    Very beautiful panoramic mountain with a view of the Illertal and the Allgäu Alps.
    Ideally, you get up early, especially in the season, as it gets quite crowded up here.

    Mountaineering boots, sure-footedness and appropriate physical condition are prerequisites for this beautiful, but also demanding summit.

      The hike to the Rubihorn is well signposted and marked, but requires surefootedness and a head for heights, especially from Gaisalpsee, where the trail becomes increasingly steep and exposed in places. Some sections are secured with wire ropes.

        We recommend a rest and a dip in the cool water of the Gaisalp lake. It is best to start early, then it will be quieter and not yet as crowded.

          The way up is quite demanding and exhausting (definitely not for the faint of heart!), But the ascent is rewarded with a magnificent view of Oberstdorf and the Gaisalpsee.

            Great view
            When there are a lot of people, it gets a bit narrow at the summit.

              Great view and early in the morning also okay in terms of human dimensions.

                  Comparatively lower peak but offers great view. Due to the fact that it is small and can be reached comparatively easily, there are many people on the peak.

                    June 29, 2021

                    Amazing view over Oberstdorf and the Allgäu.

                      Great summit, I can only recommend it 👍 a great view of Oberstdorf when the weather is clear. Get there early as parking lots and the summit fill up quickly in peak season.

                          The 1,957 meter high Rubihorn towers between Fischen and Oberstdorf, 1,100 meters above these places. Due to its prominent location, it is visible from afar and is often visited; it is particularly busy on weekends when the weather is nice.

                            Very beautiful panoramic view, ideal as a challenging Akklimatisierungstour in a Oberstdorf hiking holiday.

                                On July 9, 1987, on the northern side of the Rubihorn, a rock fall took place in which between 10 000 and 15 000 m³ of scree went down to the valley. The traces of this event are still visible from afar.

                                    From the summit of the Rubihorn you have a magnificent view over almost all the villages and mountains of the Allgäu.

                                      Very nice summit, but sturdy shoes and sure-footedness are an absolute must.

                                            The view from peak is great. There is another peak nearby without cross and that offers bird eye view of the Rubihorn peak.

                                              August 7, 2023

                                              Great view of the Nebelhorn, Oberstdorf, the Entschenkopf and the upper and lower Gaisalpsee. Smaller summit without a summit cross directly behind the Rubihorn also offers decent seating directly on the rock.
