circular route over the Rostocker Eck

Directly at the winter hut of the Essen-Rostocker House, the ascent begins along the lateral moraine of the Simony Glacier. Here, path No. 920 initially overlaps with path No. 919 of our circular route, the Carl-Bremer path. We follow the moraine westward to its end, where the path branches at a signpost in the first rocky section. From here, unmistakably on the left and already in a southerly direction, the ascent to the summit begins. The overall marking of this round is somewhat faded due to age, but in snow-free conditions with clear visibility, the path is hardly to be missed. In particular, the many stone steps here make the relatively short ascent easier. Already a few meters before the summit, the rear descent consisting of fine scree is immediately visible. After the first steeper 20 meters, the path passes a roughly five-meter-long secured section at about a constant height. The following section is marked with three larger cairns and leads to a signpost indicating the way back to the Essen-Rostocker Hut.
