Tourism and activities

The gîte "entre les deux monts" is situated at an equal distance from two hills of the Scheldt plain : 

    - Mont Saint Aubert (147 m) 

    - the Mont de l'Enclus (141 m)

In addition to a breathtaking view of Tournai, Mont Saint-Aubert offers many hiking and cycling trails. Lovers of steep slopes and enthusiasts of steep paths, the summit of the Pays des Collines: Mont de l'Enclus and the surrounding hills invite you to take a walk. A breathtaking view of the Scheldt plain awaits you. Straddling Flanders and Wallonia, you will take a series of roads, dirt tracks and forest paths that will lead you to the ridge. Along the way, don't hesitate to stop at one of the many café-restaurants or at the Maison des Randonneurs... other hiking ideas await you!
