Where is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogoch - What seems to be 58 randomly mixed letters is actually a city in Wales. Euromaxx Reporter Hendrik Welling visits the city with the longest name in Europe.
And he finds out that this Welsh letter salad actually has a meaning: "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" translates from Welsh to English as "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool of St. Tysilio of the red cave."
Even though more than half of the people in Wales can speak and understand Welsh, it's a tongue twister that only a few of its roughly 3,000 inhabitants can easily pronounce, let alone write down. To this day, the city and its name remain a tourist magnet.
