Hiking

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 Wall of Geraardsbergen"—who doesn't know it? It's a true classic in Flemish cycling. This iconic climb was a popular event in the Tour of Flanders for many years. A stretch of about 1100 meters takes you to the summit of the Oudenberg, at an altitude of 110 meters. From here, you have a magnificent view of the region and the famous chapel.

The Wall is a cobblestone road on the Oudenberg, the hill on which Geraardsbergen's town center is situated. In 1940, the Oudenberg was designated a protected landscape, and in 1995, the famous cobblestone road was declared a monument.
