The Glass Street performs Eastern Bavaria
background
Glasstrasse was founded in 1997. It stretches for about 250 kilometers through the whole Eastern Bavaria, from Pen country through the Upper Palatinate Forest and the Bavarian forest. The route runs through wooded areas, the wood was needed in earlier centuries as an energy source by glassmakers and glass refiners.
preparation
getting there
The Glasstraße is not a holiday route with only one route, there are places that are out of the way like Amberg and again and again there are loops and variants that connect the individual places with each other. Depending on your own interests and time frame, it is advisable to define your own route to the stations of the Glasstraße. Any place on the route is suitable as the start or end of a stage.
