At 176 metres high, this is the highest point in the area. It is a former castle terrace and until 1788, the St. Peter's Church stood here, of which remains of the crypt are still present. The belvedere is also a viewpoint. The Roman highways that can be seen from here and that fan out in all directions are spectacular.

The panoramic terrace of the Château de Cassel offers a breathtaking view of the Flanders plain. You can see the mill, the monument of the Three Battles and the old crypt. All are emblematic places of the site. On the way back down the alpine ramp, a tavern awaits walkers for a friendly break.
