Hohe Veitsch

The limestone massif of Hohe Veitsch extends 5.5 kilometers from its main peak at 1,981 meters to a plateau at 1,500 meters altitude.

The Graf Meran House mountain shelter, constructed beneath the summit at 1,836 meters, has provided accommodation for mountaineers since its establishment by the Austrian Tourist Club.

The mountain forms an essential part of the North Alpine Way 01 hiking network, connecting multiple regional paths across the Austrian alpine territory.

Visitors can access the summit through multiple marked trails, with the Goaß climb route taking approximately two and a half hours to reach the Graf Meran House.

The mountain's north-south long-distance path number 05 intersects with the Styrian Mariazell Way, creating a network of routes across the limestone plateau.
