Movers Gooik
Moving to Gooik
Gooik is the green heart of the Pajottenland, a resolutely rural municipality popular with cyclists and nature lovers. The village centres on the Kerkstraat and the Dorpsplein, with stone and brick village houses. The sections of Leerbeek, Oetingen and Strijland consist of scattered hamlets, renovated farms and recent villas enjoying panoramic views of the hills. The distance from major road axes gives Gooik exceptional tranquillity but requires well-planned moving logistics.
