This is Munchhausen, a town just across the border in what it now France. The name looked familiar so I looked it up. Apparently the real-life Baron Münchhausen fought in the Russo-Turkish war. Upon retiring in 1760, he became a minor celebrity within German aristocratic circles for telling outrageous tall tales based on his military career.
It seems worth a bit of embellishment to keep things interesting, as long as you do not mislead. So I am going to crank up the tales of this epic and heroic trek across the wilds of Europe.
