Sometimes the smallest places turn out to be the biggest surprises. Triberg was definitely one of them. A 3 hour train ride from Stuttgart took us to this beautiful cosy town which hosts Germany's highest waterfall and also has the House of 1000 Cuckoo Clocks - something people all around the world are excited to buy :) It also falls under the Black Forest area making it even more scenic.
Though Triberg is so tiny, it is a very tourist friendly town with directions given everywhere, even in English. We were surrounded by prettiness right from the moment we got out of the train station and it did not just end there. A 1.5 km walk takes you to the City Centre which has a few restaurants, cafes and ofcourse the souvenir shops. We were quite hungry since we started early morning so we decided to have lunch first and then go see the waterfall. Diagonally opposite to the House of 1000 Clocks I noticed this pretty restaurant called "Landgasthof zur Lilie" which had an authentic and a rustic feel to it and it turned out to be a very good choice. We sat in the terrace soaking in the sun enjoying our crispy fish, fresh salad, chilled beer and tasty wine and ofcourse the popular Black Forest Cake!
After the sumptuous meal, we started our trail along the Waterfall. It was a fairly easy hike provided you are wearing good shoes. It was nice to see so many different types of people all enjoying their hike, clicking pictures, couples kissing and telling other couples to take their pictures. The cute dogs accompanying their owners made my day even more entertaining. The waterfall itself is absolutely beautiful with marvelous rainbows emerging from within the water. There are bridges built across the waterfall at regular distances which make it even more fun to stand and feel the little droplets of water fall on you like being in a nice shower. After the waterfall trail we walked down to a small pond and just sat there enjoying the view. Once that was done it was time for us to walk back to the train station with no baggage but lots of memories to carry along with us.
Triberg is perfect for a short one-day trip or a day's stay for the honeymooners ;). It is sooo damn pretty that it makes you forget what the real world looks like. But that's exactly why we need vacations, don't we?! The only regret I have was not carrying my camera along so the pictures taken are from my Nexus phone.
This one-day trip was something I definitely needed to get some peace and quiet and just spend some quality time. It helped me disconnect from a few things and connect with things which actually needed to be connected with. A trip to Triberg is definitely what should be on your to do list when in Germany. Especially for the couples. It will help you disconnect and connect at the same time! So as I say - Lift up your bums and go travel!
