We went to the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) area to the old town of Triberg. This is where the "kuckuck" cuckoo clock comes from and also one of the only areas i haven't been too. And they have big clocks to this is 10ks before Triberg.

We went on a toboggan spin down the mountain side this is on the way up.

and this is looking back down the valley and the forest all around. this is snow country, we were so lucky with the weather ,

Another big clock right in the main street of Triberg.

out of the bedroom window the brown brick building was built in 1655.

The Triberg waterfall, it is the second highest in Germany. and they charge you 3 eruo about $5 to look at it, there is not many free sites in Germany, but it was a very pretty walk for a hour around the park and it was with the hotel room price,

looking down to Triberg from the top of the waterfall.

inside the pilgrim church built early 1600s very lavish buy aussie standards and in a tiny town to,

flower boxes are very big business in this end of the country, houses, bridges just every where.

This is a typical black forest house design, we went to a museum of houses built in the 1600s and it take 400 trees to build one of the old houses, logging and plantation timers make up the black forest, we could not find natural forest.

The biggest Kuchuck clock in the world,

a much older black forest house, flower boxes.

it reminds me of Bright being in the mountains.

we bought a kuckuck from the wood carvers in Triberg, it is a tourist town 7 coaches pulled up as we were leaving the main street on sunday morning.
The Atuobarn is a strange place 40 mill cars in Germany. no speed limit in parts or 130, 120 but it take you longer to travel the same distance than in Aussie, in the 16 weeks ive seen 6 police cars on the Autobarns, most people ingorne the speed signs by 10-20ks, then they have traffic jams measured in ks, which will be the off ramps to another road. or road works, they are paid by the hour, no truck on sundays on any roads except food trucks,
