A visit to the glassworks offers a direct look into a working site where glass is still made by hand. You will see molten glass, wooden moulds, the work of master glassmakers and the next steps that lead to the creation of drinking and decorative glass. The site also includes the Glass Museum, which presents a historically and technologically comprehensive collection of Harrachov glass production and recalls more than three centuries of glassmaking in Nový Svět.
The glassworks is more than just a tour of the glass hut. The site also includes a company shop, restaurant, café with bakery, tourist hotel and a microbrewery located directly by the glassworks. A visit can therefore easily turn into a longer stop – first glass at the furnace, then the museum, shopping, lunch or a tasting of beer “from the glassmakers”. Harrachov thus offers an experience that adds a craft-based and slightly unexpected side to mountain tourism.
