From the Timmelsbrücke bridge, follow marked trail no. 29 via the mountain huts Tomelekaser and Obergostalm towards the Schneeberger See lake. From here, follow the Knappensteig trail to the Schneeberghütte mountain hut. Continue to follow the marked trail signs, hiking up to the Karlscharte gap and down towards the Timmelsbach stream. From here, the tour heads towards the Großer Schwarzsee lake. Afterwards, head left and down towards the idyllically situated mountain hut Timmelsalm for refreshments. Descend via a comfortable service road back to the starting point on the Timmelsjochstraße road.
