About House of 1000 Clocks
The House of 1000 Clocks (Haus der 1000 Uhren) on Triberg's main street is one of two shops in the region claiming the title of world's largest cuckoo clock. The shop's wall-sized cuckoo clock fills an entire building facade, with the largest visible gear mechanism of any operating cuckoo clock. Free to view from the outside. Inside, the shop sells authentic Black Forest cuckoo clocks from multiple regional workshops across the full price range: souvenir-tier clocks EUR 80-250, mid-tier mechanical clocks EUR 300-800, craftsman-tier hand-carved clocks EUR 1,000-4,000. Shopping is transparently tourist-oriented but the clocks are genuine regional production and the shop will ship internationally. Visit is 15-30 minutes depending on browsing time. Demonstrations of the wall clock mechanism run on the hour. Hauptstrasse 79, 10-minute walk from the waterfall entrance.
