The tower was open, we had great weather and therefore a wonderful view from the tower in all directions. We took our break in the pavilion below the tower.

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.
