The Premonstratensian monastery Speinshart was founded in 1145, around 1700 it received a new, richly decorated monastery church based on plans by Wolfgang Dientzenhofer. After secularization in 1803, the former economic buildings became a monastery village, which today is considered an important architectural monument. On our way from there to the church ruins of Barbaraberg, once the summer residence of the abbots, we encounter life-sized statues carved from stone. These are folk saints from the 18th century, which were once placed by the Speinshart Abbey at prominent points in the network of paths around the monastery. The pilgrimage church of St. Barbara from 1759 was left to decay after secularization; only the ornate Baroque facade and a chapel have been preserved.
From the parking lot in Speinshart by the image of Saint Mary Immaculate, we go through the entrance gate into the monastery courtyard and to the remarkable monastery church. After the visit, we walk past the church, along an avenue, and to another sandstone statue, the bridge saint John of Nepomuk. The entire hike is sporadically marked in blue-white-blue. We cross the road and walk along a field path to a forest corner and then left along the edge of the forest, until a forest path leads right into the forest. We follow this and after the forest area head towards the village ahead of us. In Seitenthal, we turn left at the signpost towards Barbaraberg. Shortly after the Seitenthal village sign, we ascend a meadow path on the left to a forest corner with a viewing bench. Continuing upwards between orchard meadows and forest edge, and finally a few steps up to the entrance of Barbaraberg. We turn right and shortly stand at the back of the church ruins.
