    Photo: Hartmut Wimmer, Outdooractive Premium
Untere Richteralpe is located at the foot of Rubihorn in the area Gaisalpgebiet and it is a popular reataurant for hikers on their way to Rubihorn, to Entschenkopf or to the mountain lake Gaisalpsee.
But as well for all those who do not plan a big tour, a visit of the alp is very worth it. The way up through the beautiful ravine Reichenbachtobel takes about 45 minutes. On the sunny terrace of Untere Richteralpe you get hearty snacks – and if the weather is not dry, the cozy dining room is open.

Untere Richteralpe is a member of the association of Allgäuer Alpgenuss e.V.
