A lovely restaurant at the foot of the Rauher Kulm.

Speinshart Monastery is always worth a visit

If you didn't know, you'd never suspect such a vast monastery complex in Speinshart. The monastery church, with its lavish stucco work and rich furnishings, is one of the most important in southern Germany. In addition to the stucco work, note the carved stringers of the pews, and don't forget the Steinmeyer organ. It's best to take a guided tour!

nice for a rest - further up is not recommended by bike

The rampart on the Rauher Kulm is a fortification at the foot of the Rauher Kulm. Gate area of the rampart Area disturbed by quarrying The Rauher Kulm, as a basalt mountain in the otherwise flat surroundings, was already visited by people in prehistoric times. The rampart made of basalt blocks runs around the foot of the mountain. Finds point to the Bronze Age, the Celts, the time of the Carolingians and the Slavic settlement chambers. Fighting took place during the time of the Hungarian invasions. Even if the rampart has been disturbed by later interventions, including the creation of an English garden across the entire mountain or the mining of the basalt in quarries, the course can be recognized from the basalt boulders. There is a lower main rampart with at least two gate areas and another fortified area at medium height. The hilltop castle is, however, classified as largely late medieval. Several burial mounds are also known. It is assumed that the settlement was located within the protective wall, so that it was not just a refuge. The predominantly stone remains were reinforced by wooden structures, among other things. There is evidence of post-and-slot walls, kennel-shaped walls and additionally secured gate areas. The cartographer Johann Christoph Stierlein made a drawing of the Rauher Kulm and recorded both the rampart and the hilltop castle.[1] The rampart was researched at the beginning of the 20th century by Adalbert Neischl on behalf of the Nuremberg Natural History Society and Hugo Obermaier, who completed Neischl's work. Hans Losert has been carrying out excavations for over ten years and is responsible for the scientific analysis.

The ring wall itself dates back to the time of the Celts and probably served as a refuge or place of worship. The remains of the ramparts are still clearly visible and make for an exciting exploration tour. The climb to the summit is a bit strenuous, but the view and the historic atmosphere definitely make the effort worthwhile.

The monastery was founded in 1230 and belongs to the Cistercian order. It has played an important role in the religious and cultural development of the region over the centuries.

Speinshart Monastery was built in the 12th century as a Romanesque monastery complex. The monastery and church are one of the most important and beautiful monuments in the Upper Palatinate. The monastery itself is not open to visitors for viewing the interior, but the church itself, built in the 17th century in a Baroque style, is worth a visit.
