Discover the Black Forest: the home of the cuckoo clock

Fir trees as far as the eye can see, farmhouses with huge roofs, lakes, springs and villages where clocks are still made: the Black Forest is much more than the birthplace of the cuckoo clock. It is a region like no other in south-west Germany, between the Rhine valley and the source of the Danube, best discovered on foot, through its valleys and traditions.

In this section, we take you to explore this land: its landscapes, trails, specialities, museums and curiosities, not forgetting the places where clockmaking still keeps the heart of the region beating.

An invitation to travel, to get to know the land where your cuckoo clock was born and perhaps, one day, to go and see it for yourself.
