Berg is a sub-municipality of Kampenhout in the province Flemish Brabant. It is the second-largest borough in terms of both area and population (after Kampenhout). South of Berg is the nature reserve "Torfbroek."'[1]
Toponymy
Berg owes its name to the fact that the church is located on a small hill (about 26 meters above sea level). In the past, this church could be seen from quite a distance, because there were few other buildings except a few farms.
