    Hiking

    In the Gläsnertal you will find historic glassworks from the pre-industrial era in a green landscape. A path leads through gentle meadows and dense forests.

    The glassmakers once filled the valley with life with their work. A large statue at the hiking parking lot commemorates this.

    Hiking

    In winter it is better to go left of the valley on the sunny side.
