The Koppenberg is one of the most beautiful pieces of nature in the Flemish Ardennes. But many cycling enthusiasts from all over the world know the Melden bump as the Koppenberg, while they actually mean the Rotelenberg. After all, the road over the hill has two names. From Melden the road first goes up over the Rotelenberg and then descends again along the Koppenberg. The cobblestone slope actually climbs the Rotelenberg.
This landmark in the Flemish Ardennes is 78 meters high and has a gradient of 22% at the steepest point. The cobblestone strip is 600 meters long.

Super cool walk, our Sita (Ridgeback) was also present and enjoyed it very much! Now she is exhausted and satisfied in front of the fireplace!

Hiking

an icon of the Tour of Flanders. Steep even on foot ;-)
The view of the Flemish Ardennes from above is worth it. The way downhill is via the many hiking trails in the forest.
