Mount Ever Rest

High On A Hill Lives A (Very Relieved) Goatherd

Europe’s highest toilet has been built on the snow-capped peak of France's Mont Blanc. More than 30,000 visitors make their way to the peak each year and local mayor Jean-Marc Peillex said: "This move was much needed. Our beautiful mountain's white peak was full of yellow and brown spots in summer." The two toilets were flown up Mont Blanc to a height of 4260 metres. A helicopter will also be used to empty the toilets on a daily basis at, er, peak times for visitors.

FOOTNOTE: Mind your pees and queues.

Except in Australia, where it goes uphill! We rejoice in being different!
