About Breisach
This port is the gateway to Germany’s famous Black Forest region. Tours visit a cuckoo clock workshop where passengers learn how local farmers started the tradition of carving simple wooden clocks during wintertime over 300 years ago.
A craftsman demonstrates how the cuckoo sound is created by miniature bellows.
Afterwards there’s the opportunity to sample delicious local food and drink including Black Forest gateau, ham and cherry brandy before the scenic drive back to the ship.
