Verboten!

verboten

For One Word Sunday: list.  And what a list it is!

It is forbidden in the forest to

  1. start or maintain an open fire – including a bbq fire
  2. smoke between 1 March and 31 October
  3. camp
  4. leave waste behind
  5. drive on forest tracks without a permit

Violations are a misdemeanour and carry a fine of up to 10,000 DM. Forestry office Bad Bergzabern.

From the fine it is clear that this is an old sign.  But boy, does it feed into prejudices about Germans. 😜

More lists or possibly listing photographs, have a look here.

 

Now try to pronounce it

I’ve just returned from an awesome long weekend with friends in the Black Forest.  I haven’t had time to sort any of the photos yet but I can give you this oddball find.  We were an international group with many native English speakers and we had a great laugh trying to find out how to pronounce topogganing.
