Itinerary description
We parked the car at Ströden and took the taxi (15€/person) to the initial point at Johannishütte (2.116m).
The hike starts with a steep trail for about 3,5 km upto the summit Türmljoch (2.790m). 360° views from here are amazing.
Now an easy descent for 4 km with beautiful sights upto the hut Essener-Rostocker Hütte (2.208 m).
In this point you can decide either go to the small lake Simony See (go 1,5 km + 1,5 km return), or reach the summit Rostocker Eck (2.749 m) in a 3,5 hr round hike to return to the hut, or enjoy the sun, the meals, the home made desserts and drinks of the hut. We decided to get to the Rostocker Eck, but I strongly recommend to follow the opposite direction because my descent was very steep and slippery in some areas.
Then, the final 6 kms from the hut to the parking at Stroden are really pleasant, following the river along a very comfortable trail with incredible views of the glaciar, the valley, the river, the waterfalls,...
Attention!!
- not try the ascent to the Rostocker Eck in case of rain because the path (loose rocks) will become very slippery and dangerous.
- Follow the ascent to the Rostocker Eck in the opposite direction, not like I did it.
- good head for height is necessary to reach the Rostocker Eck, especially to descend.
- no fontaines during the way
- only one hut to eat&drink something, even to spend the night
- pullover, raincoat, winter jacket, boots and walking sticks are mandatory.
Amazing route, highly recommended.
