Beatrix Camp

Highlight • Historical Site

The Beatrix camp was built by the German occupiers during the Second World War as Siedlung a.d. Oirschotse Dijk. After the liberation, it was given the name Prinses Beatrixkamp and consisted of a collection of residential buildings, a canteen building and the like. It was also used by the Ministry of Defence for storage purposes. In the early 1980s, the runway of Eindhoven Air Base was moved and rotated, and it came to lie in the approach route of the air base, and it was no longer used by the Ministry of Defence to house the military personnel who worked at the air base. From 1991, it became an asylum seekers' centre with the name Beatrixoord. It remained that until 2011. In 2012, the buildings were demolished, because it was no longer habitable because it had come to lie in the approach route of Eindhoven Airport (and Eindhoven Air Base) since the runway was rotated. A nature reserve, the Prinses Beatrixbos, was built on the site of the barracks. The fake church, built by the Germans to make the Siedlung look like a normal village, was preserved and became a bat shelter. Other buildings, once disguised as farms by the Germans, were demolished.

Wilhelminakanaal Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Here it goes for kilometers along the Julianakanaal. Right next to the big city and yet a world away. Wooded left and right, wide bike path, every now and then you change sides over one of the bascule bridges. I think it's really great here.

Miekoeksebrug

Highlight • Bridge

The story goes that the Miekoeksebrug owes its name to Mietje Koek who moved to Oirschot with her parents from the east of the country. During the construction of the Wilhelmina Canal, Mietje lived nearby and occasionally served a cup of coffee or a drink for passers-by.
It is a so-called Bailey bridge, designed by the British Donald Bailey, who worked as a civilian for the British Ministry of Defense.
