The Rugghubel is a hill above Engelberg ( Canton Obwalden ) at 2296  m above sea level. M. in the Urner Alps .

location

The Rugghubel is located in a mountain basin five kilometers northeast of Engelberg. The basin is open to the southwest and drops over steep field slopes to the so-called end of the world . The rim of the basin is formed by 2,500 to 2,800 m high mountain ranges; among them Gemsispil , Wissigstock , Engelberger Rotstock , Ruchstock , Laucherenstock and Grosser Sättelistock .

Access, walks and tours

On the Brunni , paths lead to Alp Rigidal from both the Ristis cable car station and the Brunnihütte . From there, a path leads above the precipices above the end of the world to Alp Planggen and from there on to the Rugghubel. The difference in altitude from Ristis is a little less than 700 m; the travel time is given as 2½ hours. In winter, the path above the end of the world is usually not accessible.

A more demanding hike leads over the Rotgrätli in a wide arc through the Schöntal and over the Bannalper Schonegg to the Oberrickenbacher Bannalp. This path from the Bannalp is the main access to the Rugghubel in winter.

An equally demanding hike follows the same path to Rotgrätli, but then turns right, up to the ridge to Wissigstock.

High alpine mountain tours lead to the Schlittchuechen , the Walenstock , the Wissberg , the Hahnen and the Uri Rotstock . Ascent and descent from Wissigstock, Leist, Ruchstock, Brunnistock , Uri Rotstock are possible on skis .

Slightly to the southwest below is the Rugghubelhütte ( 2290  m above sea level ) of the SAC section Titlis as a destination or intermediate station for hikes and high mountain tours.

Worth seeing
