A small village in Romania has become a tourism hot spot thanks to a 'humping hill' which is said to help childless couples conceive.

Corneliu Olar, Mayor of the town called Horea, has even planted more bushes and trees on the hill to make sure lovemaking couples are not disturbed.

He said: "The hill is well known for its mystical powers in helping women to have children. You only need to look at our village to know it's true.

"Most of the people living in Horea were conceived by their parents on the hill, and now people come here from far and wide in the hope of fulfilling their wish to have children.

"It has been a tradition for more than three centuries. Romanian kings have come and gone, but the humping hill has always been there.

"Definately not a first date kind of place!" Wayne
