De Hotond - Scherpenberg
The Hotond-Scherpenberg is located on the territory of Kluisbergen and Ronse. At 150 metres, the Hotond is the highest point in East Flanders. With a clear view you can see no less than 107 church towers from here! The Hotondmolen has been beautifully renovated. The result: a café, bistro and sports hotel with phenomenal views of the rolling countryside. It is a largely wooded witness hill whose shape betrays what the landscape used to look like.
Put on your hiking boots and climb to the highest point in East Flanders or walk through the green mosaic of the Scherpenberg.
