In the western Allgäu is the glassmaking village of Schmidsfelden, a very special gem that presents its visitors with the art of glassblowing up close. Here you can watch the master glassmakers at work, marvel at traditional and modern glass art in the studios and also purchase works of art. The founding of the Schmidsfelden glassworks dates back to 1622 and since then the art of glassmaking has continued to develop.

Particularly fascinating is the opportunity to watch the masters creating works of art from raw glass, who are also happy to explain their craft to visitors. A museum in Schmidsfelden also tells the story of the art of glassmaking in the region and offers an insight into the different techniques and styles.

The annual open day is a special highlight, because on this day the studios and workshops of the master glassmakers open their doors and offer visitors the opportunity to delve even deeper into the world of glassblowing.
