The Farrier-Car-Show will be held on Thursday afternoon:
Please come with your working vehicles for the “Car Show” on Thursday afternoon. The cars will be presented
and assessed on the exhibition premises above the Ostbayernhalle. Let your colleagues check your cars and get
suggestions for new ideas. The best vehicles will be honoured with fantastic prizes with the winners sharing
prices worth 2000€. And last but not least, it is also a question of pride to own one of the best working vehicles
in Europe. So prepare your “ride” for the car show!
Exhibitors
As in previous years, many wholesalers and producers from Germany and abroad will exhibit their
products. Meanwhile, it is the largest and most important exhibition for producers in the field of farrier
products. This is also the best opportunity to inform yourself about new tools, materials and car
accessories. There is also the possibility to purchase at favourable exhibition prices.
Translations are offered in Spanish, English and German.
For groups of 15 persons and more, Italian and French translations can be arranged.
Accomodation
Our hotels:
 Waldhotel – double room, holiday apartments from 2 to 4 persons.
 Gutsgasthof – double rooms, single rooms.
 Pension Rundblick – double rooms, single rooms (distance to the venue
approx. 2 km)

Rooms will be reserved on a “first come, first served”-basis. Bookings for one
night only are unfortunately not possible in the Waldhotel!
We can organize rooms for only one night in smaller hotels nearby, provided
you book as early as possible. They are very comfortable and only 2 – 5 km
away.

One request: Single rooms are only available in limited quantities. Therefore, please
book single rooms only if absolutely necessary. We will try to provide accommodation
for as many farriers as possible in the Waldhotel. Therefore, please agree with
friends to take double rooms and always call us before booking single rooms!
Should you attend the symposium with three or four friends, we recommend to book
the fantastic, huge holiday apartments including living room, 2 separate sleeping
rooms, kitchen and bathroom. The nights will be short anyway, it is more fun with
friends, less expensive and helps us a lot with the organization! Thank you!
