Glass production gave the nearby summit “Glaskopf” and the settlement “Glashütte” their names. Today there is little more to see than the foundations of the former ovens.

Here, near the millennia-old trade routes, there is a small medieval industrial area over the centuries: first charcoal fires, then an iron ore melt and finally the glassblowing with five buildings.

Interesting place with a beautiful waterfall when there is enough water. In winter, the historic glass furnaces are covered, so you should walk in the spring to fall, if you want to see them. Otherwise, just nice.

There are not many medieval places that show you where and how glass was made at that time. Would only be nice if people would stick to not getting around on the remains of the stove (note the request on board B!). Since the spot is in the middle of the valley, you always have interesting lighting moods with changing sun and clouds.
