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.

Super delicious ice cream

Beautiful place with history and an old town worth seeing, located directly on the Maas.

Cycling through Grave you imagine yourself in another time. The medieval alleys and vistas, paved with cobblestones, are full of historic buildings that have been tastefully decorated by the middle class. The friendly atmosphere makes you almost forget that you are cycling in the most besieged city in the Netherlands. During the Eighty Years' War, Grave formed the gateway to the Republic of the Netherlands. Here was the border between Spaniards and Catholics on the one hand, and the Dutch and Protestants on the other. Fortified town of Grave is part of the Zuiderwaterlinie. Ham gate As early as 1309 there was a gate to the De Ham area. But the Hampoort we know today has been there since 1688. When Willem III captured Grave from the French years before, it was done with heavy artillery. That is why new fortifications had to be built, including the current Hampoort in Grave. Two battalions of foot soldiers could fit in the gate spaces. If no troops were stationed in Grave, the gate was simply a city gate. Now it can be visited as the Museum of Grave. Crown work Coehorn Menno van Coehoorn built the Kroonwerk Coehoorn around 1700 in the flood plains of Nederasselt, in order to defend Grave. It became part of the Southern defense line of the Republic, the Zuiderwaterlinie. There was a moat around the crown work, and a pontoon bridge was built over the Maas. The crown work replaced older, smaller defenses. Such as the Verloren Cost lunette that the Spaniards built there in 1586, and a hornwork by the Staatsen. Are you planning to cross the Meuse to see it? Unfortunately: only a few wall remnants and boundary stones remain as a shadow of a bygone era. During the LF Maasroute you cycle through Grave.
