Nice climb that offers views at the start and then climbs briskly up into the forest. Fine asphalt along the entire length of the climb.

Very nice climb starting through the meadows and the last part a bit tougher through a nice wooded area. Will definitely come back again!

This approach to the Brandenberg is almost as beautiful as the variant with the Schrammstrasse. It hurts less in the beginning, because you will often have tailwind. You also have a different view, although there are more houses. Also look to the right; one of the houses is called Rivendell. Come on, the view and the surroundings are nice, but not that mythical.
