"Alm" is a pasture high up in the Alps. Cattle are taken to the "Alm" to graze there in summer. Usually you have a cabin for the herdsman, called "Almhütte". The herdsman often is a woman. In the village people's behavior was always observed by others, but on the "Alm" a young herdswoman might meet with, let's say, a gamekeeper unobserved. So the "Alm" is associated with stories of sexual freedom. "Auf der Alm, da gibt's ka Sünd'" means: "On the 'Alm' there is no sin".
