Perched on the
Deutsche Uhrenstrasse (German Clock Route),
Schonach is home to Clock Park Eble, which you can't fail to miss. Measuring four metres and weighing about six tons, this
gigantic clock with a working pendulum took five years to complete. The cuckoo inside is nearly five metres long and weighs a hefty 150kg - that's one big bird!
Inside, visitors can buy there own smaller version of the carved clock, or arrange to tour one of the nearby clock-making workshops to see the masters of the traditional craft at work.
