@saj traveling salesperson problem but it's all Rickenbach
Show threadZatty Nov 23, 2022

@saj you never leave Rickenbach!
Show threadHumphrey DuncombeNov 23, 2022
@saj I know thank “bach” means “stream, little river”, but what about “ricken”? Is “Rickenbach” a play of words?
Show threadjadeNov 23, 2022
@panapp
no, a Rick is just an old swiss word for a geographical feature (a narrow, elongated trough alongside a mountain slope, from what i've gathered) which incidentally is a common place to find creeks. the word has since fallen out of use from what i know. these are all settlements named "Rickenbach" though! there are numerous streams called that in different places nearby too
Show threadHumphrey DuncombeNov 23, 2022
@saj So it is something like “Rivercreek”! I see, thank you for the info, I’d like to do this nice tour someday.
Show threadSamuelJul 7, 2023
@saj @panapp I thought the name comes from "Ricke", the female deer. Your explanation makes more sense.

@saj Are you Holmes, or Moriarty? LOL

@saj Rickenbach bei Olten liegt da fast auf dem Weg. Fehlt aber als Bezeichnung.
Show threadjadeNov 23, 2022
@Znuk hab ich tatsächlich vergessen, dachte glaubich dass es schon drin war weil rickenbach BL so nahe dran ist. then again, es hätte sowieso nicht mehr reingepasst, weil ich hiermit eh schon die maximalen 10 stops für die routenberechnung voll hatte

@saj I'm imagining the Animaniacs country song but with Rickenbarks

@saj Rickenbach (Hotzenwald) is the climax.
Show threadRiedlerNov 23, 2022

@saj I found a few more

had to split it into two routes because google maps limits it to 10 stops per trip.

@Riedler yes, there are actually more
however, these are mostly creeks and i limited myself to only settlements called Rickenbach, as there would be wayyy too many of the former

as proof of that, here's me crossing a Rickenbach that was so far unmentioned by either of us, in the train I'm sitting in right now

Show threaddivVerentNov 23, 2022
@saj Rickenbach is, of course, named after Rick Astley.
