geography
location
The Hallgarter Zange is located in the southwest of the Rhein-Taunus Nature Park . While its largest part is located in the Hallgarten district of the city of Oestrich-Winkel , its eastern flank falls into the municipality of Eltville am Rhein . Nearby towns are Hallgarten in the south-south-east, Kiedrich in the east-south-east and Stephanshausen in the west- south- west.
The spur of the Hallgarter Zange , which branches off from the Taunus main ridge running in a northeast-southwest direction, drops to the southeast along the Leimersbach, which rises southwest of its summit , in the Rheingau landscape interspersed with vineyards and the Hallgarten district of Oestrich-Winkel towards the nearby Rhine .
While the high areas of the Hallgarter Zange are entirely forested, there are vineyards in the lower area of their southeast flank .
Natural allocation
The Hallgarter Zange belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Taunus (No. 30) and in the main unit Hoher Taunus (301) to the natural area Rheingauebirge (301.1). The landscape drops to the southeast into the natural area Eberbacher Schuttfuß (301.10).
Development
Ringwall Hallgarter pliers
Almost 600 m east-northeast of the summit, on an approximately 525 m high secondary summit, are the weak remains of the Hallgarter Zange wall , which presumably served as a refuge for the Eberbach monastery, which is 2.3 km east-southeast .
Lookout tower and mountain inn
On the Hallgarter Zange stands the successor to a wooden observation tower built in 1884 by the Wiesbaden Taunus Club , which was 14 m high. The original structure was replaced between 1906 and 1909 by a 25 m high tower built by the Wandervogel movement and inaugurated on September 19, 1909. The view from the 16.6 m high viewing platform, which can only be reached with a lift, extends to the Großer Feldberg , Melibokus , Donnersberg and the skyline of Frankfurt am Main and Mainz . After a long time, the tower has been open again since July 2015. The spiral staircase attached to the side of the tower only serves as an escape route in an emergency.
Next to the observation tower is a mountain inn, which has been closed for several years and to which the highest beer garden in the Rheingau is attached. After the inn was closed for several years, it has been open again since July 2015.
Aviator memorial
About 100 m northwest of the mountain summit is the Hallgarter Zange aviator memorial , which commemorates the crash of a mail plane in 1935 and the death of the crew under pilot Franz Kneer .
Hallgarter Zange climbing park
A 1.3 hectare outdoor climbing park has been located in the vicinity of the observation tower and mountain inn since mid-July 2015 . It includes the observation tower through the north face of the climbing area . Its attractions include a zip line from which you can swing from the tower into the park, a base jump platform and the Hallgarter Zange holiday camp with overnight accommodation.
legend
The rock is related to a legend in which a blacksmith shod a horse for the devil and received a pair of tongs that turned everything into gold. It only brought him bad luck, so he threw himself off the rock and his body was found with the tongs that had lost its magic with his death.
Traffic and walking
The Hallgarter Zange is far away from main roads, but the district road 634, which branches on the Rhine at Oestrich-Winkel near Schloss Reichartshausen from the state road 3320 running to Hattenheim with a direct connection to the federal road 42 , leads up to Hallgarten and then as a vineyard road to the north this village located settlement Am Rebhang . From there a forest road runs up to the Kreistanne hiking car park ( liegenden ), which is about 565 m above sea level . You can then walk to Hallgarter Zange or Kalten Herberge on forest paths and paths ; Between the two elevations and past the forest parking lot there leads a piece of the right bank of the Rheinhöhenweg , which shares a section with the European long-distance hiking trail E3 .
