🚲✨ A visit to the wild horses in Merfelder Bruch is an experience you won't find anywhere else in Europe. This vast nature reserve is home to the continent's last remaining wild horse herd – a tradition that has existed for centuries.

🚲✨ World-famous is the Wildpferdefang (wild horse roundup), which traditionally takes place on the last Saturday in May. During this event, the young stallions of the herd are caught with bare hands and separated from the herd to avoid fights. A spectacular event in a large natural arena!
