And I loved your introduction - Haha! Did you know that there's a place in the Rauris area, very well known among crystal hunters, as many outstanding mineral findings have been made there, named "Scheissgraben"? Now I wonder how we would translate that for our american friends! ;-))))))))))
Viele herzliche Grüsse,

There is another nice location below Walliser Weißhorn, called Arigscheiß. I had much fun with that name, too. The hut keeper of Weißhornhütte had no problem using it :-).
Very lovely are the names Kotzen, Mantschen, Mantschenhalsl, for some minor peaks in the Karwendel area.
The tale is that there was much more of that in former times and the geographic explorers in those times altered the most "indecent" names.
Thanks for your comment, Michael
