Searching for bikeable offensive town names in Europe like "Fucking"
Last summer I did a bicycle tour from Fucking
in Germany to Petting
in Austria. (I know most people normally do it the other way round)
On the way you can take a lot of funny pictures.
The white sign below is German and the English translation of the text is: Please - not so fast.
Are there other towns in Europe with English names that have a rude name, so that I can do more tours like that. By rude names I'm referring to names that are obscene, disrespectful or names that are violating a taboo. Ideally, the villages should be close to each other so that I can do a bike tour.
I tried to search more of these towns in Google maps by just trying out random offensive words. Obviously this is not a very good choice and I couldn't find any other village. What could I do instead? Where can I find resources that will help me to find bikeable offensive towns in Europe?
