Overbetuwe

Among the municipalities of Gelderland, Overbetuwe stands out for its position in the low-lying Betuwe, between the Waal and the Nederrijn. The municipality includes communities such as Elst, Heteren, Valburg and Driel, where orchards, fields and dykes reflect a landscape long shaped by the rivers. Elst holds one of the Netherlands' most significant Roman archaeological sites: foundations of two successive Gallo-Roman temples were found beneath the present Grote Kerk. Dykes and rural lanes define much of the area, while Arnhem and Nijmegen frame this stretch of Dutch river country.
