The Clockmaker

small group · half-day including travel · exclusively through us · on request

The cuckoo clock may be the most copied object in the Black Forest, yet almost nobody has seen how an authentic one is made. In the clockmaker’s workshop, you can put that right, gear by gear.

You do more than watch. Under his careful eye, you try your own hand at the craft and discover why the cuckoo calls twice, and what two small bellows have to do with it.

What you held in your hands that afternoon leaves with you: a piece of the Black Forest that did not come from a souvenir shelf.

In a small group, exclusively through us; workshop visits like this cannot be booked elsewhere. The workshop is an hour’s drive away, and we are happy to arrange the journey.
