"The Wall of Geraardsbergen"—who doesn't know it? It's a true classic in Flemish cycling. This iconic climb was a popular event in the Tour of Flanders for many years. A stretch of about 1100 meters takes you to the summit of the Oudenberg, at an altitude of 110 meters. From here, you have a magnificent view of the region and the famous chapel.

O Wall, you proud stone back, with cobblestones crooked and steep and unyielding, where many a cyclist climbs with toil, and every step belies the will. You wind narrowly through green splendor, a climb that has brought heroes, where sweat and hope embrace, and legs tremble without shame. No mountain so low, no wall so high, as you that arched through the centuries, where Flanders cheers on every side, and wind embraces the cyclist's heart. You are not a road, you are a battle, a victory, painful and liberating, a test of courage, a torture, but also a song, a lifelong one. Whoever climbs you with firm understanding, feels fire and flame in heart and hand, for on your summit, so proud, so clear, proudly waits, year after year. O Wall, you are a living song, that sees through every cycling soul — an ode to the power of man and wheel, you are a wall, but also a soul.

Oudeberg Castle is situated on a beautiful four-hectare estate, perched atop the Oudeberg hill, just behind the Holy Chapel and bordering the iconic Wall of Geraardsbergen. Over the years, the estate has undergone remarkable evolution. Its current, almost fairytale-like appearance is the result of this long history. The castle's origins likely date back to a modest farmstead with accompanying stables, once owned by linen merchant and later banker Jean-François Spitaels. The characterful appearance of the castle as we know it today is largely the work of Felix Spitaels, who carried out extensive expansions between 1890 and 1895. In 1903-1904, thanks to notary Désiré De Clercq, the building took on an even more authentic castle-like appearance. Later, the estate came into the hands of the Blicken and Putseys families. Since 2003, it has been owned by Mr. Alain Corneille, who meticulously restored the property to its original grandeur.

The Chapel of Our Lady in Oudenberg is a neo-Baroque pilgrimage site from the early 20th century, built to replace a 17th-century predecessor. It houses a valuable wooden statue of the Virgin Mary and stands on a historic pilgrimage and storytelling site dating back to the 13th century. The location is also a popular attraction for both pilgrims and cycling enthusiasts.
