Gelderland

Gelderland extends from the German border to Lake Veluwe, encompassing dense forests, agricultural lands, and multiple significant rivers including the Rhine and Waal.

The region originated as the Countship of Gelre in the 11th century, centered around castles in Roermond and Geldern, later becoming a duchy in 1339.

The province maintains numerous medieval castles, traditional Dutch waterways, and the Hoge Veluwe National Park containing the Kröller-Müller Museum with Van Gogh collections.

The province connects to Germany through multiple border crossings and contains Arnhem as its capital city, with extensive rail and road networks linking major urban centers.

The Veluwezoom region features the Netherlands' highest point north of the Rhine, containing ancient push moraines formed during the Saale glacial period.
