- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Seated in Amish Country ("Little Switzerland") - A restaurant named Alpine Alpa was built near Winesburg, Ohio by Hans and Alice Grossniklaus in 1935. He was a Swiss Cheesemaker. They decided to add attractions to their restaurant to increase the draw of local tourism. In 1972 they decided to have a cuckoo clock constructed.. Measuring 23 feet, 6 inches tall, 24 feet wide and 13 feet, 6 inches deep it's been called the World's Largest Cuckoo Clock and is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records.
In August of 2007 the non-functioning clock was moved from the hill behind the restaurant to a new ground level location. It was also given a makeover courtesy of Hampton Hotels Save A Landmark Program. In 2009 it was auctioned off. Mark Coblentz of Walnut Creek Cheese notoriety. Coblentz purchased the clock in hopes to keep the clock in the area. Sugarcreek businessman Lavon Daugherty approached Coblentz with the idea of moving the cuckoo to Sugarcreek as an icon of the local Swiss culture.
I am from Hong Kong, I remember when I made my first visit in US, I stopped by Sugarcreek and saw this big cuckoo clock on the way to the inn. It is awesome!!
I hope you gave some dirty westerners a good hard lesson in bui gee.
I used to live in Wooster, I remember going to see that clock every summer.
10p 😂 se 😧

This is the best thing Ohio has
This is by far the best cuckoo I have ever seen! I would love to live there just to hear this every hour!
Dakotadarkwolf actually every half hour. Just paid a visit there today. Said on a small sign.
@@Saya_613 even better! I have several in my collection that go off every half hour as well. As far as this small sign. I don't see it. Not that it matters! One two three four chimes!? It's still a neat clock! I mean does it really matter in the end how many chimes or "cuckoo" it does? Oh well, not to me. Just enjoying the video and amazing clock!
This is by far the best cukoo I have ever seen! l would love to live there just to hear this every hour!
Thank's for giving me a new travel destination idea for my family. It's too late this summer but maybe next year we'll be here.
So whenever you wake up, you will be very happy with this clock
I’m from Fresno, and I grew up going to this area with my grandfather lol
We went to millers for ammo and went out to the range for the day, but we always needed to stop by the clock lol
Now this is really cool! Bet the townspeople get sick of it though!!
HihJh
No, we don't. It doesn't go day and night due to it's age. :)
It’s all good in theory until a hornet decides to build a nest in there or a squirrel somehow invades
or a cat
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night hearing this?🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
I thought the cuckoo would be louder than it was. The bell is louder.
If this thing was in Gotham, I'm sure it would be emitting poisonous gas or mind control waves.
Clock King would love this.
Thanks for being so positive
When the door shut on the last performers arm I died laughing.

i love cuckoo clocks and this one is extremely wonderful
The largest cuckoo clock is in Triberg, Germany, and not this one in Ohio!
Wrong karen
@@carmenvitale855 it depends on what you call a real cuckoo clock, if im not wrong than this one ist just a building that looks like a cuckoo clock but the inner workings and mechanics are actually just a motor powered machine. while the one in triberg Germany is actually designed and build like the traditional cuckoo clocks which are not powered by a motor but through gravitational pull from the weights.
@@TheKilaby I actually visited the one in Germany and I can confirm that it is driven by weights and has internal clockworks!
@@TheKilaby About thirty plus years ago I was stationed in Germany and went down to Triberg. I saw several large clocks that day and as you said, they are powered by traditional means. I brought back a few and over the years have accumulated many more.
I think that one you mean is technically in Schonach
Hi! Your videos keep popping up for me! And my fam just visited this! I think the universe wants us to be friends!🤗😂🙌❤️
That's Brilliant. I wish we could have that in our town.
That makes three of us. You, me and me.
I love this!
I seen this as a kid!😊
I'd like something like this big cuckoo clock in my town, too. I think that would be fun.

Sorry this is not the worlds largest clock! The world largest is in the heart of the black forest in Triburg Germany which i just came from last week , but for the united states i would say this to be the second largest clock in the world and it is very nice , the largest clock is 3 stories high and is the face of house of 1000 clocks in Triburg!
glenmann62 I know man, I have been there too, it's Triberg though, not Triburg
glenmann62 12
But are they cookoo clocks?
not sure Glennmann cause they don't use the length or the height from the building. they measure the height and length and weight of the clock mechanism not the building. thats why the second biggest cuckoo clock what is not a big building but the clock self is very big also stays by Triberg (between Triberg and Schönach.)
if they just measure the building then i don't know which cuckoo clock is the biggest cause i saw a lot of great buildings with cuckoo clocks inside. like Hinterzarten. height is not much but the total lenght of the building is 150m i guess? (same as by Triberg).+ Hinterzarten have also floors underground. where a restaurant is.
WELL, IT'S REFRESHING THAT SOMEONE KNOWS THE HISTORICAL TRUTHFUL FACTS
Hey ich weiss, dass du ein Schweizer bist. Man hat es an der Pauke gesehen, da stand "Swiss". Super Video.👍🏻😀
Puts a smile on my face I like the craftsmanship.
I sure would hate to be the guy that has to wind that up
that is so cute!
HOLY SHIT!! I live like a half hour from their never knew this!!😐🇺🇸🇺🇸
Gotta admit that bird has seen better days!!!
It's got asthma
A large Cuckoo clock but a small bird. That clock needs a big cuckoo
Think so
No you’re cuckoo
Who built that? I need to order some human sized people for a repeatedly peaceful demonstrations.

Just learned a little about my family history apparently 😂
The key word is Cuckoo Clock. Us locals have been tryin to get it recognised as such.
See a coo coo clock in OHIO would be like 💀
Blessed is THAT cheesemaker!
"Here comes the band out to play Gayden"
That was really cool. Thanks for sharing it.
Just went there in 2017 for my 13th birthday just to see this. But I went again for 17th last week, and nothin moved and the fountain and dancers were missing. So it was just music. NEEDS WORK😭😭
We can’t even have a normal clock in Ohio👌💀👌
Uuuuh maravilloso qué bueno me encantan los relojes cucú esto es muy muy bello👍👍🇦🇷🇦🇷
"Cant even have a cuclock in ohio💀"
*cuclock*
@@V.G.F. no, it's now cu"Clock" in Ohio. Originally, this is *C*mClock*
@@BestANT832 XD
Same one! It's on Main St. in Sugarcreek now across from the Sugarcreek Information Center.
Went last year and it must've been broken as the band didn't come out.
Wow that’s huge
I adore this. And what's the name of this precious music?
Beautiful , heartwarming, presentation all around.
Is that music coming from the Clock itself?
@@floragriffin4590 I would assume it's an automated orchestra like the one in the House on the Rock
Looks like something you'd see at Disneyland or Disneyworld.
Jay Ritch its tradion in germany fuck you bastard
eShishaKing 76 do not get mad, it’s only the truth, 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤮🤮🤮🤮
It really does why don’t they have one like this there?

Nice clock, There is one in a lake George restaurant which is a nice one also.
Fun! Does the water have anything to do with the clock I wonder or is it just a feature.
Although I see a pendulum, I don't see how to wind it. My own little clock gets wound once a week. It is 43 years old and still going well.
Karyl Entner Call the Hulk 😁😁. only he can wind the clock .
From the fact there is a whole band it is obvious it is electronic. There is no way the sounds of an entire band could be produced using mechanical sound making devices.
The pendulum is behind the waits also its mostly electric
Was that the clock at Alpine Alpa Restaurant a number of years ago??? It was on Rt 62 in Wilmot, OH... I thought it was sold to someone in Europe! Nice to see it again...
very nice!!!!!!!!
Amazing
can you imagine that going off all night long it would drive you doolally tap
I'm sure it has a function that silences the "chimes" between such-and-such hours, much like how a electromechanical master clock in a school doesn't ring the bells overnight or on the weekends.
Doolally tap. Is that you, Ned Flanders?
Why does that stupid bird keep calling me.
"Cuckoo Clock" from GColor(Galfar) to my Laziest MummA(Kundu MoM of Nandus).
It looks like it is made out of cheap ply wood and particle board.
Is it still in sugar creek? If so where? I'd love to go see it

That's not the biggest one. The actual world's biggest cuckoo clock is located in the Black Forest in Triberg, Germany. www.uhren-park.de/shop_content.php/language/en/coID/201610

This clock is excelent with the singers and dancing but the bird is bad.
I would say that bird probably has a bad cold!!😆
@@reaperfromthetheshadows7811 The sound of the bird is taxed.
The 🎵 sounds like a mex ranchera
Beautiful 😘👌

Biggest westminister clock?
It's probably why so many people in Ohio smoke. Our cigarettes save more people than they kill!
