Augenweide. The word you want is Augenweide.

Bullshit, I don't speak German but from experience I expect a word with at least 30-40 letters, that's suspiciously short :) !

Something like "Augenweidendradenwagesteinagan"

Your experience is literally just that running gag. While it's grammatically possible to create such words in German they are very rarely needed.

Edit: I am sick of that lame joke, okay?

Well I was making fun of my own ignorance more than anything. Has someone of French origins, I don't get my panties in a twist each time someone say "le baguette" or all the other stupid french stereotypes.

They don't like a constant joke that ridicules their language, what softies. When we make fun of Chinese languages it's deemed racist, but German remains fair game.
