Hoeilaart
Belgium
This tiny Belgian town in Flemish Brabant was once known as "The Glass Village" for its greenhouse grape cultivation, a tradition that shaped its identity within the broader Druivenstreek (grape region). Situated in the Brussels periphery near the Dijleland area, Hoeilaart has a small central core with cafés and restaurants, and the hamlet of Groenendaal lies within its boundaries. The town's name derives from a Gallic-Celtic phrase meaning a high clearing in the woods.
