Boxer "Tarzan"

Highlight • Monument

In 1948, Cyriel Delannoit became European Champion for the first time. Exactly fifty years after this glorious victory, the Province of East Flanders erected a statue in his honor at the then main entrance of the De Gavers provincial estate in Geraardsbergen. The artwork was created by Jean-Pierre Coopman, another renowned Belgian boxer.

Wall of Geraardsbergen

Highlight • Climb

The Muur-Kapelmuur, the Wall of Geraardsbergen, or The Muur. Anyone who hasn't heard of this cycling monument isn't a cycling enthusiast. Period. This cobblestone road on the Oudenbenberg was the defining moment of the Tour of Flanders for years.

Over a kilometer long, with short sections approaching 20%, the climb is beautiful, but it's mainly the cobblestones, the aesthetics, and the magnificent chapel at the top that make this climb a monument for the Flemish. The cobblestones are laid horizontally, creating a jagged staircase that can only be survived at high speed. Anyone who stalls will suffer the consequences.

The orientation table indicates the altitude, 110 meters above sea level, and locates the surrounding villages. From the column, which originates from the oldest city wall, we have a panoramic view of the region.

De Marbol - Geraardsbergen

Highlight • Monument

The Marbol, a distortion of Marktborre, is already mentioned in the oldest known city account 1392-1393. The city fountain is the only one of its kind and the oldest in the province of East Flanders and its surroundings. The current fountain is a faithful copy in Balegem sandstone of the original that now stands in an outdoor garden of the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwehospital in the Gasthuisstraat. The clear water originally welled up from underground sources under the Oudenberg, a very special water supply for a city fountain.
