Just Enough Time to Chase Waterfalls


The Black Forest is full of wonders.  Today, we explored the clock museum.  Devoted entirely to keeping time, we spent some of ours seeing theirs.  From sun dials to Cuckoo clocks and those great Casio watches that no one admits to ever having owned, it was enough to keep the kids occupied for sixty-three and a half minutes.

Black Forest clock, painted with lead - many early German clockmakers didn't live long
Just up the road, on the breathtaking B500 Schwarzwaldhochstrasse, is Triberg and the highest waterfalls in Germany.  Even an epileptic monkey could take good pictures here.  It just doesn't get much better than this...


Are you kidding me?

Are you KIDDING me!?
After being pinched, it kept going - straight out of a fairy tale
Triberg is also a great place to get a slice of the infamous Black Forest Cherry Chocolate cake.  Add a Latte Macchiato and a patio with perfect weather, and it's a near-death experience.  I would have taken a picture, but it didn't last long enough.  Sorry.
