The observation point on the Geitenberg is a bird migration counting station. Every autumn, the Natuurpunt bird working group conducts counts at several traditional migration sites in the region. Under normal weather conditions, the posts are occupied every weekend in October. Counts generally begin at sunrise, and in good (bird of prey) migration weather, often continue until sunset. In favorable migration conditions, counts are also conducted outside weekends, from September to November. Source: natuurpunt.be

The summit of the slope lies between the Rodeberg and the Vidaigneberg. Near the summit stands the Lijstermolen (Listers Mill). A chairlift runs between the Baneberg and the Vidaigneberg, gliding over the saddle valley between the two "mountains" and the vineyards of the Entre-Deux-Monts, offering panoramic views of northern France and the Belgian coastal plain. The summit is 140 meters high. The name comes from the Bane family, who owned the mountain in the 13th and 14th centuries. The slope is also sometimes called Gildestraat (Gilde Street). https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baneberg

From the top of the Rodeberg you have a wide view over the rolling hills of the Westhoek, which are famous for their natural beauty and the war history that played an important role here.

The Kemmelberg, also known as the Kemmel for short, is a hill near the town of Kemmel in the municipality of Heuvelland (West Flanders province) in Belgium. The wooded mountain reaches a height of 154 m, making it the highest hill in the West Flanders province. It is part of a chain of Flemish mountains. There is an early Gothic tower near the top of the hill. The mountain gained particular importance as a strategic military point during the First World War. An obelisk on the western slope of the mountain marks the site of a burial site for French soldiers, and there is a war memorial on the summit itself. The hill and its surroundings are now a scenic and popular tourist destination. The cobblestone climb, which is up to 23% steep, is a highlight of the classic Gent–Wevelgem cycling route.

Historical information: About 2,500 years ago, a Celtic community belonging to the Hallstatt culture settled on the Kemmelberg. The Celts built a fortress and maintained a trading relationship with the Romans. During the First World War, the Kemmelberg was a strategic point and was heavily fought over by the warring parties. During the spring offensive of 1918, German troops under General Friedrich Bertram Sixt von Armin took possession of the Kemmelberg on April 25. The next day a French counterattack took place, but the German troops advanced as far as the Dikkebusvijver. On April 29, the German advance was halted and the fighting continued until the end of July 1918. On September 5, the Kemmelberg was recaptured by the Allied troops with the help of the Americans. After the fighting, the hill was bare and was replanted with deciduous tree species. Archaeological excavations were carried out from the 1960s onwards. On the western flank there is a French mass grave containing the remains of more than 5,000 French soldiers who died in the First World War. At the top is a memorial column, the Monument Aux Soldats Français, erected in 1932 and inaugurated by General Lacappelle. The column is 17 meters high and depicts the Roman goddess of victory Victoria. The monument is called "Monument Aux Soldats Francais" and is popularly called "The Angel". The column was originally 18 meters high, on top of the column was a laurel wreath with a French soldier's helmet on top, which disappeared after a lightning strike in the 1970s. On the southern edge is the Kemmel command bunker, a former Cold War command bunker of the Belgian army, which has been used as a war museum since the end of October 2009.
