Heiliger Berg Karmel, Bärnbach, Religious monument in Bärnbach, Austria.

The Carmelite convent stands at 539 meters elevation at the confluence of Gradnerbach and Kainach rivers in the Köflach-Voitsberger basin.

Archaeological discoveries from the Urnfield period, Hallstatt era, and Roman times indicate that people inhabited this sacred mountain in prehistoric times.

The Calvary complex includes four stone passion chapels distributed around the hilltop, dedicated to the mysteries of the Sorrowful Rosary.

Visitors can examine Urnfield period artifacts, including pots, bowls, loom weights, and spindle whorls in the monastery's parlor room.

A wayside shrine features an embedded Roman inscription stone from the 2nd century and wooden sculptures of weeping women at the tomb.
