The Stippelberg owes its name to the 'dots' in the landscape. These are spring dunes that were created when the area was still open and the sand could drift freely. The shifting sand got stuck on the wetter soils of the Breuk van Milheeze. The result: a hilly landscape full of dots.

The Stippelberg is a large nature reserve. Yet it is well hidden in the east of Brabant, near the village of De Rips. Walk in the eastern part of the Stippelberg over the beautiful lanes that belong to the country house. And admire the rhododendrons that brighten up the estate.

A striking feature of the Stippelberg are the many hills in the middle of the forest. All these 'dots' are drifting dunes created by sand drifts. The Stippelberg owes its name to these hills. Due to afforestation for wood production, you can now find an extensive pine forest here. Take a walk in this forest over the dots in the landscape.
A place that you really must have seen is d'n Blikken Emmer. This place is on top of the highest dot. But what exactly can you admire? At this spot you can see a bucket hanging on top of a pole. Now you might think, why a bucket? In the past, when forest workers were allowed to take a break, this bucket was hit. It was also a fire alarm. Source and more information: Natuurmonumenten

The Stippelberg owes its name to the so-called Stippeln (points) in the landscape. You can see them well along the way. These are jumping dunes that were created when the area was still open and the sand was free to drift. The drifting sand got stuck on the moister soil of the Breuk van Milheeze. This is how sand hills are created in the landscape: the stipples (points). Here you walk over these old drifting dunes.
