Mountain tour to the Hohe Veitsch

We start our tour at the top of the pass at Niederalpl (1,221 m). First we follow a forest path to the Sohlenalm. Once at the Sohlenalm, we cross a forest road, then turn left into the forest, then a short stretch across an alpine pasture and continue again along a forest road that leads to the Wildkammsteig trail between Wildkamm and Hohe Veitsch. Along the trail you always have a view of the distant summit cross. After the long traverse along the trail, we now reach the Gingatzwiese via a steeper ascent. Once there, we follow the path to the right (on the left we could branch off to the Großer Wildkamm) up to the Veitsch plateau, where we then head south to the already visible summit cross of the Hohe Veitsch (1,981 m).

At the large summit cross you have a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and also down to the Graf-Meran-Schutzhaus (walking time approx. 20 minutes).

We return the same way.

Don't forget your camera - beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding mountains from the summit cross
