Starting from the parking lot behind the Timmelsbrücke bridge on the right-hand side of the road, head north into the main valley as far as the Timmelsalm mountain pasture (30). From there, cross the bridge and continue in a north-easterly direction on the left-hand side of the valley until you reach Unterkrumpwasser (an open plateau, traversed by the meandering Passer river). Remain on the left side of the high valley and proceed further northeast. Then follow the steep path up and over the hill, revealing the Schwarzsee lake (30) beyond.
Continue northeast along the western shoreline of the Großer Schwarzsee lake, across the grassland as far as the Schwarzwandscharte ridge, to the start of the glacier (30). Then, follow the narrow but negotiable trail southeast over a rocky ridge up to the Hofmannspitze summit.
The way back from the Hofmannspitze follows the same route in reverse. From the Schwarzwandscharte glacier return to the Schwarzsee lake, and then to the Timmelsbrücke bridge (30), past the Timmelsalm mountain pasture.
