The water tower at the almost highest point (103.6 m) of the municipality is a symbol of sustainability and ecological awareness. The municipality of Bierbeek included the tower in its logo.

A beautiful decoration of an otherwise not so beautiful utility building. Imaginative.

This is a nice place up a hill with good view on the surrounding land, and has this pretty iconic landmark of a water tower painted to represent the earth.
