The "Hefeler Berg" was once a popular climb. In the early 2010s, amateur mountain time trials were still organised here. There is also said to have been a cycling race here in the 1980s. After conquering the climb several times, however, the legend of this route is definitely not its difficulty. With a gradient of mostly 6％ and a maximum of 7.5％, this is still one of the easier climbs in the region. The climb is more interesting due to its location. It leads mainly through dense forest. A prominent hairpin bend marks the transition to the second section of the route, which ultimately leads through residential areas to Moltkeplatz. So you quickly make your way from the countryside into the city. If you then imagine the crowds of people at the side of the road, you can imagine what this climb was like back then. But it is still fun today, especially in the evening hours when there is very little traffic.
Der "Hefeler Berg" war einst ein beliebter Anstieg. Anfang der 2010er wurden hier noch Bergzeitfahren im Amateurbereich organisiert. In den 80er-Jahren soll es hier auch mal ein Radrennen gegeben haben. Nach mehrmaligem Bezwingen des Anstiegs besteht der Mythos dieser Strecke aber definitiv nicht in der Härte. Bei meist 6％ Steigung und maximal 7,5％ ist dies noch einer der leichteren Anstiege der Region. Interessant wird der Anstieg eher durch seine Lage. Er führt überwiegend durch dichten Wald. Eine markante Kehre markiert den Übergang in den zweiten Streckenabschnitt, der letztlich durch Siedlungsgebiet hin zum Moltkeplatz führt. Man gelangt also zügig von der Natur hinein in die Stadt. Stellt man sich dann die Menschenscharen am Straßenrand vor, kann man sich vorstellen was diesen Anstieg damals ausgemacht hat. Er macht aber auch heute noch Laune, insbesondere in den Abendstunden kann man ihn bei recht wenig Verkehr befahren.
