    Hahnkreuz near Doberndorf
    It must have been around 1840 to 1850, it is said, that a musician froze to death here. The property owner at the time, Matthias Hengstberger, had therefore erected a cross at this point, which was re-erected in 1955 but destroyed again in 1976 by a lightning strike.
    But one did not let this force of nature get her down - the parts were painstakingly reassembled by the company Weidenauer from Horn and the cross was completely restored. At that time, in 1955, there was still a sacrificial box from whose donations a holy mass was read every year on All Souls' Day in the parish church in Rodingersdorf.
    The wayside shrine is called the Hahnkreuz because there is a rooster on the top of the tin roof.
