The Achternock ( 2667 m slm , also Sagernock , Italian Cima delle Otto ) is a summit in the western part of the Rieserferner group . It is located south of the Reintal at the confluence of the Geltal in the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park in South Tyrol . The aft rock represents the northern end point of the ridge that borders the Geltal in the west. This ridge branches off at the Kleiner Rauchkofel from the main ridge of the Rieserferner group and runs almost exactly in a northerly direction. To the north of the Achternock there is another peak, the Putzernock ( 2566 m ), which, however, is only a ridge edge. From Sand in Taufers , the Achternock appears as a striking pyramid in the west above the Reintal.
The first documented ascent of the Achternock, formerly known as Sagernock, took place on July 12, 1878 by Rudolf Seyerlen under the guidance of Johann Niederwieser , known as Stabler.
On the summit there is a summit cross with a replica of an eagle on top.
Increase opportunities
The easiest ascent leads from the southwest from the Äußere Geltalalm ( 1995 m ), which can be reached in about an hour from the Reintal, on path tracks in a south-westerly direction to below the south ridge of the mountain. The ridge is won at a suitable point in the flatter part south of the summit. Over the ridge, sometimes dodging into the flanks, you get to the summit rock in easy climbing ( UIAA I ). You bypass this somewhat exposed on the east side and finally reach the summit via a somewhat more difficult climbing point (UIAA II) from the north.
