Alpine Vilage

There is no mistaking what craftwork happens here. The Uhrengeschäft or Cuckoo Clock Shop was designed with many of the features seen on a Bavarian Cuckoo Clock, the roman numerals, a dancing couple, and the Cuckoo bird peeking out of the upper window.

The Bavarian craftsman guiding his horse-drawn sled, is delivering some fine timbers to the clock shop. Good hard Bavarian wood will be used in the carving of pieces for the Cuckoo clocks still made in the traditional manner.

We salute the traditional Gluhwein, warm spiced mulled wine that is sold during the Christmas markets. These markets have been an important part of the holiday season for hundreds of years.
