Veitsberg, Mountain summit in Carinthia, Austria

Veitsberg is a 1160 m summit in Carinthia, a secondary peak of the Gößeberg (1171 m) in the Wimitz Mountains' Schneebauer ridge, between Liemberg and St. Urban, halfway between St. Veit an der Glan and Feldkirchen. A small chapel with a wooden barrel vault stands on the top. The north side slopes gently toward the Freundsamer Moos, while the south drops steeply to the Liembergbach valley.

The summit chapel was first documented in 1580; Roman-era finds such as a Mithras sanctuary near St. Urban suggest earlier cult use. After a fire in 1950 the small church was rebuilt, but the statue of St. Vitus, the mountain's namesake, is missing. Liemberg Castle ruin on the eastern slope was first mentioned in 1167 and has stood abandoned since at least 1688.

The mountain is named after Saint Vitus, to whom the summit chapel was dedicated; his statue is now missing. Since 1950 a rebuilt chapel with a wooden barrel vault stands on the peak. The Veitsberg is the third and highest station of the Vierbergelauf, a traditional circular pilgrimage: walkers circle the church three times clockwise and then ring its bell to have a wish granted.

The summit chapel stands on the Veitsberg itself, reached on foot from Liemberg or St. Urban; the Vierbergelauf pilgrimage passes here as its third and highest station. The northern slopes drop gently toward the Freundsamer Moos, while the southern side falls steeply to the Liembergbach valley. Ruine Liemberg (first mentioned 1167, abandoned since at least 1688) and 16th-century Schloss Liemberg lie on the eastern slope and foot.

The summit chapel was first documented in 1580 and rebuilt after a 1950 fire; the statue of Saint Vitus, the mountain's namesake, is missing. On the Vierbergelauf pilgrimage the church is circled three times clockwise and its bell rung to make a wish.
