The "Leonhardiritt" a century old Bavarian Tradition

in #travel7 years ago

The "Leonhardiritt" is a Bavarian Tradition that was first started in 1436. The tradition consists of a procession through the village with horses and carriages in the honour of Saint Leonard of Noblac.

I attended the "Leonhardiritt" in Hundham (about an hour south of Munich) on the 4th of November.
