Beautiful bridge, but a bit strange for cycling.

The Beerze is one of the most beautiful streams in Brabant, flowing through the landscape in two branches: the Kleine Beerze and the Grote Beerze. Both streams originate in the Kempen region and meander through forests, heathland, and estates. While the Kleine Beerze is often narrow and shallow—sometimes even completely dry in summer—the Grote Beerze generally carries more water and meanders through a wider valley. In the past, the streams were straightened to drain water more quickly, but in recent years they have been restored to their original, meandering form. This has created more natural areas, wet grasslands, and a wealth of flora and fauna. Anyone walking along the banks will see dragonflies, kingfishers, and sometimes even a beaver. The Beerze is therefore not only a vibrant lifeline in the landscape but also a piece of living history in Brabant.

Deep in the woods of the Baest Estate, hidden among ancient oak trees and quiet lanes, lies the Chapel of Our Lady of the Holy Oak. This small pilgrimage chapel has a centuries-old history dating back to the 15th century. According to tradition, a statue of the Virgin Mary was found in an oak tree at this location, after which miracles were said to have occurred. The news spread quickly, and the place soon became an important place of pilgrimage. The first wooden chapel was later replaced by a stone building, so that the thousands of pilgrims who flocked to this forest annually had a permanent place to venerate Mary. Even today, the chapel exudes a special atmosphere. Candles still burn inside, and benches are placed outside where walkers and visitors can take a moment to relax. The chapel is a prominent feature of the Baest Estate: a place where nature, faith, and history intersect. As the Beerze River meanders peacefully through the landscape, the chapel seems to watch over the woods as a silent witness to centuries of popular devotion.

A beautiful bridge in Oirschot

At the start at point 13 the route runs along the water. This is no longer accessible. There is barbed wire there.

Beautiful path through a forest area with fens.
