What a steep climb! It's a good thing that this ultra-steep section is fairly short, because the cobbles are really bad and the grip minimal. The final section takes you through a pleasant part of Rixensart.
Sacré raidillon ! Heureusement que ce passage ultra-pentu est assez bref, parce qu'effectivement les pavés sont mauvais et l'adhérence minimale. La partie terminale permet de parcourir un quartier agréable de Rixensart.
The Bûchet path is without doubt the most difficult part of the region. The slope is very steep and the pavement very bad. You don't want to miss a beat. Even in dry weather, the rear wheel skids constantly. For fans of cobbled walls, it's a must.
Personally, I'd stop at the climb at the top of the Bûchet, as the rest is just a false flat.
Le sentier du bûchet est sans doute le passage le plus difficile de la région. La pente est très forte et le pavé très mauvais. Il ne faut pas se rater. Même pas temps sec, la roue arrière dérape constamment. Pour les amateurs de murs pavés, c'est un incontournable.
Personnellement, j'arrêterais la côte en haut du Bûchet, le reste n'est qu'un faux plat.
According to Garmin GPS (measured on the track) the max is 33％ and to be honest, I have done a 30％ slope in France before and this one is a bit heavier.
Volgens Garmin GPS (nagemeten op de track) ligt de max op 33％ en eerlijk gezegd heb al eens een 30％ helling gedaan in Frankrijk en deze is toch iets zwaarder.
