The small town with only a few hundred inhabitants lives its history: originally founded as a forest settlement for glassblowers, Glashütte has developed over the centuries into a charming local recreation destination with rural flair. As a state-approved Kneipp health resort, Glashütte today combines the calm, pure air with beneficial health offers - embedded in a natural landscape with extensive forests, wide meadows and clear mountain air. Hikers and nature lovers appreciate the village as a perfect starting point for tours through the Schwalenberg forest, to viewpoints such as the Hoher Mörth or for circular walks along the lake and through the high forest. The tranquil village atmosphere with well-kept half-timbered houses, an active community and a deliberately slower pace of life invites you to take a break. While the historic district of Schwalenberg and Schieder Castle are within easy reach, Glashütte itself remains a peaceful retreat that combines the German Kneipp tradition with modern health culture. Whether a short break, health trip or quiet time-out - Glashütte offers ideal conditions for relaxation in natural surroundings all year round, with fresh air, gentle exercise, local Kneipp trails and proximity to experiences around the lake, castle and forests.
