The Heart of the Black Forest Triberg, Triberg, Germany
At the heart of land renowned for exquisite hand carved cuckoo clocks, Black Forest Cherry Cake and the mysterious setting of many a Grimm Brother鈥檚 fairy tales lies the town of聽Triberg. Located in the Kinzig and Gutach Valleys, the surrounding landscape is some of the most quintessential of the region as roads wind hither and tither through thick forests and rolling hills. It鈥檚 here that you鈥檒l find Germany鈥檚 highest waterfall and two of the world鈥檚 largest cuckoo clocks.
When the temperature drops and most of the tourists avoid visiting in the winter, the Black Forest changes into a winter wonderland. Fluffy white snow covers the rolling hills and the pine forest, castles and lakes. There is no question in my mind as to why so many of the聽Grimm Brothers鈥� fairy tales take place here, for example聽Little Red Riding Hood,聽Hansel & Gretel,聽Rapunzel聽and聽Sleeping Beauty.

The region earned its name from the alpine trees which lock out the light, giving the area a mysterious feeling. Today, hefty half-timbered farmhouses scatter the hillsides and the region is predominately known for its beautiful woodwork which entertained the farmers during the long winters. By the end of the 17th century, woodworkers began producing clocks made entirely out of wood, therefore, making clocks more affordable.
