At 156 meters, the Kemmelberg is the highest point in West Flanders and also the highlight of Gent-Wevelgem. The route is always controversial, as the way down the north side has often led to heavy falls. No wonder with a 20% gradient on difficult terrain. Meanwhile, the road surface has been renewed, which makes the descent a bit safer.

At the top of the Kemmelberg, "Den Engel" of the "Monument aux Soldats français" looks sadly over the mass grave and the battlefield.
