The Voortberg is a Hageland witness hill about 50 meters high on the banks of the Demer. On old maps, the hill is almost always referred to as "Wijngaardberg". An apt name when you consider that the southern flank was covered with vines.
Today, the Voortberg is marked in the landscape by a high transmission tower for TV distribution.

It is worth making the short climb up to the radio mast on the top of the Voortberg and stopping there for a while. In good weather you have a beautiful view.

Quite a calf biter but always pleasantly surprised by the beautiful views. The environment is also quite difficult. The village and natural nature reserve Demerbroeken.

Just before the department you will be surprised with a photogenic view of the valley and the picturesque Testelt.
