Comments
Difficulty: T3 and surefootedness
From the Forchach hiking car park I went to the start of the hiking trail.
I actually hadn't expected a signpost like the one that was right at the start.

If you can do the whole thing as a "normal" hike, simply "just" go to the Schwarzhanskarspitze and back again. It's not really difficult on good paths up the 1200 meters to the summit - it just takes strength.
