The Bedafse Bergen form a striking drifting sand area between Uden and Vorstenbosch. The landscape was created by centuries of sand drift after the original forests were cleared for agriculture and firewood in the Middle Ages. The wind carried the loose sand and accumulated it into hills and sand ridges—the present-day sand dunes of the Bedafse Bergen. The area consists of open drifting sand, low and high sand hills, dry heathland, and small transitions to forest. The dunes have remained active because managers keep sections open, thus preserving the character of a true drifting sand area. The higher ridges offer clear views over the undulating sand landscape, which differs significantly from the typical Brabant forests and farmland. The Bedafse Bergen are one of the few remaining places in North Brabant where this type of landscape can still be seen so clearly: a rugged, dry, and dynamic terrain with natural elevation changes. This makes it both scenically unique and physically challenging, especially when you hike up and down the steep sandy slopes several times. Today, it's a protected nature reserve and a popular hiking area due to its unique dune landscape, open vistas, and stark contrast with the surrounding landscape.

The son of the previous owner of the Kampina, Pieter van Tienhoven, has made great efforts as chairman of Natuurmonumenten to preserve the Kampina, the preservation of meandering streams, and for nature conservation in general. His ashes were scattered on the Kampina at the spot where his memorial stone was also erected. This viewpoint was his favorite spot.

In the immediate vicinity of this monument I found two other memorials at the base of a tree. A stone with a bird on it and a heart-shaped memorial with the text “Rest in peace”. I do not know whether there is a relationship with the large memorial.

Yesterday I walked the white route (2 hours) in lovely summer weather and wind. After the start at the parking lot, 2 deer, male and female, were immediately photographed running around in circles. Good unpaved paths, beautiful small fens (filled with blooming lilies) and some large fens. Few birds on the way.
