    Hiking

    Can be easily overlooked. The information boards explain a lot about the glassmaking in the area

    Hiking

    Since no foundations were found here during excavations that were clearly recognizable as a glass furnace, a symbolic furnace foundation was established.
    Only later (2006) were foundations of glass melting furnaces and innumerable pieces of glass production found during excavations.

    Hiking

    The glass-making tradition in the Fichtelgebirge can be explored particularly well on the glass trail. Weidenberg and Warmensteinach have had a traditional industry here and continue to pass on the knowledge of this, for example in the Warmensteinach Glass Museum (leisure house/tourist information)
