    In the 80s of the last century it was possible to prove that a glass melting place was located here as early as the 13th century.

      There is not much to see directly here, but it is very nicely laid out and if a medieval glass smelter has been here since the end of the 13th century, then it is worth remembering. It is remarkable that the art of glassmaking only began in Europe in the High Middle Ages, although the Phoenicians were already producing glass in the 3rd millennium of Christ....

        Following individual finds, archaeological evidence of the site of 13th-century glassworks was established here in 1981.
        A beautiful and interesting resting place
