Rijk van Nijmegen

The Rijk van Nijmegen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌrɛik fɑ ˈnɛimeːɣə(n)]) is a region in the southeast of Gelderland.

In addition to Nijmegen itself, the region includes the municipalities of Beuningen, Berg en Dal, Heumen and Wijchen.

The North Limburg municipality of Mook en Middelaar is often considered part of the Rijk van Nijmegen.

The highest point of this lateral moraine approaches 100 meters (Vlierenberg 99.8 m above sea level) near Berg en Dal.

In the municipality of Berg en Dal lies the nature reserve Ooijpolder, which is formed by the floodplains of the river Waal.
