We took a day trip with the Jurasek family to the Central Black Forest to the charming (but touristy) city of Triberg. Triberg is wedged between three mountains where it gets it's name. "Berg" means mountain in German.
According to the guide books, Triberg is the "undisputed capital of cuckoo-clock country".
Triberg isn't only famous for cuckoos, but Germany's tallest waterfalls. They fall 163 meters in seven cascades.
The city also has generated energy from the waterfalls since 1884.
