Herzogreitherfelsen in St. Leonhard
St. Leonhard bei Freistadt, Oberösterreich, Österreich




The Herzogreitherfelsen rock on the Herzogreitherberg, on whose summit a wooden castle is said to have once stood, is visible from afar. It is thought to have served as protection for the population in times of war. Some of the repositories for piles and palisades are still recognisable, as well as a few sacrificial bowls that suggest cultural activities.
The cross on the Herzogreitherfelsen rock was erected by a farmer in gratitude for the fact that his wife miraculously survived a fall during logging work by hanging almost unharmed from the branch of a tree.
