A tough cobbled climb, but not impossible. It can be used to make the most difficult section of Brussels by arriving at the Kauwberg via the cobbled Geleytsbeek street and continuing after the ascent along the (cobbled) avenue de la chênaie and continuing straight on along the avenue du prince d'orange (gradient max 5-6 percent).

Ascension pavée dure mais pas infaisable. On peut l'utiliser pour en faire la section la plus difficile de Bruxelles en arrivant au Kauwberg par la rue pavée Geleytsbeek et en continuant après l'ascension sur l'avenue (pavée) de la chênaie et en continuant encore tout droit sur l'avenue du prince d'orange (pente max 5-6 pourcents). Cette section fait au total 2600m dont 1800 de pavé.

Beautiful and feisty cobbled climb which, after a smooth start, gets noticeably tougher and is really tough especially in the second part.

Mooie en pittige kasseiklim die na een vlot begin duidelijk zwaarder wordt en vooral in het tweede deel echt doorbijten is.

Tough cobbled climb from Dieweg with a gentle start and then a tough middle section soon after. The transition to the cobbles immediately makes it tougher and requires constant pace. Short but intense, with little recovery along the way.

Stevige kasseiklim vanuit Dieweg met een rustige start en daarna snel een zwaar middenstuk. De overgang naar de kasseien maakt het direct lastiger en vraagt constant tempo. Kort maar intens, met weinig herstel onderweg.

Really tough climb with no traffic at all. First third is paved, and then it really kicks up when you enter the cobbled sector, crossing the bridge, and then arriving at the park

It's a really tough climb, the cobbles are in very good condition in the first part, but as soon as you leave the houses and enter the part closed to cars, you have to hang on. This is probably one of the most difficult streets to climb in the whole of the Brussels conurbation.

C'est vraiment une montée "casse pâtes", dans la première partie , les pavés sont en très bon état, mais dès que l'on quitte les habitations pour entrer dans la partie interdite aux voitures, il faut s'accrocher. Sans doute une des rues les plus difficiles à monter dans toute l'agglomération bruxelloise.

Nice cobbled section, very clean on the first half, a little less so on the second, but it's not a problem. Nice passage through the copse at the summit.

Beau secteur pavé, très propre sur la première moitié, un peu moins sur la deuxième, mais cela ne pose pas de problème. Beau passage dans le bosquet au sommet.

it's avenue de la Chênaie in fact... this area is full of selective little hills. At the start the road is accessible to cars, but it is blocked just before the railway crossing, at which point the cobbles appear, and the suffering only increases... At the top, there's a nice cobbled section on a false flat descending to Avenue Dolez.

c'est l'avenue de la Chênaie en fait... ce quartier regorge de petites côtes hyper sélectives. Au début la route est accessible aux voitures mais elle est bloqué juste avant le passage du chemin de fer, moment où apparaissent les pavés et ça ne fait qu'augmenter dans la souffrance... Au sommet un beau secteur pavé en faux plat descendant jusqu'à l'avenue Dolez

The cobbles are very fine on the first part, but once the gradient kicks up as you pass the poles, it gets worse. Not an insanely steep climb, but still quite long.

Very nice coastline, which I didn't know until today, . A pleasant discovery. Note that the cobbles (very good) continue for several hundred metres straight on, up to Avenue Dolez, which makes it probably one of the longest cobbled sectors in the Brussels-Capital Region.

Très belle côte, que je ne connaissais pas jusqu'à aujourd'hui, . Une agréable découverte. À noter que les pavés (très corrects) se poursuivent sur plusieurs centaines de mètres en continuant tout droit, jusqu'à l'avenue Dolez, ce qui en fait probablement un des plus longs secteurs pavés de la région de Bruxelles-Capitale.

Nice little cobblestone climb through the woods. One of the nicest in Brussels, similar to a small Moskesstraat

Leuk kasseienklimmetje door het bos(je). Een van de leukste in Brussel, vergelijkbaar met een kleine Moskesstraat

perfectly doable by bike: poles somewhere halfway, so the car can't get through but by bike perfectly doable. nice climb, small bridge over and then the steepest cobblestones up to the plateau above

perfect te doen met de fiets: paaltjes ergens halfweg, dus de auto kan er niet door maar met de fiets prima te doen. leuke klim wel, small bruggetje over en dan de steilste kasseitjes tot op de plateau boven
