A fantastic marble run, right in the middle of the forest. With many beautiful tracks and seating areas. Don't forget your €1 coins, because that's the only way to get a marble!

This marble run is a really great idea. We had a lot of fun. Highly recommended for adults too. You should have a euro with you, though, or you won't get a marble.

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.
