Millingen aan de Rijn

Bimmen is a village of the town of Kleve, in the district of Kleve in the west of the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The tiny village has an area of 2.09 km² and a population of about 170. Bimmen is situated on the left or south bank of the Rhine and borders the Dutch village of Millingen aan de Rijn in the province of Gelderland.

Fort Pannerden is a disused military fort situated near the village of Pannerden in the southeast of the Netherlands. In November 2006, it became the focus of national news stories because a group of squatters were evicted in a large-scale operation by police, helped by the army. Later on in the same month, it was resquatted.

The Bijlands Kanaal (Bijland Canal) is a canal in the Dutch province of Gelderland, near the Dutch-German border. It is currently by far the most important river-stretch of the Rhine when that major river enters the Netherlands.It was dug between 1773 and 1776 to cut off a large bend in river Waal to improve water regulation. This bend, and comparable waters, are currently only minor streams. They are known as the minor Oude Waal and De Bijland, and the larger Oude Rijn. The, more or less, defunct flows now only serve one purpose: to function as a buffer zone between the free flowing Waal and Nederrijn on one side and the abandoned stream-beds on the other side. The defuncts streams are shallow waters for most of the time and serve as an important spawning ground for all kinds of fish (since they remained connected to the main river through small creeks).However, in times of extreme high water-levels the 'dead' waters spring to life again, as the result of artificial overflow-devices. From time to time, the Oude Waal and De Bijland can temporarily taste the freedom of a free-flowing river. The area surrounding the 'dead' rivers is known for its historical significance and is a relic of a type of historical dyke landscape that is becoming more and more rare in the Netherlands. The Bijlands Kanaal is part of the extensive reconstruction works that Gelderland, then a semi-independent state within the federation of the Dutch Republic, undertook to better regulate water flow around the Rhine-Waal fork. It is named after Castle De Bijland, which had been destroyed by the river Waal circa 1750. In addition to the Bijlands Kanaal, the Pannerdens Kanaal is part also part of the same river regulation system. Both canals cut off shallow and slow-moving bends in the river Rhine, now known as the Oude Waal and De Bijland. Although both waters are called "Kanaal" (English: canal) they are now an indistinguishable part of the river and both lost all characteristics of an artificial structure. The area surrounding both the main rivers Waal and Rhine, and the mostly defunct abandoned streams, are all part of the extensive nature restoration project known as the Gelderse Poort.Nowadays, the canal is of enormous importance to Rhine navigation, being part of the main Rhine waterway and the first section of the Waal-Rhine fork.

Aerdt is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is in the municipality of Zevenaar, about 20 km northeast of the city of Nijmegen, close to the German border. Until it became part of Rijnwaarden in 1985, Aerdt and neighbouring village Herwen constituted a separate municipality Herwen en Aerdt. In 2018 Aerdt became part of the municipality of Zevenaar.

The Pannerdens Kanaal (Pannerden Canal) is a canal in the Netherlands that was dredged between 1701 and 1709 to cut off a large, shallow bend of the river Rhine and so improve river traffic and water regulation. The canal, now indistinguishable from a "real" river, forks off north from river Waal a few kilometres past the point where the Bijlands Kanaal, a similar canal dug to cut off a Waal bend, ends. It flows past the towns of Pannerden (right bank), which gives the canal its name, and Angeren (left bank) and so north to the point where the old Rhine bend flows into it and the river continues to the sea as Nederrijn (Lower Rhine). The old Rhine bend, cut off at its upstream end, still exists and is called, unsurprisingly, Oude Rijn (Old Rhine).

Oude Rijn ("Old Rhine"; not to be confused with the Alter Rhein) is the name of a long former bend in river Rhine in the Dutch province of Gelderland. In summer the bend became too shallow to be navigable, and so between 1701 and 1709 it was cut off from the main waterway near the town of Lobith and replaced by the Pannerdens Kanaal. After the bend was dammed-up at Tolkamer, the Oude Rijn received little water from the Rhine proper. Instead, most of its inflow now comes from the small river Wild. Near the Oude Rijn are several more, smaller, Old Rhine branches. Together they are known as the Rijnstrangen ("Rhine Bends"), a wildlife reserve area that is part of the Gelderse Poort. The Oude Rijn, which forms the border between the Dutch town of Lobith and the German town of Elten, was still used to relieve the overflow of the Rhine in times of flooding until the middle of the twentieth century. Opposite the town of Angeren, the Pannerdens Kanaal connects to the Oude Rijn, after which the river continues towards the sea as Nederrijn (Lower Rhine).

Kekerdom is a village in the municipality of Berg en Dal in the province of Gelderland, the Netherlands. Kekerdom has 550 inhabitants (2008). It was first mentioned between 814 and 815 as Cacradesheim, and means "settlement of Cacrad (person)". In 1840, it was home to 351 people. World War II was reasonably quiet in Kekerdom until Operation Market Garden in September 1944. The village was in the line of fire. The Germans tried to flood the polder to delay the allied advance, and ordered the villagers to leave on 20 October. They arrived in Marum, Groningen where they were given shelter. The gristmill De Duffelt was constructed in 1870 and rebuilt in 1938.

Burg Zelem or Zelem Castle (also Selhem, Selem or Zelm) was a knight's moated fortress located in the lowland areas left of the Rhine River between the villages Mehr and Niel.

Herwen en Aerdt is a former municipality in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It existed from 1818 to 1985, when it became part of the new municipality of Rijnwaarden.The municipality covered villages like Herwen, Aerdt, Lobith, Spijk and Tolkamer, and the surrounding area.

Zevenaar (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈzeːvənaːr] ) is a municipality and a city in the Gelderland province, in the eastern Netherlands near the border with Germany. In January 2018 the neighbouring municipality of Rijnwaarden was merged with Zevenaar.

Oud-Zevenaar (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌʌutˈseːvənaːr]) is a village in the municipality of Zevenaar in the province of Gelderland, the Netherlands. It is located to the south of Zevenaar The village was first mentioned in 1047 as Subenhara. The etymology is unclear. It uses oud (old) to distinguish from Zevenaar which was known as Nieu-Zeventer in 1725, but has reverted to plain Zevenaar. The village developed along the Oude Rijn. In 1487, Zevenaar received city rights, and became the economic centre. The development of Oud-Zevenaar remained limited. The Catholic St.Martinuskerk was first mentioned in 1276. In 1572, the tower burnt down. The church was restored in 1616. Grist mill De Hoop was built in 1850.

De Hoop is a gristmill in Oud-Zevenaar, Netherlands. It was owned by the Pijnappel family from 1852 until 2014, at which point it was sold to the Botter family. The current miller is Frits Botter.
