The effort was worth it. There is a peaceful silence up here, an ideal place to rest and enjoy. From here you can continue up to the Rubi summit 🏔

View of the Lower Gaisalpsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Lower Gaisalpsee is a high mountain lake at an altitude of 1,508 meters in the Allgäu Alps, northeast below the Rubihorn. The three and a half hectare lake drains through the Gaisalpbach to the Iller.
The lake is on the hiking trail from Reichenbach to Nebelhorn over the Gaisalpe, Lower and Upper Gaisalpsee, Gaisfußsattel, Großer Gund and Edmund-Probst-Haus.

Rubihorn Summit

Highlight • Summit

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.
