The village of Kwaremont is located in the Belgian province of East Flanders in the Flemish Ardennes. The village owes its fame to the cobblestone-paved hill “Oude Kwaremont”.

During the Tour of Flanders, the Oude Kwaremont has been the executioner of the race for several years. In some editions this tough hill is even climbed three times. It is not the height or length that make the Oude Kwaremont one of the most difficult hills of the “Ronde”, but the cobblestones and the gradients. The steepest part is ten percent. Before the Oude Kwaremont was rediscovered in 1974, the Kwaremont was an important hill in the race. However, this hill was paved and has since no longer been part of the Tour of Flanders. In other Flemish day classics such as the Omloop van het Volk, the E3 Prize, Dwars door Vlaanderen and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, the Oude Kwaremont has been part of the course.

During the Tour of Flanders, the village of Kwaremont turns into a large party tent. Hundreds of meters of party tents are being built along the course, while dozens of chip and hamburger stalls can be found elsewhere in the village. The first weekend of April is not the best time to visit Kwaremont if you come for the village.

Due to its mythical status, the village is flooded all year round by cycling tourists who want to conquer the Oude Kwaremont themselves. When they are not struggling to get to the top, they are sitting on one of the terraces in the village.
