Triberg (pronounced Tree-berg) is a small town in Germany, not too far from the Swiss border.

Things to see around here:
- First world's largest cuckoo clock
- Must-see. Situated inside a small village called Schonach, this cuckoo clock was the first "large"-est one built ever (There have been many others built that are larger than this, but this one is a must see, reasons being:
- This is run by a family, which has numerous hand-made cuckoo clocks. The family is very kind, and and more than welcoming in explaining the workings of the clock, and the history behind how it was made.
- We walked back to Triberg from here - The views were amazing - the houses very beautiful, and architecturally very different.
- We missed the 5 o' clock cuckoo run, and the family was sweet enough to make the cuckoo come out more then once at 5:30. A special thanks to them for that! :-)

- It's an ok place to see, if you have time. Good place to collect souvenirs. We tasted good wines here :-) Bought some too ;)

- Going to Triberg, and missing Germany's highest fall?? - A big NO! The trek to the falls is beautiful. There are 3 trails - Cascade trail. that goes along the cascade, a Culture trail (That takes you through many culturally beautiful places of Triberg), and a Nature trail (that takes you from through the dark blackforest).
- We did the cascade trail, and part of the Nature trail (due to lack of time). I would recommend that you stay at Triberg for a night, and do all the treks on one day, and visit the cuckoo clocks and other interesting (The hotel you stay at will give you a detailed pamphlet with things to see around).
