Veitsch is a former municipality in the district of Bruck-Mürzzuschlag in Styria, Austria. Since the 2015 Styria municipal structural reform, it is part of the municipality Sankt Barbara im Mürztal.[2]

Starting from the local church in Veitsch, a forest trail leads up the mountain to the Veitsch Pilgrims Cross on the Mount of Olives.[3] The cross was built in 2004 and it is the largest of its kind in the world.
