking waitress, "We're here for the Fucking." Oddly, the manager makes his own erotic paintings and other art for sale, some of which is on display in the men's room.
We saw the whole Fucking town, and there are four sets of signs marking the Fucking borders, since it is at a crossroads. But, seriously, from the uphill side, a decent pitcher could throw a rock from one Fucking side of town to the other.

Thanks for the Fucking post.
That seems like great fun in Fucking! Glad to see something scratched off your bucket list. Mine has not had any ticks yet!
