Heikruis is a picturesque village. Take a moment to admire the Romanesque and Gothic features of the parish church, marvel at the former Ursuline convent dating from 1839, and then set off into the rural Pajottenland region. You’ll pass beautiful farmhouses such as the Hof te Plutsingen. In the distance, you’ll see the Kesterberg, which, at 112 meters, is the highest point in the region. Every now and then, Brussels’ high-rise buildings and the dome of the Koekelberg Basilica appear on the horizon.
