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.

Lower Gaisalp Lake

Highlight • Lake

Hard to reach, but not so crowded. Wonderful nature! The lake is naturally cold, but in summer you can already swim.

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.

Rubihorn Summit

Highlight • Summit

Very beautiful panoramic mountain with a view of the Illertal and the Allgäu Alps.
Ideally, you get up early, especially in the season, as it gets quite crowded up here. …

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.
