De Valk

De Valk is a rural hamlet in Ede, Netherlands, situated across several roads including Lage Valkseweg and Hoge Valkseweg. A stream called Groote Valksche Beek runs through the settlement.

The hamlet developed as a rural farming community within Ede's agricultural landscape over centuries. A volunteer fire station established in 1946 on Lage Valkseweg has served local residents ever since.

The community maintains strong religious ties through the Gereformeerde Gemeente church, which influences local social structures and educational preferences.

The hamlet is accessible for visitors interested in exploring rural surroundings, with paths available for walking and cycling through farmland. Local schools and community facilities are nearby, making the area easy to navigate.

The landscape features surprising elevation changes, with heights varying between four and sixteen meters above sea level, unusual for such a flat region. These rolling variations create interesting perspectives when exploring on foot or by bicycle.
