BELGIUM ~ De Muur - Geraardsbergen ~

... Different views of the famous "Wall" or "De Muur" one of the most known roads for cyclists🚴 in the world... located in the center of Geraardsbergen... the climb is both a mixture of true cobblestones synonymous with Flanders, and the less treacherous paving "cobbles"... it's also a beautiful walk with great views on top of the Flemish landscape with a chapel and cafe... the information panels along the road give an impression of the mythical status that this hill has for cycling fanatics🚴...  Hééél Erg Bedankt Ben!ツ

The Wall of Geraardsbergen starts near the river Dender and reaches the top of the Oudenberg at 110 m, after 1,075m at an average gradient of just over 9% with a maximum gradient of 19.8%. 

Geraardsbergen is a city and municipality located in the Denderstreek and in the Flemish Ardennes, the hilly southern part of the Belgian province of East Flanders.
