As the paths along this route are often very steep and narrow, and require in some places at least sure-footedness, they are best left to the more experienced. However, those who would like to visit the lovely Gaisalpsee, and avoid the exposed stretch around the Rubihorn, could do so by starting out in Reichenbach (north of Oberstdorf) and then following the Tobelweg to Gais Alpe. From there continue on the track up to the Gaisalpsee. Return the same way.



The Nebelhorn cable railway is taken as far as Vordere See Alpe (1274m), the first stop, thus saving 1hr uphill walking. From here first walk a short distance downhill, then follow the sign ‘Rubihorn’ in a northwesterly direction through pastureland towards the Roßbichl (1466m). The path now curves its way sharply uphill, offering little shade on the way, to the narrow Niedereck Saddle between the Gaisalphorn on the right and the Rubihorn on the left. From here a narrow trail, with wire ropes securing exposed sections, passes the route down to Gaisalpsee on its way to the Rubihorn summit.
