Triberg of Bavaria

This is it folks - The town that markets the black forest for your tourism pleasures.
as you travel in you can't help but notice that 9/10 shops sell Cuckoo clocks. A couple even advertise that they stock 1000 clocks or more!













Here's a shot of onc wall of the little noisy buggers.

There was only one last thing to do - gorge ourselves on Black Forest cake. So we hopped to the nearest backerei (bakery) and there it was shining in a cabinet. Obviously they get a lot of people like us ordering the delicacy as when I did place the order, the lady opened a drawer below the cake filled with hundreds of chilled pieces ready on plates.

This sounds a bit NZ - but in the way out there is apparently the worlds largest cuckoo clock on display (like the corrugated sheep in Taihape etc..) - with the pouring rain we missed it, instead finding the worlds largest TOILET... Something you may need after the worlds largest slice of black forest cake ;)
