The Mont du Cassel, on which the beautiful little town of Cassel sits, is the highest point in French Flanders. It was strategically important in several wars. Nowadays you can enjoy the view of the surrounding landscape from up here and stop off in one of the cozy cafés in the old town.

2.5 kilometers and a gradient of up to 18 percent, that's what cyclists expect on the Catsberg. Once at the top you will find the abbey of the same name in which Trappist beer is brewed.

Mont Noir (West)

Highlight • Summit

To get to the Zwarteberg, make a short detour over the Belgian-French border. Although the mountain is beyond the border, it has been part of the Gent-Wevelgem route several times. The name Zwarteberg, Mont Noir or Black Mountain comes from the black pine forests that surround it.
