Wonderful image of three friends/family members, who have hiked together to the Triberger Wasserfall near the village of Triberg. Triberg is a village in the very depths of the Black Forest in Germany. It is where the cuckoo clock was invented, and up until recently, most of its economy depended on watchmaking, as well as a very healthy tourist trade up until 2001, when following 9/11, American tourism dropped dramatically, and the village population decreased from 8000 to 5000. Fantastic woodcarving of the sort one expects to find in the black forest is still done there, but apparently the cost of such work is quite high (of course this is to be expected, given cost of living in this day and age, and the time required to produce truly fine, hand-crafted items). We can only imagine how charming a place it must have been back in the time these three ladies were visiting here.
A really lovely time machine of an RPPC, in very nice condition.
