We were right in the heart of the black forest.
It is absolutely beautiful!

It was in the year 1730,
that the clockmaker Franz Ketterer created the first one
in Schoenwald in the Black Forest.
He succeeded in imitating the natural cukcoo call.
Today this typical Black Forest cuckoo clock
ticks in almost every living-room
throughout the world and has brought fame to its home country.

BUT our canadian visitors had seen enough of it from back home!!
