    Well, I made a guess that it may be the Italian Alps ... there are some places in northern Italy that have a Germanic population. But that's a good call on your part, the company that owns the truck being from Austria.

    Here is some information on German / Austrian influences in one Italian province ...

    Here's information on that town in Austria you mentioned ...

    I'm going to post a video of me backing a triple articulating trailer through a s bend going over a blind hump all the while looking only forward.

    That is as soon as I find someone that can show me how to play the video backwards so it looks like I'm backing up.
