Arnhem occupies a privileged position between two completely different landscapes: the forested hills of the Veluwe to the north and the fertile river clay soils of the Betuwe directly south of the Rhine. The Betuwe is the largest fruit-growing region in the Netherlands, with endless rows of apple and pear orchards that turn white and pink with blossom in spring. Along the banks of the Rhine and the Waal you’ll find farms that have been growing fruit for generations and are increasingly open to pickers. Arnhem thus offers the unique combination of nature on the Veluwe and fresh fruit harvesting in the Betuwe, just twenty minutes’ drive from the city centre.
