    Tips

    November 1, 2024

    The nature reserve consists at its core of moist to wet meadows. Edges form the transition to the forest. Numerous springs feed the Alpirsbächle, which flows through the valley meadows. The name of the nature reserve probably derives from a glassworks that stood in the area of the Karlsquelle. The forest was cleared in order to be able to provide the glassworks with enough charcoal as an energy source. After the end of glass production, the forest was able to reclaim the valley slopes. The floodplain remained free of forest and was used for agriculture until the middle of the 20th century.
