The start of the climb isn't particularly exciting. Then the mountain comes into view, with its forest and fields. This big grove is impressive. What's more, it starts to climb harder at the Col de Berthen.
The forest and its more serious 500 metres. The massive abbey, the even more gigantic antenna!
Gentle, peaceful Flanders landscapes.
The road is good. Not too much traffic.

Le début de l’ascension n’est pas folichon. Puis, se dévoile le mont, sa forêt et les champs. Ce gros bosquet en impose. De plus, ça se met à grimper plus fort au niveau du col de Berthen.
La forêt et ses 500 mètres plus sérieux. L’abbaye massive, l’antenne encore plus gigantesque !
Des paysages de Flandres, doux et apaisés.
La route est bonne. Pas trop de circulation.

The Katsberg, in French Mont des Cats, together with the nearby town of Cassel is a must go in this beautiful region of French Flanders (France) near the Belgian-French border. It can be climbed from several sides with sometimes quite tough and steep parts, the road surface is asphalted and easy to drive on. You can easily spend a day there, it's also possible to do some nice hikes, it's also part of the Elfbergen hike from Westouter, a tough cross-border climbing hike of 50 km which doesn't only include the Katsberg but also the Kokereelberg, the Zwarteberg and the Rodeberg, already done several times and in addition to cycling on and around the Katsberg it's a real must. At the top of the Katsberg is an abbey from which you get very nice views and they also sell the same trappist and cheese are very tasty, after all that cycling or hiking a welcome refreshment. The Katsberg can be seen from far away with its enormous 200 m high broadcasting mast, a beacon in the landscape.

De Katsberg, in het Frans Mont des Cats, is samen met het nabijgelegen stadje Cassel een must go in deze prachtige regio van Frans-Vlaanderen (Frankrijk) dichtbij de Belgisch-Franse grens. Via meerdere zijden te beklimmen met soms behoorlijk pittige en steile stukjes, het wegdek is geasfalteerd en goed berijdbaar. Je kunt er gerust een dag voor uittrekken, men kan er ook schitterende wandelingen doen, maakt trouwens deel uit van de Elfbergen wandeltocht vanuit Westouter, een pittige grensoverschrijdende klimwandeltocht van 50 km die niet enkel de Katsberg maar ook de Kokereelberg, de Zwarteberg en de Rodeberg aandoet, reeds meerdere keren gedaan en naast het fietsen op en rond de Katsberg een echte aanrader. Op de top van de Katsberg staat een abdij van waar je heel mooie vergezichten bekomt en men verkoopt er ook de gelijknamige trappist en paterskaas die heel lekker zijn, na al dat fietsen of wandelen een welgekomen verfrissing. De Katsberg is trouwens al van ver te zien met zijn enorme 200 m hoge zendmast, een baken in het landschap.

Klim begint heel zachtjes; tot je linksaf draait en net voorbij het bord Col de Berghen (109m) bent. Dan volgt een pittig stuk van >10％ tot aan de abdij. Mooie uitzichten!

Da Katsberg is a nice climb on all sides. This side, however, has a bit of 10% which can be felt in the legs ... The Katsberg is indeed situated in France, not in the hilly country of West-Flanders.

Da Katsberg is een leuke klimmetje langs alle kanten. Deze zijde heeft echter een stukje van 10% wat zich laat voelen in de benen... De Katsberg ligt wel degelijk in Frankrijk, niet in het West-Vlaamse Heuvelland.
