Congoberg is a climb in the Pajottenland region. The climb is 1.2 km long and covers 59 m of elevation gain with an average gradient of 4.9%, resulting in a difficulty rating of 34. The summit is 95 m above sea level.

Nice climb that can be divided into three parts: a steeper beginning, an easier middle section and steeper again towards the end.

A short, fast gravel section, no problem for cyclists. The traffic along the Dender River and the puddles on the gravel do make passing and overtaking a bit more challenging.

It's said that a man once passed through Pamel who was so tall and heavy that he defied the boundaries of the ordinary. Victor De Klerck, almost two meters tall and weighing, according to some, up to three hundred kilos, early on became a figure whispered about rather than spoken. On hot summer days, he would slide into the Dender River, and anyone who saw him swore he floated as if the river itself carried him. Passing boatmen carried the story along, and with every bend in the towpath, it became a little more fantastical. On Sundays, he appeared in church, where he needed three chairs—a figure that, generations later, still whispers through the village. And yet, despite his mythical stature, he stubbornly refused every circus director who wanted to exhibit him. As if he knew that some riddles are not meant for the public. Today, his statue stands by the Dender, not as certainty but as a question mark. A quiet reminder that sometimes, only one river flows between fact and fiction.

The official climb begins on a concrete and rather flat surface. Suddenly, the forest appears, interspersed with cobblestones; that's where the real climb begins.

Once an icon in the Tour of Flanders, today an icon in the Omloop het Nieuwsblad.

Tucked away in a meander of the Scheldt River, the village welcomes thousands of hikers, cyclists, and bon vivants every year. The Gothic St. Gertrude's Church, visible from the Scheldt banks, towers over the landscape and is an iconic sight. It's open to the public every Sunday in July and August. Did you know that Vlassenbroek is also a uniquely creative village? This artists' village has a magnetic pull on anyone who loves art and beauty. In these narrow streets, you'll discover a rich collection of works by sculptors and painters. The picturesque surroundings must have something to do with it. It's the perfect place to get lost.

Scenic towpath along the meandering Dender River. The towpath is narrower than other towpaths, which can lead to precarious situations on weekends between pedestrians, runners, recreational cyclists, and athletic cyclists.
