The Gelderse Valley is an agricultural zonę situated between two higher lying areas. The surrounding terrain is not so high as the name "valley" might suggest, but for Dutch standards, where about 1/3 of country lies below sea level, the Gelderse Valley is fringed by quite high terrain. To the East, the almost 100 meter high sandy hills of the Veluwe, and to the West the Utrechtse Heuvelrug (the Utrecht hills). To the North lie narrow lakes - the Randmeren - and to the South the Rhine river. It lies within the area of two Dutch provinces: Utrecht and Gelderland. Agricultural land in the Valley occupies about 45,000 hectares, and these have mostly sandy soils suitable for animal husbandry. Some 3,000 ha are natural parkland and similar land. In the Valley there are 17 municipalities and about 350,000 people live there. (fragment of text)
