On the edge of the Rips forests, in the open air, stands a hand-made forest museum. This wooden canopy - with theme panels - was built in an authentic way. Of Rips wood of course. It is a museum that tells the history of the origins of the 'forest reclamation village' in one glance.

Nature reserve de Stippelberg owes its name to the many drifting dunes in the landscape. Take a beautiful forest walk and meander along the numerous dunes.

At this location lie the last remains of the trenches that were constructed in a zigzag pattern through the Peel just before the Second World War in 1939. The trenches were part of the Dutch defence against the invading enemy from the east. At that time, the trenches were provided with wooden walls

At the vineyard By Ypma in the picturesque village of De Rips, winegrower Hans Ypma has started with organic wine. In 2018, he started with half a hectare, on which the grape varieties Johanniter, Muscaris, Souvignier Gris and Sauvignac were planted, and a year later he expanded to 2 hectares. With respect for nature, beautiful organic wines are made with love and passion, namely Peeldorpje and Jungske. They have been working for 5 years now and still have plenty of ideas and possibilities to please the visitor.
