Pizzeria Cafe Dolomiti, the stone oven stop. Crispy stone-baked pizza and a cold beer make this stop particularly worthwhile after a few meters of elevation gain. The terrace invites you to continue your leisurely ride through the Zwiesel region.

Although only about 100 years old, from the outside it looks like it's from the Middle Ages.

The parish church of St. John the Baptist (formerly a monastery church) is the most beautiful Baroque church in the Bavarian Forest and boasts one of the most beautiful church interiors in Bavaria. The architect Johann Michael Fischer converted the previously Gothic church into this work of art in 1727. A medieval cloister with a courtyard garden dating from 1402 has also been preserved. The Rinchnach Local History and Tourism Office offers regular tours of the former monastery complex. These include the former brewery cellar, the oratory, the old parish hall, the medieval cloister with its courtyard garden, the side chapel with its unique shellwork decoration, and, of course, the impressive Baroque church. Registration: Tel. +49 (0)9921 / 9466-16 The side chapel in the parish church is the only chapel in Bavaria decorated with genuine freshwater pearl mussel shells. The Golgotha Group can be seen next to the grave of the Blessed Monk Hermann. https://www.bayerischer-wald.de/attraktion/pfarrkirche-rinchnach-9acb2aaa78

Zwiesel station is far more than a transport hub – it is a symbol of regional solidarity, mobility, and history. Since its opening in 1877, it has shaped the town in the Bavarian Forest and connected it to the world. With its four platform tracks and its function as a junction station, Zwiesel is the center of the so-called "Zwieseler Spider," a rail network that leads in all directions. Between 2006 and 2013, the station was extensively modernized, and a new island platform with barrier-free access was built. The platform heights were raised to 55 cm to allow for level access. The "Zwiesel" platform canopy was first installed here and was later used at other stations. The station is centrally located at Bahnhofsplatz 3, just a few minutes' walk from the town center and the famous glass pyramid. It is the starting point for hikes, bike tours, and excursions into the Bavarian Forest National Park – a true mobility anchor for locals and tourists. Zwiesel train station is not an anonymous transit point, but a living part of the city's history. It connects people, places, and times – and demonstrates how infrastructure can merge with identity. Those who arrive here sense that the journey doesn't begin on the train, but rather on the platform. https://www.bayerischer-wald.de/attraktion/bahnhof-zwiesel-81950df0d6

The world's tallest crystal glass pyramid is made of 93,665 Tritan® crystal glasses. The four-sided pyramid, weighing 11.5 tons, was created by 25 employees and apprentices of Zwiesel Krisallglas AG. Glasses on 65 levels and a total height of 8.06 m are also records. In Zwiesel, on May 25, 2007, the world's tallest crystal glass pyramid (height: 8.06 m) was ceremoniously inaugurated. For two weeks, a team from Zwiesel Krisallglas AG had been stacking glasses for the record-breaking project. Exactly 93,665 "Neckar" series white wine glasses were placed one by one, millimeter by millimeter, on top of each other, completely without glue or any other aids. The employees worked from scaffolding, partly secured like mountaineers. Due to a lack of technical control options, the construction was done almost entirely by eye. Only once did the pyramid threaten to go slightly out of shape, so that around 2,500 glasses had to be removed and restacked. Then the last wine glass was placed at the top, after which a crane installed the specially made protective glazing. The glass panels, weighing almost 5 tons, are supported by a delicate steel structure, which is an absolute technical challenge, as architect Uwe Fickenscher states. However, the pyramid requires more than just static knowledge from the planner. To prevent the stacked glasses from getting dirty or fogging up, a permanent dehumidification and dust removal system was installed. It has resulted in a glass world record and thus a new landmark for Zwiesel Kristallglas AG and also for the glass city of Zwiesel. https://www.bayerischer-wald.de/attraktion/glaspyramide-351dc60ba7
