The Schwellweiher is an idyllic, over 150-year-old forest lake in the Bavarian Forest. It is well hidden in a forest area between the villages of Bodenmais and Langdorf (district Brandten) in the Regen district. It formerly served as a water reservoir for timber rafting (floating logs on the river), and today it is a protected habitat for animals such as kingfishers, dragonflies, and tadpoles.

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
