The St. Michael's Church in Beek was put into use in 1835 after the original church was demolished around 1813. The original church in Beek was built in the 15th century on the current Molenweg with a church tower. After the church building was demolished, the tower remained standing. The stage does not pass the tower, but can be seen clearly from the Goorloop stream. The Goorloop rises in the Sang en Goorkens nature reserve southeast of Mierlo, passes under the Eindhoven Canal, then passes through Helmond and in the municipality of Laarbeek under the Wilhelmina Canal and the Zuid-Willemsvaart to finally flow into the Aa. The immediate vicinity of the stream lies like a green ribbon through the municipality. At the hamlet of Het Laar, the stage passes over the Laar Bridge at the Wilhelmina Canal. The original Laar Bridge was blown up on May 11, 1940 during the withdrawal of the Dutch army. The current bridge was installed in September 1947. The first plans for a canal connecting Tilburg with the Maas date from 1794. At that time, Tilburg had an important wool industry. In 1910, the actual construction began; first, the section from the Amer and the Mark to Tilburg was constructed. The second section, the section from the Zuid-Willemsvaart to Tilburg, was started in 1917. The entire Wilhelmina Canal was opened in 1923. On the Hooge Akkers, the stage passes the Hagelkruis, this crucifix is ​​the oldest remaining hailstone in the Netherlands and was seen as a means of warding off hail damage to crops. The crucifix was first mentioned in 1419 with the text: 'ter plek geheten dat Haghelcruys'.
