Tips from the Community
Nice climb that can be divided into three parts: a steeper beginning, an easier middle section and steeper again towards the end.

The official climb begins on a concrete and rather flat surface. Suddenly, the forest appears, interspersed with cobblestones; that's where the real climb begins.

The artwork "The Kidnapping of Europa" was installed on Congo Mountain in Vollezele in the summer of 2023. The artist, Koenraad Tinel, has lived in Vollezele for over 25 years and is an honorary citizen of Galmaarden. It is one of his largest artworks, 8 meters long and 9 meters tall. It weighs 2.5 tons and is made of bronze. It depicts Princess Europa sitting on a swimming bull. It is an artwork of hope. Koenraad Tinel continues to believe that a united Europe remains the best guarantee for peace and brotherhood. (VRTnws)

Congo Mountain is 100 meters high. If you leave Vollezele and head to the summit, you'll have to overcome a 62-meter elevation gain. (Wikipedia) The panoramic views along the way are magnificent.
