Actually, this is a cobblestone strip that goes up false flat along this side. You can avoid the cobblestones perfectly because of the very wide gutter along the side.
Eigenlijk is dit een kasseistrook die langs deze kant vals plat omhoog gaat. Je kan de kasseien perfect vermijden door het hele brede gootje langs de zijkant.

There are cobblestones on it but definitely preferable to the stone road that runs parallel. Beautiful scenery for cycling and you can cycle next to the cobbles on a concrete strip that is very good. As a result, this can hardly be called a climb considering it is certainly not difficult.
Er liggen kasseien op maar zeker te verkiezen boven de steenweg die parallel loopt. Prachtige omgeving om te fietsen en je kan naast de kasseien fietsen op een betonstrookje dat heel goed ligt. Hierdoor is dit dus eigenlijk nauwelijks een klim te noemen gezien het zeker niet lastig is.

Beautiful surroundings for cycling. In fact, the Brabantsebaan can be described as false flat rather than a real slope. The cobbles are pretty good, but there are 2 perfectly rideable concrete lanes. In the Brussels Cycling Classic, the riders ride down the Brabantsebaan in a downhill direction.
Mooie omgeving om te fietsen. De Brabantsebaan kan je in feite eerder omschrijven als vals plat dan als een echte helling. De kasseien liggen redelijk goed, maar er liggen 2 perfecte berijdbare betonstroken. In de Brussel Cycling Classic rijden de renners de Brabantsebaan in dalende richting af.
