Are there hilly areas of Leuven, Belgium? - Picturesque scenery of rope way cable against contemporary city situated on vast hilly valley on clear day

I am looking for hilly areas in Leuven (with small hills). Google shows Gasthuisberg, but I hope and believe there are more, as I see hilly terrains from Google maps. Can somebody who has been in this region provide more?



Best Answer

There are none. The highest point of the province Vlaams-Brabant, of which Leuven is the capital, is a mere 142 meters high. And even that one is not exactly close to Leuven. You simply don't have the elevation to squeeze in any significant slopes or mountains.
