    Tips

    The St. Vinzenz glassworks was once founded by the monks of the Benedictine monastery of St. Paul. The "Neue Hütte" was founded in 1757 after an older glassworks had been abandoned, which was located further up the mountain. The difficult economic situation finally led to the closure of the glass factory in 1878. St. Vinzenz only became better known again when the reservoir was completed in 1990. The church window with the inscription "Glas" and "Strom" together with the corresponding dates reminds of the glorious past that the village experienced as a stronghold of glass production on the Koralpe. Hollow, sheet and mirror glass were produced. There are information boards on the roadside that tell about the great times. The former forester's house is now the forester's house of the Prince of Croÿ's forest administration.
