Bedafse Mountains

The Bedafse Bergen (also spelled: Bedafsche Bergen) is an elongated nature reserve of 75 hectares located northeast of Vorstenbosch and northwest of the hamlet of Bedaf. Most of it lies within the municipality of Uden, which is also the owner of the area.

Since the Middle Ages, a drifting sand ridge has developed here, which was planted with coniferous forest in the early 20th century. The wood was primarily used as timber for mines. A drifting sand ridge with heights of up to 25 meters is maintained. This is flanked by a heathland on the blown-out plain where, among other species, the Brown bulrush occurs.

Breeding birds include goshawk, hobby, tawny owl, golden oriole, spotted flycatcher, yellowhammer, redstart, and woodlark.
