Herne 
Herne is a rural town located in the southwest of Flemish Brabant. The Pajottenland is quiet and you will find an oasis of green, a gently undulating landscape with fertile fields and scattered small forests. Pollard willows and poplars surround the countryside and from the hills you can enjoy beautiful panoramas.  Farmsteads and many chapels are typical of our region.
