No flies on you, Mr. Cooper -- that's it. Name of Denmark's highest hill -- in the country's European-mainland part. (Believe it or not, highest point of the Netherlands is nearly twice as high -- in the Maastricht "panhandle" bit.)
Over to you.

No it's not Pantyffynnon (ffynnon is Welsh for hose).Pantyffynnon?? -- is y ffynn maybe Welsh for "the wine", which is "on" (..."the house", understood)?

Don't learn your vocabulary from me. I don't speak Welsh, I just make things up.
