Things to Do

The unexpected home of Germany's highest waterfall, Triberg

 CatherineReichardt Says:  Unlikely though it might seem, Germany's biggest waterfall is not somewhere in the Alps, but in the small Black Forest town of Triberg.Now obviously, there are many ways to determine 'biggest' when it comes to waterfalls, and these debates keep purists happily occupied in... 

Uhren-Park

Uhren-Park, Triberg

 mvtouring Says:  The largest kuck-kuck clock can be viewed here. It really was worth the visit, we were lucky and got there just before the bus load of other tourists arrived. It was amazing to see how it all works and fit together. Lovely clocks on sale here too

Discovering the back streets

Exploring

Bruno Roth

Germany’s Highest Waterfalls

Germany’s Highest Waterfalls, Triberg

 SurfaceTravel Says:  Germany’s highest waterfalls are worth visiting in Triberg. There is a small fee to enter the park. You can buy bags of peanuts to feed the squirrels.

Craft shops: You can't escape Triberg without one wood carving!, Triberg

 CatherineReichardt Says:  Given that Triberg is the Cuckoo Clock Capital of the World, it takes no great stretch of the imagination to realise that wood carving would be a local speciality. And whilst it's now big business, it would have had its roots in the long, cold, dark winter nights before TV,...
