North Brabant is known for its rich Catholic history, which is reflected in the landscape. During a bike ride between Oirschot, Oisterwijk, Moergestel and Hilvarenbeek, you will pass several Catholic chapels that bear witness to this history. These chapels are still important places for moments of reflection. One of the chapels you will encounter along the way is the Maria in de Bossen (Mary in the Woods) chapel. This chapel is located in a beautiful wooded area and is surrounded by trees and greenery. The chapel is dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus, and is an important place for people seeking peace and spirituality. Another chapel you can visit during the cycling tour is the Our Lady in the Field chapel. This chapel is located in a quiet spot in the open field and is surrounded by fields and meadows. The chapel is dedicated to Mary, who is revered as the patron saint of farmers and their crops. This makes the chapel an important place for the local farming community. The bike ride past the various Catholic chapels offers not only a glimpse into the region's rich Catholic history, but also a chance to enjoy the beautiful nature. It is a lovely way to relax and reflect on the significance of these special chapels in the Brabant landscape.
