Wonderful 360° panoramic view, Alpine foothills, Nagelfluhkette, Hoher Ifen and Kleinwalsertal, Oberstdorf mountains, Sonnenköpfe and Grünten.
Can be reached from Weiherkopf via a wonderful ridge path.

July 22, 2023,Von der Hörnerbahn zum Riedberger Horn (und zurück)

Nice round, but also very exhausting. Especially the part between Ochsenkopf and Riedberger Horn. But we still really enjoyed the round. The views are absolutely gorgeous and unfortunately don't come across as great on the photos as they really are.

August 14, 2025,von der Bergstation Hörnerbahn zum Riedberger Horn und Großen Ochsenkopf

Hello everyone,
Today we cycled to the Hörnerbahn cable car near Bolsterlang (a total of 27 km there and back – I recorded it, but not publicly).
Nicole had chosen an easier hike from the mountain station – but it wasn't actually that easy.
At the junction to the Riedberger Horn, I decided to make a detour there, while Nicole …

May 1, 2025,Hörner(teil)runde: Riedberger Horn-Großer Ochsenkopf-Weiherkopf ab Grasgehren durch Bolgental und Bolgengrat

Horn tour started today from the 🅿️ Grasgehren ski lift (5 € day ticket). The ascent to the left over the ridge held a very special surprise for me. Always accompanied by the calls of the cuckoo and the mating calls of the capercaillie, I expressed the wish to finally see a capercaillie in the flesh. And no sooner had …

July 16, 2023,Riedberger Horn via Hörnerbahn

Uncertain weather and late - so we went spontaneously with the Hörnerbahn up and from there via the Berghaus Schwaben on the really beautiful ridge path to the Riedberger Horn and "around the back" back in a loop.

A fantastic ridge hike with fantastic views! A fantastic 360-degree view of the mountains from the Riedberger Horn! You'll definitely need to be sure-footed for this ridge hike.

The Hinteregg Alpe is the perfect place for a break.

June 12, 2023,Von der Hörnerbahn Bergstation zum Riedberger Horn

We started at the Hörnerbahn mountain station. I know part of the straight route as a winter hiking trail. Now in early summer, a nice round that requires good physical condition and coordination, at least in the terrain on the ridge. There were three places where you (I) could use your hands well. I think the uphill route was chosen …
