Je partage tout à fait l'avis ci-dessous, j'emprunte très régulièrement cette petite rue, après avoir traversé la forêt de Soignes en venant de chez moi à Boitsfort. C'est chaque fois, un bon petit test de gravir cette rue où les pourcentages sont importants à deux endroits différents, mais l'effort est de très courte durée. Et quand une voiture, nous suit, c'est assez embêtant en effet, mais elles sont respectueuses
A nice challenge this rather hard climb. After a light start, the road rises like a small wall at 12 or 13 ％. It's not long, but it's a nice effort!
What is very unpleasant, however, is the heavy car traffic on this street, which seems to be a shortcut between the village center below and a nice residential neighborhood above. Given the narrowness of the road, the big cars don't know how to overtake and queue in the back: stressful and unpleasant.
Un beau défi que cette montée assez dure. Après un début léger, la route se dresse comme un petit mur à du 12 ou 13 ％. Ce n'est pas long, mais c'est un bel effort !
Par contre, ce qui est très déplaisant, c'est la forte circulation automobile sur cette rue qui semble être un raccourci entre le centre du village, en bas, et un beau cartier résidentiel en haut. Vu l'étroitesse de la route, les grosses autos ne savent pas dépasser et font la file dans le dos : stressant et désagréable.
