The Bolsterlanger Hörnerbahn (gondola-lift; www.hoernerbahn.de) takes you in less than 10min to an altitude of 1500m. At the top there is a magnificent view over the Iller Valley, and both the Großer Ochsenkopf and Riedberger Horn, the goals of this walk, are clearly visible to the west.

From the upper station of the two-stage gondola-lift an easy path leads to Schwaben Haus. Most walkers who want to climb the Riedberger Horn continue straight ahead from the hut. This is the easiest but least interesting route. It is much more interesting to turn right just before the hut and to climb steeply uphill towards the Großer Ochsenkopf. After gaining about 100m in altitude the path from the Weiherkopf is joined and followed left along the ridge (westwards) to the summit of the Ochsenkopf (1662m). Marked by a wooden cross, and covered by bilberry (blueberry) bushes, there are nevertheless enough grassy patches where you can recline and admire the views. To the north the Nagelfluhkette ridge (see Walk 1) is clearly visible.
