Although the Goldberg is Hagen's local mountain, conquering the Kaiser-Friedrich-Turm further to the west at an altitude of almost 400 metres is the real challenge in the central city area. You can also start the climb from Eugen-Richter-Straße and save yourself the first few steep metres, but in any case the start is a foretaste of the rest.

Although the Goldberg is Hagen's local mountain, conquering the Kaiser-Friedrich-Turm further to the west at an altitude of almost 400 metres is the real challenge in the central city area. You can also start the climb from Eugen-Richter-Straße and save yourself the first few steep metres, but in any case the start is a foretaste of the rest. You have to make it to the entrance to the forest first, then there is some time to catch your breath. The second part is incredibly demanding and challenging with 10-12％ throughout. You have to keep at it until it gradually flattens out shortly after the junction to the Deerth Clinic. The route runs mainly through dense forest, with only a few views out, and the surface is quite battered in places. There is a restaurant at the top and you can visit the tower to reward yourself with a view over Hagen.

Zwar ist der Goldberg der Hagener Hausberg, die Bezwingung des weiter westlich gelegenen Kaiser-Friedrich-Turms auf fast 400 Höhenmetern ist jedoch die eigentliche Herausforderung im zentralen Stadtgebiet. Man kann den Anstieg auch von der Eugen-Richter-Straße aus nehmen und spart sich die ersten steilen Meter im ggf. dichteren Verkehr, auf jeden Fall ist der Start aber ein Vorgeschmack auf den Rest. Bis zum Eingang in den Wald muss man es erstmal schaffen, dann bleibt etwas Zeit zum Verschnaufen. Der zweite Teil ist mit durchgehend 10-12％ unheimlich anspruchvoll und fordernd. Hier gilt es zu beißen, bis es kurz hinter dem Abzweig zur Klinik Deerth allmählich flacher wird. Es geht überwiegend durch dichten Wald, nur wenige Blicke führen hinaus, der Belag ist teils ordentlich angeschlagen. Oben gibts eine Gaststätte, den Turm kann man besichtigen, um sich mit einem Ausblick über Hagen zu belohnen.
