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.

A short but vicious climb where the bad cobblestones and extreme percentages make it surprisingly tough. The steepest part requires maximum focus and strength but fortunately it is over quickly.
Een kort maar venijnig klimmetje waar de slechte kasseien en extreme percentages het verrassend zwaar maken. Het steilste stuk vraagt maximale focus en kracht maar gelukkig is het snel voorbij.
Short but extremely steep stretch where the poor cobblestones and limited grip make it extra tough. The devil is entirely in the first part; after that, the road continues much calmer towards the center of Rixensart.
Korte maar extreem steile strook waar de slechte kasseien en beperkte grip het extra zwaar maken. Het venijn zit volledig in het eerste deel; daarna loopt de weg veel rustiger verder richting het centrum van Rixensart.
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.

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.
