From Martin Busch Hütte above Niederjochbach brooklet you walk to the bridge on a slightly rising path that encircles the foothills of Marzellkamm ridge. After about 20 walking minutes (fork) you take the steeper switchback trail on the right, heading towards Marzellkamm. Follow the ridge to its highest point and enjoy picturesque vistas of the Alpine scenery and the crevasses of Marzell glacier.
