In 1719, the Schlägl monastery built the Schwarzenberg glassworks, which was in operation for 30 years. 17 people were employed here to produce crystal glass, ruby and other coloured glass. This glass as well as hollow glass, bull's-eye panes and pearls were sold to Bad Ischl, Ottensheim and Passau, Krumau, Vienna and Hungary. Exhibition on glass production in the Kulturhaus Ulrichsberg. **Cross-border hiking trail - travel document required! 0 km** The hike starts at **Gasthof Dreiländereck in Oberschwarzenberg.** Follow the little-used tarmac road on a moderate incline to the end of the road. **1.6 km** Immediately at the **end of the road**, take the path to the left and shortly afterwards cross the Grenzbach stream in the hollow.
