A very discreet but magnificent cobbled street! Cars can't get in. However, the gradient is much steeper than the profile shows (around 16 percent max). The false flat at the top is terribly hard. Not to be done in autumn because of the branches, leaves and damp.... read more

Rue pavée très discrète mais magnifique ! Les voitures ne peuvent pas venir. Par contre la pente est beaucoup plus raide que ce que le profil montre ( environs 16 pourcents max). Le faux plat au sommet est terriblement dur. À ne pas faire en automne à cause des branches, des feuilles et de l'humidité.

Beautiful cobbled climb in a hollow road with no car traffic over repaved cobblestones. The final of the Brussels Hill Climb challenge took place here in 2024.

Prachtige kasseiklim in een holle weg zonder autoverkeer over heraangelegde kasseien. Hier vond in 2024 de finale plaats van de Brussels Hill Climb challenge.

A fairly well-hidden cobbled ascent that is difficult to spot and is largely a "sunken path". The cobbles are fine up to the junction with rue Stroobants, where the gradient increases significantly and the cobbles become quite bad. Not to mention the various branches that can litter the route in bad weather (or afterwards). But you've barely got time to be bothered before you're already at the top.

Montée pavée assez bien cachée, difficile à repérer, en grande partie en « chemin creux ». Les pavés sont corrects jusqu'à la bifurcation avec l'avenue Stroobants, où la pente augmente brusquement et les pavés deviennent assez mauvais. Sans parler des divers branchages qui peuvent parsemer le parcours par mauvais temps (ou après). Mais on a à peine le temps d'être incommodé qu'on est déjà au sommet.
