This fairly challenging route starts at the parking lot in Reichenbach and leads along partly steep trails through the Allgäu Alps up to the Rubihorn, which rises to nearly 2,000 meters. As is always the case with hikes in alpine terrain, sturdy shoes and sure-footedness are essential here, especially near the summit. The ridge trail is secured with steel cables at several particularly challenging sections. With picturesque panoramic views, nature trails through secluded woodlands,...

This wonderful mountain hike begins south of Oberstdorf at the Nebelhornbahn parking lot (which charges a fee) and leads through the Allgäu High Alps Nature Reserve up to the Rubihorn.

There are places to stop for refreshments, and the route is accessible by bus and train (access to the starting point from the...

This adventurous loop starts in Reichenbach and leads visitors on a grand tour of four majestic peaks: the Entschenkopf, Geißfuß, Gaisalphorn, and Rubihorn.

Because the route involves narrow ridges and some light climbing sections with steel...

This route is a true Allgäu classic and leads from the valley up to the rugged summit of the Rubihorn 1,957m. Safety equipment, including a via ferrata set and a helmet, is required to safely tackle the steep, wire-roped sections on the Rubihorn. The route is officially classified as via ferrata B/C and offers technical passages where iron pins and steel cables provide support above exposed rock faces. On the ascent, you pass the idyllic Gaisalpsee, a crystal-clear mountain lake in a striking...

Park at the Nebelhorn - drive up one station - then take the path to the Rubihorn and continue towards Gaisalpsee. Halfway down then a forgotten path (not shown in most maps) towards Kleiner Gaisalpsee and then up to the second saddle. Crossed the den and headed towards Edmund-Probst-Haus. Then descent over the Seealpsee and the glide path to the Oytalhaus.
