Family trip to the Glashütte Museum Village: Industrial culture in the forest

This family's experience:

Activities: We visited Museumsdorf Glashütte, exploring the old half-timbered buildings. We walked along the former horse-drawn railway, saw an old goods wagon, and enjoyed the crafts and regional cuisine

Highlights: We enjoyed the Industriekultur and the regional food. Our junior was able to blow his own glass ball. The highlight was glassblowing in the former furnace hall of the glassworks ✨
