Attention Austrian experts

I have read about a small town in Austria that is called "f u c k_i_n_g and is pronounced "fooking." Anyway this little hamlet is named after the man who founded the village in the 6th century. His name? Focko.

Anyway, I have read that the town sign has been stolen seven times in the last few months. With signs costing several hundred dollars apiece, much of the tiny town’s budget is being spent replacing the signs, says Siegfried Hoeppel, the Mayor of Fucking. He went on to express his hope that further thefts will be avoided through the use of increased concrete and . . . bigger screws.

Does anyone know exactly where this town is?
Please provide directions using a bus or train from a major Austrian city.

P.S. I have a picture of the town sign to prove that this is not fake, but this website is not equipped for me to post it.

This town is especially busy during the spring months for honeymooners.You must use the Dicht train To Uterrus through the Fagina Tunnel near Salzburg.
Trains usually leave two or three times a week except in the winter when there is sometimes no service at all.
Service is very liumited for three or five days every month, you have to check the schedule.

Fucking is a hamlet in Upper Austria, somewhere between Braunau and Salzburg. Don't know about public transportation. Close by, in Bavaria, there is also a village called Petting.
