Off the Beaten Path: Traditional Cuckoo Clocks

A time honored Christmas gift has been handcrafted and ornate German or Bavarian Cuckoo Clocks. The Black Forest is the place to visit to see the craftsmen responsible for their creation.

Believe it or not, Germany is a country steeped in historic traditions with the German Tourist Board to German Tradition and discover just how many interesting and time-honored customs still take place in our modern day world.

Cuckoo clocks from the Black forest are world-renowned and coveted by many, from politicians to the rich and famous. A great place to learn about their history and making is through a tour of Rombach and Haas, maker of the Specialized Black Forest Clocks since 1894. Such a wonderful find off-the-beaten path.

Germany is full of beautiful cities, such as Berlin, with its cosmopolitan flair and bustling art scene; Leipzig with its architectural diversity and inspiring revolutionary spirit; and Frankfurt, otherwise known as Mainhattan, for its incredible museums and breathtaking parks.

The cuckoo clock has a long tradition in the Black forest and the Rombach and Haas clocks has a history going back to 1894. Handmade from beginning to end, and in their fourth generation of clock makers, the design of these timepieces range from antique to contemporary. Walk into the shop and meet the clockmakers to learn the history of these world-celebrated Black Forest Clocks.

A visit to Reinertonishof, a family-owned farm house built in 1616, is like a step back in time.


Enjoy a typical Black Forest meal at their restaurant, rides from ponies in the farm, and other outdoor activities like snowshoeing and skiing in the surrounding grounds. The farmer’s wife is usually the one to greet you, and though her English is limited, her smile is contagious and her welcome, warm.
