The Spoordonk Watermill is located on the Beerze River, just outside the center of Spoordonk. It is a historic corn mill that uses the water power of the Beerze River to power its grinding mechanism. The mill consists of a brick building with a wooden wheel and originally dates from the 18th century, although it has been modified and rebuilt several times over the centuries. In the past, the mill not only served to grind grain for the immediate area but also served as an important economic hub for the village and surrounding agricultural areas. Today, the mill functions as a monument and, depending on opening hours, is sometimes open to visitors and hikers who want to learn more about traditional mill construction and the role of watermills in Brabant. For hikers, the Spoordonk Watermill is an interesting historical point along the Beerze River, where you can see the connection between waterways and local businesses in the past.

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.

Very nice gravel parh through Kampina area. Great views and pleasant ride! Nice place to make a short stop and relax.

Stapelen Castle is over 700 years old and still contains many original features. The exact date of its construction is unknown, but the oldest mention dates from 1293. The castle was the home of the Lord of Boxtel and his family. Remarkably, Prince William of Orange and the French Sun King Louis XIV also spent several nights there. In 1915, the castle was sold to the Assumptionist Fathers. They were primarily active in education, healthcare, and missionary work. Since 2018, the castle has been privately owned again. The southern part of the castle, in particular, retains many original features. For example, the Knights' Hall still has its original fourteenth-century roof and a barrel vault. The octagonal tower on the east side was built in the Middle Ages. The castle's name likely comes from the word "Stapel," which meant "high place." www.beleefboxtel.nl
