Bedafse Hills – Sand Dunes

Because the Maashorst lies higher than the surrounding area, it is drier than the rest. People have always liked that, so humans settled here centuries ago. And where people go, the environment changes. Medieval farmers cut down a lot of wood to create fields. On those cleared areas, vast heathlands developed. The farmers let their sheep graze there, and they ate the heath so bare that the sand was exposed. The wind then began to blow the sand around. The result: the sand dunes of Bedaf. A special piece of primeval land where you can wander freely and where it feels as if time has stood still.

Walk along the winding paths between the ancient trees. Look out over the sand hills and watch the kids building huts and sliding down the dunes. Another fun option: explore the area on horseback!
