View of Wildkamm and Surroundings

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the Wildkamm is a beautiful viewpoint on a hike through the Veitsch region. Particularly striking is the elongated, partly rocky ridge, which clearly stands out from the wooded slopes of the surrounding area. Depending on the location, a wide view opens up over the mountain landscape of the Mürzer Oberland and towards the surrounding peaks. A good place for a short break – and a beautiful photo motif along the tour.

Hohe Veitsch Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

The Hohe Veitsch (1,981 m) is the highest point of the Veitsch massif and a magnificent summit destination in Hochsteiermark. Around the summit cross, the landscape opens up and, with good visibility, the view extends far beyond the surrounding mountains – including towards Hochschwab, Schneealpe, and Rax. Particularly beautiful is the contrast between the wooded ascents and the vast, almost high-alpine landscape on the plateau. A summit where the altitude meters are definitely worth it and where you'll gladly take a longer break.
