Gläserne Arche
Hiking Highlight
Tips
- Sebastian Kowalke
In 2003, regional glass artists created this four and a half meter long ship. It consists of countless thin sheets of glass and weighs more than three tons. From 2003 to 2005 it traveled to the most important places for traditional glass production in the Bavarian-Bohemian border area. In the meantime, the glass ark has found its last resting place in the sea of forests of the Bavarian Forest. It lies on the slope of the 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.

The joint art project by German glassmakers and Czech wood sculptors can now be admired below the Luse summit after a long journey through the entire Bohemian Forest. The work of art, which is supposed to commemorate the tradition of glassworks, also stimulates thinking about nature.

Good idea! Another glass ark can be admired in front of the glass museum in Frauenau.

At the end of the forest house bar the "trip" with the "Glass Ark" should be undertaken.
