    The Glasiusweg, just over 4 kilometers long, leads along the Eschach through the Adelegg. Along the way, 16 interactive learning and play stations invite young and old to immerse themselves in history and get to know the unique era of glassmaking in the Adelegg. The mascot, the glass spirit Glasius, is always part of the journey and shares firsthand experiences.

    The stations of the Glasiusweg bring history to life. They create the impression that the glassmakers have "just been here" and visually immerse you in the time of glassmaking.

    To create this impression, almost all stations are built with materials that were available at the time and are designed to look as historically authentic as possible.

    The stations are full of exciting stories from the glassmakers' era. But these stories want to be discovered. Text panels along the path are hidden under double floors, behind shutters, and in many other hiding places.

    Author’s recommendation

    • The Glasiusweg is not a circular route
    • The outbound and return route are the same
    • The route can be halved by starting in the middle, at the Ulmerthal parking lot
