Ready to go? Let's get started from the Explorer Hotel Oberstdorf!
From here, follow the path along the Breitach and speed past the source of the Iller River towards Rubi. The meadow path is easy to follow until you reach Reichenbach, but from here on, things get more exciting: past the parking lot, you follow the forest road for a short while, but then you take a sharp turn – onto the Tobelweg. Now comes the exciting part! You leave the road and fight your way steeply up through the Gaisbachtobel ravine. 🔥
Shortly before the Untere Richteralpe, you cross the forest road again and continue along a meadow path. The final climb to the Gaisalp Loop presents another challenge. This is where things get tough again: narrower, steeper, rockier – and with rope protection! But don't worry, the spectacular Gaisalpsee is already waiting for you, nestled beneath the Rubihorn. Perfect for a short breather, and this unique view from Gaisalpsee truly makes every effort worthwhile! 🏞️
On the way back, you'll enjoy a leisurely and relaxed descent to the Richteralpe, then a leisurely stroll along the forest road, past the Gaisalp Chapel, and then you'll return to the Explorer Hotel Oberstdorf. Adventure? Check it out!
