The world's largest cuckoo clock in Triberg/Black Forest

Cuckoo clocks have been a tradition in the Black Forest for hundreds of years. Among other things, the world's largest cuckoo clock strikes there.

Triberg – Cuckoo clocks have been a top export from the Black Forest for 300 years. In the municipality of Triberg (Schwarzwald-Baar district), the tradition of clockmaking has been upheld since its inception.

Since 1994, the world's largest cuckoo clock has been chiming in the Eble Clock Park, located directly on the B33 at the northern edge of Triberg. The souvenir shop is a magnet for tourists from all over the world to stock up on Black Forest souvenirs.

Small consolation for the Schonach clock, which has been pushed down to second place: It can continue to advertise with the “world’s largest cuckoo clock”
