Zwiesel: Krankenhaus
Zwiesel lies along the Black Regen in the Bavarian Forest, a compact town of roofs and streets set among the low, wooded hills of eastern Bavaria. The river begins here where the Großer Regen and Kleiner Regen meet, a confluence reflected in the town’s name, derived from an old term for a fork. Zwiesel has long been one of Germany’s glassmaking centres: local glassworks and specialist glass training have made the craft a defining part of its identity. Forested uplands surround the town, while the nearby Bavarian Forest National Park protects a broad tract of woodland close to the Czech border. This is a settled corner of the region rather than an isolated resort, with everyday town life closely tied to a landscape of rivers, slopes and forest.

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.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
