    There is a lot to discover at the Weißenstein ruins: not only the rocks of the pile and the castle ruins invite you to marvel here, but also a unique park: the glass forest. Different “tree species” by the artist Rudolf Schmid are gathered on an area of 2,000 square meters. Depending on the position of the sun, the colors of the colorful glasses change and cast colorful shadows on the ground. Really worth seeing!

      A visit in good weather brings out the colors better

        Anyone who's ever in the Bavarian Forest must absolutely visit the glass forest in Regen. It's a truly amazing sight, and I commend this artist for his colors and, of course, the nighttime illumination. Equally interesting are the nearby Weissenstein Castle ruins and the small chapel, whose exterior walls still feature memorial tablets.
