In Romanian it's „unde și-a înțărcat dracul copiii” which means "where the Devil weaned his children".

In Latin American Spanish we say "Donde el diablo perdió el poncho" that translates as "Where the devil lost his poncho" or "Donde cayó el avión" / "Where the plane crashed"

Portuguese "onde Judas perdeu as botas". where Judas lost his boots.

If you go there, pls bring the boots.
