Geography

Achalm is a mountain in Reutlingen, Germany. On its top, the ruins of Achalm Castle can be found. The name might come from Graf Egino's last words. It is said he wanted to say "Ach Allmächtiger!" (German for "Oh allmighty God/Father!"), but was only able to say "Ach Allm...". Another theory about the name is that it comes from the Old German words Ache (stream) and Alm (hill pasture).
