This time of year there is already a lot in bloom. Beautiful flowers, garlic tie and so much more. If you are walking in the woods with your dog, just make sure he is on a leash because you can be fined for that. And honestly, with the animals out there now, their newborn cubs, it's not justified either. Furthermore, sturdy shoes and above all enjoy and look closely, because behind every tree there is something

Oudebergstraat Steps

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The stairs on Oudebergstraat lead you to the top of the Oudeberg, also known as the Wall of Geraardsbergen.

At the top, you'll have a beautiful view of the surrounding area, and on the Wall site, you can visit the chapel that serves as a place of pilgrimage.

Muur van Geraardsbergen

Highlight (Segment) • 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.

Oudenberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

The estate dates from 1860 and is located on top of the Oudeberg, next to the famous Wall of Geraardsbergen. The Orangerie Les Roses is one of three locations on the estate, together with the castle and a 4-hectare park. It can accommodate up to 175 people and has three rooms. The origins of the Oudenberg castle can probably be traced back to a small homestead with adjacent stables and owned by linen merchant, and later banker, Jean-François Spitaels
