The pronunciation is often incorrect, but with a hyphen, it's better: Bele-ven. There's plenty to experience, especially if you're a birdwatcher. A true paradise for many birds, the Spoonbill is also regularly spotted, and it's a breeding ground for various meadow birds. From a mammoth-shaped wooden platform, you have a magnificent view of Het Beleven. Sandy paths crisscross the nature reserve "Het Beleven" with wide verges and hedgerows; 'Suskes Klompenpedje' (7.5 km)—the name gives it away—you can follow the wooden clogs. A printed version of the route is available at the Hollandershoeve and Visit Reusel-De Mierden. Het Beleven is situated in a bowl-shaped depression. And to think, until recently, there were only corn fields here. The deep drainage ditches have been filled in, and the enriched soil has been largely removed. Source: Brabantslandschap.nl
