Cycling enthusiasts all over the world know Melden's hump as the Koppenberg, when 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. So the cobbled slope actually climbs the Rotelenberg.
This landmark in the Flemish Ardennes is 78 meters high and has a gradient of 22% at its steepest point. The cobblestone strip is 600 meters long.
