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.

Wonderful view of Oberstdorf!

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

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. :-)

In the season there is a lot of hiking here - not for people who are looking for the Bergeinsamkeit!

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.

Wonderful view of Oberstdorf and the Ifen.

Unfortunately very busy

Strenuous but rewarding rise

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 ;-)
