Rubihorn Gipfel

From the summit of the Rubihorn you have a fantastic view of the Nebelhorn mountain range, the Gaisalpsee, Oberstdorf and the snow-covered peaks of the Allgäu and Tyrol.

indescribably beautiful feeling and insanely exciting vistas 🤩🗻🤩🗻

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

360 degree view of the Allgäu Alps and the Allgäu foothills

In good weather, a very nice view of Oberstdorf. If that's not enough for you, you can do a round tour over the Gaisalphorn and Gaisalpfuss from there.

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. :-)

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)

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.

View from the Rubihorn is priceless

Can't upload your selfies to your private family albums?
This is called a highlight because you would like to find out about highlights and special sights.
And selfies are neither highlights nor sights and certainly not highlights!
It sucks!
:-(

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

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

Strenuous but rewarding climb.

A head for heights from the lake is urgently required! Fear of heights can be dangerous up there. Paths are narrow, hands are needed to move them in places, strong insight. Safeguards on the sea side are sparse.

Busy on warm summer weekends. It is worth going here during the week, if the weather is a bit worse and quite early if you want a little more peace and quiet.

On the way there you are often alone and far away from the known crowds. It is a quiet summit where you can linger with a fantastic view.

It's an indescribably beautiful feeling. You have to experience that yourself. This beautiful view of the Allgäu Alps. And the ascent here had been a nice experience for me.

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

Very crowded in great weather. But you have a gigantic panorama after the tight climb

Richteralpe as a stopover is originally and very well suited as a stopover

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.

Was on August 25th, 2021 from Oberstdorf through thealtenbachtobel on the Rubihorn. Very nice climb. There were more hikers on the summit than in the pedestrian zone in Oberstdorf. After two minutes I got down again because I couldn't find a place. The summit was also in the fog, so that I also had no distant view.

Really was a great hike. So diverse - lake, mountains, forest ... I'll go there with my wife several times.

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

Bissle overflowed on this magnificent September 29, 2019 - but still magnificent panoramic view of a gigantic mountain world, look over to the next challenge, the foghorn ;-)

Unfortunately very busy
