The 750-meter climb begins gently in the center of Ronse, with the upper section being the steepest and consisting of cobblestones. It was first included in the Tour of Flanders route in 1973. Since the route was redesigned in 2012, the Oude Kruisberg has been an integral part of the Tour. It is located approximately 26 kilometers from the finish in Oudenaarde, before the Oude Kwaremont and the Paterberg.

(from wiki) This regularly features in the spring classics, most notably the Tour of Flanders. The 1.000 m climb starts going gently uphill from the center of Ronse. The upper – and steepest – part of the climb has a roughly-paved cobbled surface, totaling 450 m of cobbles. After the cobbled section, the road continues on a 23 m elevation on a broad gently-sloped asphalt road to the top of the Hotond hill which overlooks the city.
