I recommend the climb to Hallgarter Zange, because unlike most climbs in the area, there is very little traffic here. The disadvantage: you have to ride back down the same way... The lower section is easy to roll into, with pleasant gradients, very good tarmac and an avenue of fruit trees leading to Hallgarten. At the same time, the destination is already in sight and you can already make out the tower at the top of the ridge.

I recommend the climb to Hallgarter Zange, because unlike most climbs in the area, there is very little traffic here. The disadvantage: you have to ride back down the same way...
The lower section is easy to roll into, with pleasant gradients, very good tarmac and an avenue of fruit trees leading to Hallgarten. At the same time, the destination is already in sight and you can already make out the tower at the top of the ridge. It gets crisp in Hallgarten, flattens out slightly behind the village but remains solid at 8-12％.
After the Rebhang settlement, the road surface deteriorates significantly, but there is virtually no traffic. The road remains steep, with a few smaller ramps that take a lot of energy.
The climb officially ends at the Kreistanne car park. I highly recommend the short further ascent (on an even worse path) to the Hallgarter Zange itself: beautiful estate, great views and nice hospitality - a good place to regain your strength!

Ich empfehle den Anstieg zur Hallgarter Zange, denn anders als bei den meisten Anstiegen in der Gegend herrscht hier nur wenig Verkehr. Der Nachteil: man muss denselben Weg wieder herunterfahren...
Im unteren Teil kann man sich gut einrollen, angenehme Steigungen, sehr guter Asphalt und eine Allee mit Obstbäumen führen nach Hallgarten. Gleichzeitig hat man das Ziel schon vor Augen und kann den Turm oben auf dem Kamm schon ausmachen. Knackig wird es in Hallgarten, flacht hinter dem Ort zwar leicht ab aber bleibt solide bei 8-12％.
Hinter der Siedlung Rebhang wird der Straßenbelag deutlich schlechter, aber dafür hat man nahezu keinen Verkehr mehr. Es bleibt unverändert steil, mit ein paar kleineren Rampen, die ordentlich Körner ziehen.
Der Anstieg ist offiziell am Parkplatz "Kreistanne" zuende. Ich empfehle unbedingt den kurzen weiteren Anstieg (auf noch schlechterem Weg) zur Hallgarter Zange selbst: wunderschönes Anwesen, toller Blick und nette Bewirtung - hier kann man gut wieder zu Kräften kommen!
