Bischofsgrün was supposedly the town where the art of glassblowing became a true industry. Glassblowing is no longer a necessity, but Bischofsgrün (Engl: "Bishopsgreen") has become something of a tourist attraction, not for its growth but for its lack of it. While it does have some bucolic resorts set into foothills, it also still has a few farms, at least one microbrewery, and some impressive stone churches.
The people are mostly rustic, salt-of-the-earth Germans - one might compare this "south-central" region of Germany to be oddly parallel in temperament to what would expect in Kentucky or Tennessee in the U.S.: A warm charm, and a relaxed drawl in the local dialect.
