July 20, 2022,Hohe Veitsch - Rundwanderung über Goassteign/ Graf Meran Haus🥾

👌🏼Fantastic circular hike with consistently magnificent views🤩. Actually an easy hike, no ropes or ladders, no exposed areas, but sure-footedness required🥾.
Twice I had to avoid a 🐄herd of cows🤷🏻‍♂️😅. A lot of cows lie around at the top of the lush green pastures. But they are good and don't move much, it's probably too hot for them too🥵.

From there to Hohe Veitsch, down to Graf Meranhaus.
Descent again via the Schallersteig.
Very nice day despite the initial fog.
