오이르쇼트 최고의 라이딩 경로

This beautiful historic lock has regulated the water flow between the Drongelens Canal and the polders between Vlijmen and 's-Hertogenbosch for over a century. During high water, the lock ensures we stay dry, while during dry weather, it allows water to flow into the area beyond. A true gem in the field of water management. The lock has been completely renovated and reopened on April 10, 2025. Thanks to the restoration, the lock can continue to play an important role in the future. When the water level in the Drongelens Canal rises, the lock is closed manually to prevent flooding. This last happened at the end of 2023, during high water. This prevented high water from flowing from the canal into the polders south of Vlijmen. During drier periods, this inlet system ensures that these polders are supplied with water. Water from the Drongelens Canal fills the ditches and streams. Source: www.aaenmaas.nl

Renovated since the fall of 2025 with super-smooth asphalt. Drives wonderfully now 👍🏻

moving bridge over the Wilhelmina Canal

It's just along the Wilhelmona Canal. There's really not much to it in itself; you're better off cycling into Orischot, which is much more fun.

A pleasant, relaxing cycling route. At the Stönner-Meijwaard Bridge in Oirschot, there's a sound column where you can listen to relive the events of World War II.

I ride this bike path every day from Kaatsheuvel to 's-Hertogenbosch to work. Fantastic route.

Free with the museum card.

Oirschot itself, and especially the town center, looks inviting and cozy. The cobblestone roads are beautiful to look at but not pleasant to cycle on. A narrow bike path, also made of cobblestones, offers a bit more comfort, though it's a bit too narrow for a tricycle.
