Tough cobblestone climb and thus a nice (but not the only) climbing access road to the Sonian Forest from Boitsfort
Stevige kasseiklim en daarmee een mooie (maar niet de enige) klimmende toegangsweg naar het Zoniënwoud vanuit Bosvoorde
You can also continue straight on at the top and enter (bypassing a barrier) the Soignes forest via a forest track called logically enough :-) chemin du Rouge-Gorge. It is passable for road bikes (better to have solid tires) and it joins a little further the Bonne-Odeur brook.
On peut également continuer tout droit au sommet et entrer (en contournant une barrière) dans la forêt de Soignes via une piste forestière appelée assez logiquement :-) chemin du Rouge-Gorge. Elle est praticable pour les vélos de route (mieux vaut avoir quand même des pneus solides) et elle rejoint un peu plus loin la drève de Bonne-Odeur.
It's actually a fun climb: it's hard and adorned with old cobblestones and offbeat manhole covers!
Fortunately, it's all very short... But it is worth continuing by turning left at the top: you arrive then on the hillock in a small typical place of the old Boitsfort. We are no longer in Brussels but in a very nice village !
C'est effectivement une montée amusante : elle est dure et agrémentée de vieux pavés et de plaques d'égouts décalées !
Heureusement, tout ça est très court... Mais ça vaut la peine de continuer en tournant à gauche au sommet : on arrive alors sur la butte dans un petit endroit typique du vieux Boitsfort . On n'est plus à Bruxelles mais dans petit village très sympathique !

Une montée pittoresque à Bruxelles (Watermael-Boitsfort). Une centaine de mètres seulement, la petite difficulté étant associée au revêtement en pavés et à la pente (15％). Autre point positif: plusieurs autres côtes sympathiques sont aux alentours, certaines étant déjà référencées sur Climbfinder (Rue Nisard, Rue du Buis).
