Zwiesel

Few towns in Bavaria have a history as closely tied to glassmaking as Zwiesel. Set in the Bavarian Forest, it stands at the meeting point of the Großer Regen and Kleiner Regen, which form the Schwarzer Regen. Glass production has shaped the town since the 15th century and remains central to its identity through the Zwiesel Kristallglas tradition. Its Glass Pyramid, built from thousands of crystal glasses, makes that heritage visible in the town itself. Zwiesel is also served by the Bavarian Forest Railway and lies near the wooded uplands around Bavarian Forest National Park.
