Tour of Kampina, Oirschot and the Mortelen

Between Oisterwijk and Oirschot lies plenty of natural beauty. In short, an ideal region for a day of cycling. First, you cycle a long way through the Kampina. This nature reserve offers you plenty of silence, dense forests and expansive views over the vast heathland. Around junction 9, you cycle through the Beerzedal with its untouched grasslands. Just past Spoordonk, you pass the Chapel of the Holy Oak in the middle of the forest. It is said that two shepherds found a statue of Mary in De Beerze in 1406 and placed it in an oak tree. Further on, you cycle through the historic heart of Oirschot, after which you can enjoy a break at Kasteel Bijsterveld - Brasserie Jacob V. Finally, you cycle through the Mortelen, a small-scale coulisse landscape that still exudes the atmosphere of old Brabant.
