Eerbeek: Paper Mills on the Edge of the Veluwe
Paper production has defined Eerbeek for centuries. The streams flowing off the Veluwe ridge powered watermills, and the industry scaled up with industrialisation. DS Smith and Mayr-Melnhof still operate paper and packaging plants here. About 10,103 residents live in this village within the gemeente Brummen, on the transition from the forested Veluwe to the IJssel valley.
The Loenense Waterval, a small waterfall on the Loenense Beek, is one of the few natural waterfalls in the Netherlands and lies in the forest west of Eerbeek. The surrounding Veluwe woods offer walking and cycling. The village centre is modest, with shops along the Stuijvenburchstraat. Eerbeek has a residential character alongside its industrial function. Brummen is about 8 kilometres east, Apeldoorn roughly 15 kilometres north.
