Mont Noir (West)

Highlight • Summit

To get to the Zwarteberg, make a short detour over the Belgian-French border. Although the mountain is beyond the border, it has been part of the Gent-Wevelgem route several times. The name Zwarteberg, Mont Noir or Black Mountain comes from the black pine forests that surround it.
