Congoberg, Hill in Pajottegem, Flemish Brabant, Belgium

Congoberg is a low, broad hill in the Pajottenland, on the territory of Pajottegem in Flemish Brabant. Its slopes are covered with grass, trees and shrubs, and Belgian draft horses graze in the meadows. Just below the summit stands Koenraad Tinel's sculpture 'De ontvoering van Europa', showing Europa as an ancient Venus figure standing on the back of a running bull. An information board at the top explains the Belgian draft horse.

The Congoberg lies in the Pajottenland, in the municipality of Pajottegem (formerly Galmaarden), whose mining past shaped the hill's name. The western climb from Vollezele is listed in the Cotacol Encyclopedie of Belgium's thousand hardest climbs; the northern cobbled climb from Denderwindeke featured in the 2004 De Gordel route. On 30 September 2017 the one-off Memorial Walter Wauters cyclocross was held here for the Het Nieuwsblad journalist, a Vollezele native.

The hill displays a sculpture by Koenraad Tinel titled 'The Abduction of Europa', which shows a female figure positioned on a bull. This artwork has become part of how visitors experience and remember the landscape.

Two cycling routes reach the summit: a western path starting from Vollezele and a northern cobblestone route from Denderwindeke. Both routes are accessible for different starting points and visit preferences.

The name Congoberg recalls local miners who commuted to the Hainaut coal mines and came home unwashed, black as oelje, from the French houille, meaning coal. The municipality of Galmaarden has a strong mining past. The hill lies in Pajottenland, in the municipality of Pajottegem, Flemish Brabant.
