With a group from or to Geraardsbergen
Geraardsbergen lies on the river Dender, on the edge of the Flemish Ardennes, and for many it is the town of the Muur: the cobbled climb to the top of the Oudenberg, 110 metres high. At the top stands the Oudenberg chapel, and from there you can see far across the region.
With a guide you hear how people were already climbing up to pray in the chapel long before the first cyclist tried his luck there. Down in the town, the mattentaart is waiting. And on the second-to-last Sunday before the first Monday of March, so at the end of February, the town celebrates the end of winter with Krakelingen and Tonnekensbrand: a procession to the top of the Oudenberg, the throwing of the krakelingen, and the fire in the evening.

Getting on and arrangements in Geraardsbergen
A coach does not drive up the Muur: the group walks up, for example from the Markt through the Grupello park. Agree with the driver where he drops the group off and where he picks them up again after the walk. If you are bringing older participants, ask Visit Geraardsbergen which way up suits them best.
