Hiking

The hill is a living testimony to how Flanders once looked some 3.5 to 11 million years ago: a large sea. The sand that was deposited then changed over time through weathering into hard iron sandstone. In places where the soil was softer, such as in the valleys, the iron sandstone weathered or eroded. That is why the Bolderberg now stands beautifully between the valleys of the Laambeek and the Bolderbergbeek, some 20 metres above the surroundings.
