| |  | | |  | | This ridge of hills was formed during the second-to-last Ice Age. The land here is a mix of dry heathland and mixed broadleaf-coniferous woodland. The highest point on the ridge, Koningsbelt, is 75 m above sea level. It is the only place in the Netherlands where the black grouse survives in the wild.
