From Vent to Ochsenkopf, halfway up turn left into Niedertal. On a wide path past the chapel and the shepherd's hut on a moderately ascending path to the Martin Busch hut. From there, a steep ascent towards Kreuzspitze. The lake lies on a high plateau about 300 m to the left of the path. Wonderful panorama.
