The wolf fountain on the town hall square in Wolfstein pays homage to the town's name, which dates back to a historic noble line, the Lords of Wolfstein. The wolf in the fountain symbolizes the naming and, as a heraldic animal, represents the town's historical connection to this line, which named itself after the town in the late 13th century.

A historical highlight with a miniature train, railway romance, and home-brewed Bachbahn beer—ideal for an enjoyable break on the old railway embankment.
