  Cuckoo clock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The basic cuckoo clock of today is the railway-house (Bahnhäusle) form, still with its rich ornamentation, and these are known under the name of "traditional".
The centre of production continues to be the Black Forest region of Germany, in the area of Triberg im Schwarzwald and Neustadt, where there are about a hundred firms making the whole clock or parts of it.
The cuckoo clock is often wrongly associated with Switzerland, as in the movie The Third Man.

 Myths and Misconceptions | World Waterfall Database: World's Tallest Waterfalls
The Triberg Waterfalls are commonly called the tallest waterfall in Germany.
With a total vertical drop of 496 feet, the falls stand over 1000 feet shorter than the true tallest waterfall in Germany, the Rothbachfall.
The Triberg Waterfalls are much more well known, and are much easier to access, so it is understandable where the erroneous information came from, but it is naïve to assume that a waterfall under 500 feet tall is the tallest in a country with mountains such as the Alps.
