One of the climbs in the Tour of Flanders. Not as steep as the Koppenberg or Paterberg but it's a lot longer. Because it's not as steep it's a good beginner if you are exploring the cobbled climbs in Flanders for the first time.
Distance: 2,2km
Average gradient: 4,2%
Max gradient: 11%

Kwaremont Square

Highlight • Settlement

Just after the steepest part of the Oude Kwaremont is Kwaremontplein, if you want to relax there are some typical Flemish cafes to regain your strength. Ideal location to follow the Tour of Flanders.

Kwaremont

Highlight • Settlement

Kwaremont is a charming artists' village on the slopes of the 111-meter-high Kwaremontberg. Since the 1940s, artists have been inspired by the village and the surrounding landscape. Today, you'll still find several galleries here. The whitewashed St. Amandus Church, with its neo-Baroque altar and 17th-century artwork, is also highly recommended. And if you're hungry, enjoy French-Belgian cuisine in a warm, welcoming atmosphere at restaurant 't Monument.

Viewpoint at the top of the Paterberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The feared Paterberg lives up to its reputation. Immediately when you turn up, you bounce over the cobblestones and if you look up, you see it getting steeper and steeper. Up to twenty percent. Fortunately, there is a gutter and the climb does not take too long, only 350 meters...

At the top, catch your breath on the bench and enjoy a fabulous view!
