Everything about The Achterhoek totally explained
The
Achterhoek is a region in the eastern part of the
Netherlands. Its name (meaning "back-corner") is geographically appropriate because the area lies in the Eastern-most part of
Gelderland, and therefore of the Netherlands, protruding into
Germany. The Achterhoek area lies between the rivers
IJssel and
Oude IJssel, and the borders with the province of
Overijssel and Germany. The region is predominantly rural, with lots of free space, forests and farms. The area around the town of
Winterswijk is regarded as very beautiful. A well-known beer originates from this region:
Grolsch beer was first brewed in
Groenlo in 1615.
The most important towns in the Achterhoek are:
Doetinchem,
Winterswijk,
Doesburg,
Lichtenvoorde,
Zutphen and
Borculo.
Doesburg and Zutphen are old
hanseatic cities. Both have centres with well-preserved historical buildings.
