Rubihorn Gipfel

From the top of the Rubihorn you have a fantastic view of the mountain chain to the Nebelhorn, the Gaisalpsee, Oberstdorf and the snowy peaks of the Allgäu and Tyrol.

Magnificent view of Oberstdorf!

In the season there is a lot of hiking here - not for people looking for mountain solitude!

On July 9, 1987, a rock fall occurred on the north side of the Rubihorn, in which between 10,000 and 15,000 m³ of rubble fell into the valley. The traces of this event can still be seen from afar.

Wonderful view of Oberstdorf and the Ifen.

I'm really free from giddiness, but here I am at my limits, careful with children and dogs.

Strenuous but rewarding rise

The ascent to the Rubihorn is a worthwhile thing. And to all who are not experienced alpinists - I am your man. :-) Because I'm not, actually I'm pretty untrained and yet I dared the trip to the Rubihorn. And yes, it's exhausting and yes, it's high (if you do not know it and you're used to it). But hey, I did it, and if I can do it, everyone can do it. :-) However, it should really be free of heights, because the last section is actually associated with some climbing. In addition to one and z.T. behind one goes down accordingly. However, no separate equipment is required. The descent has it again in itself. My thighs were celebrating a party when we were back down. :-)

Unfortunately very busy

We ascended over the Gaisalpsee on June 1st, 2020. In itself it is a very nice tour, but it was full because of Pentecost + good weather. Not full, but abnormally full, so that we really had to worry about falling rocks and had to queue up or overtake in many places. If you do this tour, it is best to choose a day during the week.
BTW: If the parking lots are full, you shouldn't park on the street. The cars were given parking tickets there in rows.

Fortunately, there is the Deinenkopf and other promising mountains nearby. I now only visit the Rubihorn outside of the holidays or on a free day during the week or now in winter under "difficult" conditions :) (Status: 12/2020)

Is the hike possible for children and dogs?

Mountain experienced children on the rope possible, dogs not recommended, unless they fit in the backpack ......

View from the Rubihorn is priceless

Slightly more crowded than the neighboring Gaisalphorn, but easier to reach. Nevertheless, good footwear, sure-footedness and a little head for heights are required.

Magnificent panoramic view, overlooking the next challenge, the foghorn ;-)

360 degree view of the Allgäu Alps and the Allgäu foothills

We are on the only sunny day of our weekly vacation to the Rubihorn vestments. It was apparently rubi weather. Unfortunately totally overflowing. You had to queue to get up
