In the middle of Volkach's historic market square, directly in front of the baroque town hall, stands a modern iron sculpture in the shape of a horse. The stylized figure immediately catches the eye—simple, powerful, and symbolically rich.

The iron horse (made from hoops from old wine barrels) stands on Volkach's market square to commemorate its 1200th anniversary. From the very beginning, it has been a magnet for tourists and locals alike.

This is how easy it is to create a typical selfie point... the absolute photo magnet at the market square
