Sculpted in bronze, the Steinbock stands proudly. It’s more than just a statue. It’s a symbol, gracing the very coat of arms of Eugendorf. The Steinbock Sculpture captures the spirit of the majestic ibex, a creature of the high mountains. A symbol of strength and resilience, it reminds us of the ibex’s incredible journey.
