Zevenaar: Liemers Town on the Dutch-German Railway Corridor
Zevenaar counts about 26,100 inhabitants and lies in the Liemers region of Gelderland, between Arnhem and the German border. The Betuweroute, the dedicated freight railway connecting Rotterdam's port to the German rail network, passes through the municipality. Zevenaar station sits on the busy Amsterdam-Arnhem-Oberhausen passenger line, making the town a minor railway node.
The Liemers landscape is flat, with the Rijn floodplain to the north and slightly elevated sandy ground to the south. The Babberich and Angerlo villages within the municipality retain a rural character. The Turmac tobacco factory, later Philip Morris, was a significant employer until its closure.
Arnhem is about 15 kilometres west. Emmerich in Germany is roughly 10 kilometres east. Doetinchem lies approximately 20 kilometres southeast.
