Saint Denijs or Saint-Genois in French, we are here on the border with Hainaut, is derived from the two patron saints Saint Dionysius and Saint Genesius. A walk along the church roads and wide field roads that have a beautiful view of the area with highlight the Geitenberg with its observation point for bird migration (halfway along the road and a beautiful resting point). Then the Tontekapel, a place of pilgrimage since 1729 where people pray against fever. The old custom is to tie a garment of the sick to the chapel to transmit the disease to Our Lady. The girls also tied bows and ribbons to the door of the chapel in hopes of finding a lover for the next pilgrimage. Parking at the church, Sint-Denijsplaats and crossing the street in the first road of the church. Around the church (stairs at the top) the lawn is reserved as a picnic area-with the necessary picnic benches.
