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 Bedafse Pier is a well-known restaurant and café on the edge of the Bedafse Bergen drift sands, right on several hiking trails around Uden. Situated at a junction of sandy paths, the café has long been a regular stop for hikers, horseback riders, and cyclists entering or leaving the dune area. The building has the appearance of a classic Brabant rest stop, with a terrace overlooking the open sandy areas and the low forest edge. Its location near the sand dunes makes it a recognizable landmark during hikes in the area. For many visitors, the Bedafse Pier serves as the starting or ending point for a hike through the Bedafse Bergen, or as a resting place nestled among the sand dunes, heathland, and forest edge.

The Maashorst and its grazers can be spotted in enclosed areas, but also simply while walking. They are often found in the large open plains of the nature reserve. Wonderful to see.

The large open nature reserve of the Maashorst with all its grazing animals. Hiking and cycling paths surround this area and are incredibly beautiful.
