I tried to get to the village of Schachtenbach but also it has disappeared with time . there is only a walkinh track that goes through forrest to where it once stood. Did a walk to Regenhutte the factory was still standing but abandoned.
There were great examples of glass from these factories at the glass museum in Frauenau.
