Arnbruck: Glassmaking, Hiking Trails and Leisure

Arnbruck combines glassmaking with hiking trails and a range of leisure activities. When choosing your stay, you can decide whether you would like to learn about glassmaking, plan a walking tour, or consider swimming and winter sports. Some of the destinations mentioned are in the village, while others are nearby; starting points, approximate durations and distances help you distinguish between the options when planning.

Glassmaking and the Glass Garden

The Weinfurtner Glass Village is located in the heart of Arnbruck. Visitors can learn about the finishing and production of glass there. The Glass Garden is nearby, right next to the road leading north from Arnbruck towards Thalersdorf. It has a large playground and a petting zoo for children. The two attractions offer different experiences: the focus at the Glass Village is working with glass, while the playground and petting zoo are part of the offering at the Glass Garden. When planning your day, you can consider whether you are more interested in glass or in activities for children.

Hiking Trails and Time Planning

There are several landmarks to help you plan your hikes. The nature trail starts at the information pavilion of the Bavarian Forest Nature Park, near the tourist information office in Arnbruck, and takes about two and a half hours. The more challenging ascent from Arnbruck via the Ab8 takes about two hours. When planning your day, you can therefore compare a nature trail with a longer duration against a more challenging ascent with a shorter estimated time. A section of the Goldsteig quality hiking trail runs along the municipalities of Arnbruck and Drachselsried in the Zellertal valley. The Four Seasons Trail is marked in red as Ab53; its companion brochure is available from the Arnbruck Tourist Information Office. Check the current trail markings before setting out.

Swimming, Winter Sports and Flights

The Arnbruck panoramic swimming pool is open for swimming year-round. Check the current schedule before visiting. The Eck-Riedelstein ski area is 4 km from Arnbruck and offers slopes of all difficulty levels as well as a modern snowmaking system. The two attractions differ in that the panoramic swimming pool is open for swimming year-round, while the ski area’s seasonal opening and facilities may change. So check its current operating status before visiting.

Flights are also available for interested visitors at Arnbruck airfield. These include four-seat sport aircraft, two-seat motor gliders, ultralight aircraft and gliders. The different aircraft types provide a useful guide if you would like to include a flight in your stay. Check availability before your trip.
