View of the Rubihorn

Highlight • Viewpoint

A hike alone to the lake is worthwhile, because you can take a nice break at the hut by the lake or take a swimming break there in summer.

Descent from Rubihorn to the lower Gaisalpsee

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

For this section of the path you should be sure-footed and free from vertigo in the summit area. A few short, wire-rope insured passages are easy to manage.

Tip by

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.

Gaisalpbach Cascades

Highlight • Waterfall

The path along the Gaisalpbach stream through the Gaisalptobel ravine is constantly accompanied by rushing water. It's beautiful and wonderfully shady in summer.

July 21, 2021,🎒 Sonnenuntergang aufm Rubihorn

Immediately after work, I packed my backpack at the speed of light, put this and Emma in the car and off we went to the Allgäu to enjoy the sunset on the Rubihorn with a beer after work...
It's a pity that the days will soon be getting shorter again and such spontaneous summer tours will not be possible for …

July 8, 2024,Rubihorn - 1957 m 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶

From Reichenbach (day ticket 5.00 euros, payable in cash or with card) I was a little unfit on Friday after 2 vaccinations. Otherwise the tour was a highlight. Luckily we were able to go today before the big heat hits tomorrow. The view of the Gaisalpsee from above is great and when you climb you always have the Nebelhorn in …

May 1, 2025,Rubihorn 🇩🇪 1957 meter

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately, I had to cut short my long hike today, originally planned for Rubihorn, Gaisalphorn, and Nebelhorn. After throwing up this morning, it didn't get any better as the hike went on. I decided to abort at Rubihorn because I wasn't comfortable with the dizziness and nausea.

July 25, 2024,Über die Gaisalpe zum Rubihorn

Very nice mountain tour to the top of the Rubihorn, a great mountain with a view, an entertaining climb and an optional swim in the Gaisalpsee. As the tour is quite lively, an early start is highly recommended.
At the end, an isotonic hop cold drink tastes particularly good, as does a delicious Kaiserschmarrn, both served with the best view …

Golden sunrise 🧡🌄🏔️🍁with a dear friend 🤩..

We started at the Gaisalpe car park and from there we headed towards Rubihorn. The hiking trails were completely free of snow.

When we got to the top we had the summit all to ourselves which was just amazing 😁✌️& waited for the beautiful sunrise 🌄 which was breathtakingly beautiful 😍..

July 19, 2025,Genuss-Tour🤩 》übern Gaisalpsee, auf's Rubihorn 1957m

.......for us, today was an incredibly great tour in perfect mountain weather.
........but I feel just as incredibly sorry for at least 100 people who were still up there in the thunderstorm and heavy rain.
Because, as can happen in the mountains, the weather completely changed within half an hour.

October 29, 2023,Rubihorn von Reichenbach

Rubihorn always works
Very windy today, not to say stormy
On the way back we had the feeling there were a few buses 🚌 on the way
Otherwise it was easy to walk, just be aware, as always, of the risk of slipping in the wet areas

September 15, 2023,Allgäu - Rubrik „aus meiner Liste“ Rubihorn ab Reichenbach

I have no idea why I haven't been there yet - but now my wish has come true - climbing the Rubihorn. I really like this mountain and am pretty happy to have been to the summit.
The start was at the Gaisalpe parking lot in Oberstdorf / OT Reichenbach. Parking fee = €5 per day
