Waldmuseum in Zwiesel presents the cultural history of the Bavarian Forest through its forests, wildlife, crafts and communities. Its large diorama shows tree trunks and native wildlife. Further rooms explore meadows, hedges, plants and animals, while a walk-in forest hut shows how forest herders once lived and worked. Wood and glass crafts shape the collections. On the upper floor, objects from nearby glassworks and the local glass school show the skill behind regional glassmaking. A miniature glassmaking village adds a detailed view of that craft tradition. Other displays include a historic pharmacy and snuff tobacco containers, connecting everyday objects with the cultural history of the region. The museum also presents Bavarian folk culture. Changing exhibitions, concerts and educational programmes extend the museum’s cultural programme beyond its displays. Its chapel can host civil weddings and gatherings. The wheelchair-accessible museum welcomes visitors to these natural and cultural displays. The rooms bring natural history, regional work and human life in the forest together.
