From the Leonardikreuz you can enjoy impressive views of the Ötscher, Dürrenstein and the Seental.

Saint Leonard represents the patron saint of farmers and cattle, especially horses, stables, grooms, blacksmiths, locksmiths, water carriers, porters, miners, prisoners - called upon for headaches, mental and venereal diseases, for a good birth.

In iconography, often also as a Benedictine abbot with a crook and the attributes chain, often also shown with horses and oxen. The chain symbolizes the liberation of prisoners achieved by Leonhard. Over time, it was misinterpreted and viewed as a cattle chain, which is why he is considered the patron saint of cattle

Typical peasant rules that refer to Saint Leonard on the day of remembrance:

If rain falls on Leonhardi - the wheat is in bad shape.
After all the hard work - honor to Leonhardi the horse.
How the weather will be at Lenardi, it'll be certain until Christmas.
