We spent one day driving through the central part of the Black Forest.
One of the many lovely views from the so-called Schwarzwald Panoramastraße (Black Forest Panoramic Road).
Just outside the town of Triberg are Germany's highest waterfalls. There is a nice walk up, down, and around the falls that we took.
Another one of our stops along our drive through the central Black Forest was the Schwarzwälder Freilichtmuseum Vogtsbauernhof (Black Forest Open-Air Museum), which features farmhouses and other rural buldings (like the one above) from all parts of the Black Forest from several eras, which have all been moved here.
The town of Triberg in the central Black Forest is best known as the cuckoo clock capital of Germany. Here is one wall of the Haus der 1000 Uhren (House of 1000 Clocks), where we did buy a nice clock.
The Schwarzwälder Freilichtmuseum Vogtsbauernhof (Black Forest Open-Air Museum) is spread over a large expanse of land near the town of Gutach in the central Black Forest. The museum is great for kids because you can walk through all of the buildings, plus the museum features craftspeople creating such fun things as whistles that make cuckoo noises when you blow them.
