Achterhoek Attractions

 
The Achterhoek ("rear corner"), also known as the Gelderse Achterhoek, lies to the south of Overijssel province in eastern Gelderland, bounded by the river IJssel and the Oude (Old) IJssel. It is a sandy plain between 10m/35ft and 50m/165ft above sea level; with its wide river valleys and prominent morainic ridges it was formed during the second-last Ice Age (the Saale/Riss glaciation), when the glaciers advancing from the north extended over this part of the Netherlands.
