Herzele, Municipality in East Flanders, Belgium
Located between two main brooks, Molenbeek and Molenbeek-Ter Erpenbeek, Herzele encompasses eight villages across 47 square kilometers of Flemish countryside.
The settlement's origins trace back to the 7th century, when a fortress was constructed to defend against Norman invasions in the region.
Dutch remains the principal language of communication throughout Herzele's communities, reflecting the linguistic patterns of East Flanders province.
Three railway stations along line 89 connect Herzele to Dendermonde, Brussels, and Zottegem, providing regular transportation options for residents.
The municipality maintains two nature reserves, Duivenbos and Doormansbos, while local vineyards and breweries produce regional beverages.
