Gläserne Arche
Hiking Highlight
Tips
- Sebastian Kowalke
In 2003, regional glass artists created this 4.80 meter long ship. It consists of countless, thin glass panes and weighs more than three tons. From 2003 to 2005 it traveled to the most important places of traditional glassmaking in the Bavarian-Bohemian border area. Meanwhile, the Glass Ark has found its last resting place in the forest of the Bavarian Forest. It lies on the slope of Lusen in a huge wooden hand.

On Lusen, between Teufelsloch and Himmelsleiter, near the Czech border, lies a green-shimmering, five-meter-long ship. It consists of 480 interconnected glass panes and is held by a hand made of oak wood: the glass ark.
