The Bründl Chapel near St. Leonhard was built in 1728 and is now one of the municipality's listed buildings. Located on the old road to Ennsedt, it exudes a special sense of tranquility with its simple Baroque architecture, dome-like ceiling, and statue of the praying Virgin Mary. According to tradition, the spring water that springs here has healing powers—especially for the eyes and ears—which is why the chapel remains a popular place of contemplation to this day. A visit can be wonderfully combined with a bike ride, for example, on the Haiderberg panoramic view trail, which leads to the highest point in the municipality. From there, a wide view of the hilly landscape of the Mühlviertel opens up before you return to the chapel and take in the tranquil setting at the Bründl.
