Kwaremont is known by the real cycling fanatics. It has a rich cycling history because of its rough and steep hills like the “Oude Kwaremont”, the “Knokteberg” and
the “Patersberg”. These are the executioners the Flanders Classics like the Tour of Flanders, Omloop het Nieuwsblad, the E3-price Harelbeke,
Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, Straight through Flanders, …
The holiday house lays in the middle of the track of the Tour of Flanders, so each year - from the front door - you can see passing the race 5 times. Even more: almost all Flanders
Classics races pass in front of our cottage!
With a big variety of slopes, the region offers each and every cyclist a challenge. For those who do not like the climbing, a tour along the river Scheldt is a nice alternative.
Cycling maps and mountainbike routes are available for our guests.
Also at the tourist offices of Ronse and Oudenaarde
touristic maps are available.
Below a small selection of cycling- and MTB-routes and possibilities for renting bikes.
Interesting: we can foresee a separate, locked space to stall your bikes in the holiday house.
