Triberg im Schwarzwald

Triberg is a climatic health resort and town nestled in the Black Forest, surrounded by dense woodland and characterized by traditional architecture. The settlement serves as a base for exploring natural attractions and regional craftsmanship.

The town emerged in the 18th century as craftsmen established workshops producing mechanical clocks, establishing a reputation that would define the place. This manufacturing tradition became central to its identity and development.

The town's identity is rooted in clock-making craftsmanship passed down through generations, visible in small workshops and galleries throughout the center. This heritage shapes how locals and visitors alike understand the place's character today.

The area offers marked hiking trails suitable for different fitness levels, with maps available from the tourist information office. Wear appropriate footwear and bring rain protection, as forest areas in this region tend to be damp.

A massive cuckoo clock with a four-meter mechanical bird stands at the town center, emerging twice hourly in a show that surprises many visitors. This oversized timepiece merges local craftsmanship with popular appeal in an unexpected way.
