THE MUUR VAN GERAARDSBERGEN - ‘THE WALL SHALL CHOOSE THE WINNER’

The inhabitants of the town of Geraardsbergen had an old expression: There are three great walls in the world, The Wall of China, the Berlin Wall and our Wall!' The Muur is one of the most famous and renowned climbs in Europe and a must-do bucket list challenge for every avid and passionate cyclist. It is legendary because it is one of the most challenging climbs, not for its length but for the steepness of the gradient and ruggedness of the cobbles, especially near the top, where it becomes brutal.
