Located in the heart of the Flemish Ardennes, the Hoogberg stretches for 1.6 kilometers and takes you up 73 meters in elevation. With an average gradient of 4.6% and a maximum of 7.7%, the Hoogberg is not the steepest or most famous climb in the area, but it is steady and demanding. The road rises consistently through the trees before opening up onto a more exposed section near the top. Many riders find that the real challenge lies in maintaining rhythm on the long, gradual slopes rather than fighting extreme steepness. When the wind picks up on the ridge, the final part can feel especially tough. It’s a classic Flemish climb — honest, unrelenting, and a true test of endurance.
