Drachselsried is a municipality in the district of Regen, in Bavaria, Germany. Drachselsried is in the Zeller Valley (German: Zellertal), and is part of the Glass Road (Glasstrasse) The area is part of the Bavarian Forest National Park. The village is a small, highly organised, friendly place to live. Bayern Eins, the German radio station, gave some history details of the village, which was first noted in 1184. I am English living in Drachselsried and have created a local English website. The village continues to grow with the addition in 2017 of a retirement home with private apartments, close to the village centre. A number of new homes have been built on land available for purchase from the local council.
