Hmm... I have such good memories of my grandparents cukoo clock that I would like to get one for my own home. Does anyone know where I can find a nice quality cukoo clock in the Germany/Austria area? Is there a certain craftsman that builds better quality cukoo clocks? (How do I know if it is good quality?)
Thanks!

We saw lots of shops selling them in Rudesheim Germany. As a matter of fact I think you would be hardpressed NOT to see a cuckoo-clock shop anywhere in Austria or Germany!

If you do a search on cukoo clocks and go to the post "no cukoo clocks allowed", someone has given some very detailed info on what to look for when buying one.

Polite Suggestion: Try clock repair shops. They usually have one or two for sale. They will also probably be real antiques. Be sure you can export it.

Go to the source, the town of Triberg in the Black Forest. They have been making cuckoo clocks there for over 200 years, and you can find them in all sizes and prices, many of them hand-carved models. As well as its fame for clock-making, Triberg is a very pretty town in a very scenic part of Germany. The highest waterfall in Germany is nearby.

I saw cukoo clocks all over the place in Bavaria. I think it must be a rule in Rothenberg that every souvenir shop must sell them! Fussen also had several shops that sold them. As Tod mentioned, you shouldn't have a problem finding them in Germany, especially touristy towns.

Good luck!
