Black Forest

Before going to Trier, when we left Freiburg we drove north through the Black Forest,



stopping at the German Clock Museum in Furtwangen. For a small museum, it is packed full of exhibits and has a well done English translation of the explanations.

These are just a few of the beautiful clocks on exhibit.







This clock stands at least 5 feet tall and is intricately carved.









One of the most interesting exhibits were assorted calliopes that museum staff play at specific times throughout the day.
