The Venusberg is a witness hill in Meldert, a sub-municipality of Lummen (Limburg), which lies in the northern part of the Demer valley and is an offshoot of the Hageland, where sunken roads and hills dominate the landscape. This hill, which consists of two peaks, rises about 52.5 m above sea level and 30 m above the nearby Zwarte Beek valley and was created as a sandbank of the Diestiaanzee that retreated about 7 million years ago.
----------
for the e-bikers: short but tough climb to the top of this hill.

At the top of this hill you will find the small-scale farm of farmer Peter where pasture pigs are bred according to the old Flemish tradition. These rustic pigs grow up in the open air, which is almost impossible to find in this era of industrial agriculture.
