About Triberg

Triberg lies in the Black Forest, where the Triberger Wasserfälle tumble through a wooded gorge in steps just outside town. Cuckoo clocks are the local obsession, with workshops, a clock museum and a giant clock beside the road. Freiburg, Lake Titisee and Villingen are within an hour's drive, and Black Forest cake fills the cafés. May to October suits walking and full waterfalls, December brings snow, and spring and autumn are quiet.
