The best part is the cobbled section (they are not in the best shape). Before the cobbles you ride between buildings and after the cobbles you have a bit of stone road to overcome. Had a lot of cramps during this climb so I don't remember much about it :D

Mooiste stukje is de kasseistrook (liggen er niet al te best bij). Voor de kasseien rij je tussen de bebouwing en na de kasseien heb je nog een stukje steenweg te overwinnen. Had enorm veel last van krampen tijdens deze klim dus veel meer weet ik er verder niet meer van :D

Amusing cobbles with amusing gradients: not extremely bad cobbles, but not good ones either, not extremely steep, but not simple either. So don't underestimate it, but don't overestimate it either.

Ambetante kasseien met ambetante stijgingspercentages: niet extreem slechte kasseien, maar ook geen goede, niet extreem steil, maar ook niet simpel. Onderschat het dus niet, maar overschat het ook niet.

This one is a bit difficult in the middle over the cobbles. They are overgrown with grass, but they are okay to drive on. You have some trees here to protect you.

Deze is even moeilijk in het midden over de kasseien. Ze liggen er overgroeid met gras bij maar zijn oké om over te rijden. Je hebt hier beschutting door wat bomen.

This climb in the agglomeration of Ronse starts with low gradients on an asphalt road, with cars parked on both sides of the road, so if a car passes, there is not much room. After about 300m, the more difficult part starts on cobblestones, the gradients increase but you never reach very steep slopes.

Cette côte dans l'agglomération de Renaix commence par des faibles pourcentages sur une route asphaltée, avec des voitures garées des deux côtés de la route, donc si une voiture passe, il n'y a plus beaucoup de place. Après 300m environ, la partie plus difficile débute sur des pavés, les pourcentages augmentent mais on atteint jamais des pentes très raides.

Climb that starts from the center of Ronse.
First a good cadence on concrete slabs, then a good pace on the cobblestones.
The cobblestones are reasonable.
You arrive on top of the busy road of the actual Kruisberg.
This climb has been given several names: Old Kruisberg, New Kruisberg, Old Kruiskens, ...

Klim die begint vanuit het centrum in Ronse.
Eerst goede kadans op betonplaten, vervolgens dokkeren op de kassei.
De kasseien liggen er redelijk bij.
Je komt boven op de drukke steenweg van de eigenlijke Kruisberg.
Deze klim heeft al verscheidene namen gekregen: Oude Kruisberg, Nieuwe Kruisberg, Oude Kruiskens,...
