New asphalt in recent years. A safer alternative than a narrow highway.

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.

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.
