Great circular route from Oberstdorf, motorhome parking space, past the ski jumps, up to the Gaisalpe with a stop and over the waterfalls. Back at the waterfalls, sure-footedness is a must as you have to climb over rocks in places, but everything is doable if you go carefully 🙋‍♂️

Nice relaxed round on the Wallrafweg to Oberstdorf and in the valley back to Reichenbach.

It was approx. 411 meters in altitude with a pure running time of approx. 2:47 hours.

The hike starts at 8 a.m. Through the village to the ski stadium and then uphill to the Breitenberg. Continue along the Wallrafweg to the Gaisalp chapel.
Through the Gaisalptobel down to Reichenbach. From there on the hiking trail to Rubi and on to Oberstdorf, to the end point Restaurant Bergblick. Refill calories used in the beer garden 😋🤗

Taking advantage of the beautiful winter weather, today we went from Reichenbach through the Gaisalptobel and over the snowy and untracked Wallraffweg to Oberstdorf. The route then led back via Rubi to Reichenbach via the valley path. A great tour with great wintery impressions and fantastic views. 🏔️🥾❄️☀️👌🙂

My friend Markus had a new pair of hiking boots on his to-do list, so we quickly drove to the Allgäu region. After trying on the shoes and receiving excellent advice, we bought them, so there was nothing to stop us from breaking them in. We started in Oberstdorf at the bus station and headed towards the ice stadium/ski jump. …

From Reichenbach via Gaisalptobel (closed in winter, but almost completely free of snow and ice today) to the (closed) Gaisalpe and the lower Richteralpe with a beautiful view of the Illertal, the Entschenkopf and the Rubihorn. Then over the Wallraffweg with great views to Oberstdorf. Back via Rubi via Wiesenweg to Reichenbach.
