Zwiesel is a beer culture town and, with its steam beer tradition, an ideal place to start, arrive, or stop along the way: Freshly tapped steam beer awaits you in the brewery's taproom, the Bräustüberl (brewery taproom), and the traditional Bavarian snack bar – perfect for a pre-tour refreshment or a relaxing break midway through your adventure. Nestled between the charm of a glassmaking town, historic inns, and its proximity to the national park, Zwiesel uniquely combines nature, culture, and beer enjoyment. www.zwiesel.de

The impressive town hall in Zwiesel has a turbulent history. A town hall in use since at least 1535 was burned down by the Swedes in 1633, along with the market square. It was rebuilt in 1635 but burned down again in 1707, resulting in the loss of many important records. The subsequent town hall was also destroyed in the market fire of 1832. In 1838, construction began on the current town hall on the site of the previous building. It wasn't until 1844 that the building, which until then had only a temporary roof, was properly re-roofed. In 1876, the town council decided to crown the town hall with a small tower. The work was awarded to master carpenter Georg Stolka for 1100 marks. He began erecting the turret on December 18, 1876. The tower's cupola was added on December 30, 1876, by journeyman carpenter Johann Kagerbauer. In the first days of the following year, the clock and bell were opened. The bell came from the old town hall, where it had been used for many decades to signal the start of council meetings. On January 16, 1877, the tower bell of the new town hall tower was rung for the first time. The town hall clock was also set in motion that day. The town hall has three stories with five window bays each. The windows of the lower floors are round-arched, as are the three portals, which are arranged side by side and are of the same size. A stepped landing lies in front of these portals. The upper floor has rectangular windows. The windows and portals have rusticated frames, and the corner pilasters are also rusticated. The stories are separated by cornices that run below the window sills. The ground floor features ashlar masonry. In front of the central window of the first upper floor, which extends into a doorway, is a balcony supported by a volute corbel and a balustrade. The flat roof, which slopes towards the tower, rests on a corbel frieze. The tower features wooden ornaments encased in sheet metal. The slate shingles of its roof are laid in a pattern, the spire is decorated with floral ornaments, and the weathervane at the very top consists of tin flower cups. The bell, cast in Straubing in 1707, weighs approximately twenty kilograms. https://www.niederbayern-wiki.de/wiki/Rathaus_(Zwiesel)

In the village green of Zwiesel stands an extraordinary chapel. It is likely the only chapel in all of Europe built entirely of hand-cast glass bricks. The small church is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Services are held here during town festivals and throughout the month of May. The idea originated with the internationally renowned glass designer and sculptor Walter Wenzl from Bernried. First, a metal frame was welded to ensure the chapel's stability. Glassmakers from the Zwiesel Glass School then painstakingly hand-cast 131 textured, tricolored glass bricks for the chapel's structure and altar. The three color layers—brown, green, and blue—represent earth and groundedness, nature and growth, and heaven. The glass bricks were then individually fitted into the metal frame. In keeping with the motto of the town of Zwiesel, "Fine glass and good wood are Zwiesel's pride," the chapel was given a wooden roof truss, and the figure of Christ was also carved from wood. He hangs in the chapel on a glass cross. Finally, the small tower received a red, mouth-blown glass bell as a symbol of love. It bears the inscription: "Consecrated in the peace of the town of Zwiesel." Above the entrance to the glass chapel, you can see an infinity symbol with a cross. According to tradition, the infinity symbol was already used for glass in the time of the alchemists. This symbol means: Making glass is an endless cross. The chapel was completed in 2002 and consecrated in 2003. When the bell is rung, it sounds like a promise: the promise that high-quality glass will continue to be produced in the glassmaking town of Zwiesel. https://www.zwiesel.de/kunst-und-kultur/kirchenkapellenwallfahrtenundpilgerwege/glaskapelle.html

The world's tallest crystal glass pyramid consists of 93,665 Tritan® crystal glasses. The four-sided, 11.5-ton pyramid was created by 25 employees and apprentices from Zwiesel Krisallglas AG. Glasses on 65 levels and a total height of 8.06 m are also records. The world's tallest crystal glass pyramid (height: 8.06 m) was ceremoniously inaugurated in Zwiesel on May 25, 2007. A team from Zwiesel Krisallglas AG spent two weeks stacking glasses for the record-breaking project. Exactly 93,665 white wine glasses from the "Neckar" series were placed one by one, with millimeter precision, completely without glue or any other aids. The employees worked from scaffolding, some of them secured like mountain climbers. Due to a lack of technical control options, the construction was done almost entirely by eye. Only once did the pyramid threaten to lose its shape, so around 2,500 glasses had to be removed and stacked again. Then the last wine glass was placed at the top, after which a crane lifted the specially made protective glazing into place. The almost 5-ton glass panels are supported by a delicate steel structure, a technical challenge, according to architect Uwe Fickenscher. But the pyramid requires more than just structural engineering expertise from the designer. To prevent the stacked glasses from becoming dirty or fogged up, a permanent dehumidification and dust extraction system were installed. A glass world record has been created, creating a new landmark for Zwiesel Kristallglas AG and also for the glass-making town of Zwiesel. https://www.bayerischer-wald.de/attraktion/glaspyramide-351dc60ba7

Here in Zwiesel there are numerous sights and great opportunities for hiking and biking 😉 It's always worth a visit 👌

Beautiful sculpture at the Angerpark in Zwiesel.

Very nice place that connects the two twin towns of Zwiesel and Brake with a maritime property.

Even if the river hiking trail is a bit boring here, the view over Zwiesel compensates a little...
