you can't tell your mum about this place
In a nutshell
Nuts, What else ??
lotharlerch Says: Everybody coming to Fùcking wants to document this with a couple of pics of the roadsigns. So did we. We thought that the Fúcking locals are used to that but suddenly an elderly guy stopped his car just aside of us while we took some of these pics and he asked us in an...
Travel from one funny named place to an other
lotharlerch Says: As you see from the travelogues we did a nice travel from Kissing near Augsburg passing places like Petting and Tittmoning to Fúcking! I can really recommend it. Please allow far more time for it than the 2 hours and 6 minutes which the interactive roadmap of Michelin is...
Schnaitl Bräu: Gasthaus run by a small regional brewery
lotharlerch Says: The restaurant is owned and run by one of the many small regional breweries in the Innviertel, a part of Upper Austria which was for some time under Bavarian rule. The nicest Bavarian legacy here are the numerous breweries which often brew a better beer than just over the...
Waldgasthaus Lindlbauer: Good local game specialities
lotharlerch Says: The restaurant is in a quiet and idyllic setting only 200 m from the last houses of Fúcking. The food is local with an emphasis of game dishes, the staff is friendly and the food is good. We had at our first visit for example a great game brawn with vinegar, herbs and the...
lotharlerch Says: There is no scheduled bus line going directly to Fúcking. But that does not mean that it is not possible to come to Fúcking in a bus. If you are for example living in Germany somewhere near Grevenbroich or Geilenkirchen and want to organize a trip to our next Fúcking...
Nice in car but allow enough time
lotharlerch Says: The car seems to be a fast and convenient way to come to Fúcking. Allow enough time and enjoy the nice and lonely roads. Even if the interactive Michelin roadmaps show you surprisingly short times to come to Fúcking from wherever in Upper Austria or Upper Bavaria you start....
Beer "Fùcking Hell" available now!
lotharlerch Says: The European Union trademarks authority has permitted a German firm to register the brand name "Fùcking Hell" for a new beer, much to the irritation of the Austrian village of Fùcking.In English, the term "Fùcking Hell" is just an expletive used to express irritation or...
Nearest shops for it are in Tarsdorf: Mozart Balls - What Else?
lotharlerch Says: Since there are no reports existing of the taste of the originals many producers in Salzburg and around claim to sell the authentic ones. See also globetrott's Salzburg page for it. Do NOT buy Mozart's Balls in souvenir shops or duty free areas in Austria's airports (when...
Where can I find Fücking in Austria?
budapest8 Says: Also, it might hold the record for the most stolen place name in the world, and of course a most popular object to take your photo with.What makes it even more interesting is, apparently there is *another* sign next to it, in Austrian/German language of course, which...
lotharlerch Says: There is a widespread version about the name of this place different from that coming from the founder of the village, the ancient Bavarian nobleman named Focko.After WW 2 the Austrian states of Salzburg and Upper Austria South of the Danube were occupied by the US Army for...
Helpfulness
As already mentioned these roadsigns were often stolen previously - probably in order to function as weird funny souvenirs. But the locals were not that amused, of course, because the replacement of such a roadsign is not cheap. So the signs were better and better secured and one would need today heavy tools and plenty of time to "get" such a roadsign. And besides that the locals have plenty of dogs knowing their duties very well. The dog at the picture approached me quite aggressively when I stopped my car at the roadsign in order to take a pic and became only more friendly when he noticed that I had no tools and kept away from the roadsign. But think what could happen if you would approach such a roadsign during the night to try to steal it. I am sure the dog(s) would treat you in a way that you never would come to Fùcking again...

Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: Tool box
Miscellaneous: A lamp, a set of screwdrivers and spanners (preferentially 17mm and 19mm) and a cordless angle grinder ;-) And if you are carrying these tools with you - dont come alone, one of you should always watch out for the dogs and people who might inhibit your activities..., (nobody comes alone to Fúcking, of course)

globetrott Says: Laufen is the village opposite of Oberndorf bei Salzburg, and besides a few lovely baroque buildings and 2 nice, medieval towngates it is mainly the old gothic church that would deserve a little tour by the tourists, beeing interested in old churches.First of all you will...
Burghausen - the longest castle in Germany
globetrott Says: Burghausen in Bavaria, about 15 km from Holzoester is another great day-excursion. High above the city of Burghausen there is the largest castle of Germany and you may spend hours there exploring different museums, great medival walls, lovely churches and many other great...
Tittmoning - where the pope spent his childhood
globetrott Says: Tittmoning is a small town in Bavaria, about 25 km from Holzoester and it is really worth seeing, not only for the fact that pope Benedikt XVI spent his childhood there, the village has also a great townsquare with many baroque houses, some parts of the medieval townwalls...
lotharlerch Says: Braunau is the district capital (Bezirkshauptstadt) of the district in which Fúcking is situated. And it is (in)famous for being the birthplace of Adolf Hitler. But that is already all what connects Hitler with Fúcking. It seems that Hitler never enjoyed it.Braunau is...
Small extremely warm lakes nearby
lotharlerch Says: If you feel the wish to do water sports under your time in Fúcking you find several tiny surprisingly warm lakes in a comfortable walking distance from Fúcking. We enjoyed the Holzoestersee but there are several others of similar size nearby.
lotharlerch Says: Since I am not golfing myself I have almost forgotten that once The Censor deleted my only one golf related tip - but maybe it was just because I placed it under "Warnings and Dangers" instead of "Sports". So I hope it will not be deleted this time.There are several...
lotharlerch Says: There are several small lakes close to Fúcking. They are among the warmest in Austria. The best known of them is the Holzöstersee lake, in walking distance from Fúcking and the Lindlbauer Gasthaus. These lakes are fine for beach activities but not large enough for some water...
An economic base to explore the surroundings
lotharlerch Says: If you are not into sophisticated and stressy nightlife (you are not - otherwise you would not have come to Fúcking) you can consider Fùcking as a base for nice daytrips into very interesting surroundings and come back at night to relax and enjoy Fùcking.The good and cheap...
