Kerselare is a woodland pilgrimage site in the hamlet of Edelare, about three kilometres south-east of Oudenaarde. A small chapel in a clearing has drawn pilgrims since the thirteenth century, and the surrounding oak forest gives the place a stillness that is quite different from the town's Gothic churches. The path from the road to the chapel is well-worn and takes about ten minutes on foot.
The chapel itself is modest — a late Gothic structure with a venerated Madonna statue and offerings left by visitors over the centuries. It is still an active pilgrimage site, particularly on the feast of the Assumption in August, when a procession makes its way from Edelare. The forest walk is pleasant at any time of year, and the site sees few tourists — mostly locals and the occasional cyclist passing through on one of the regional routes.
