Last week, the Experience Map Overbetuwe & Lingewaard was unveiled during a festive gathering. The Experience Map is more than just a map; it is a guide full of inspiration that takes you along unique places in the villages and towns. From hidden gems to iconic locations, from historical buildings to cultural hotspots, each with its own story.
Every place tells its own story
Spread across dozens of villages and two characterful towns, you will find places that show you how rich Lingewaard and Overbetuwe are in history, culture, and surprises. Every place tells its own story – sometimes centuries old, sometimes just beginning. The Experience Map connects people. It invites you to go out, share stories, recall memories, and be proud together of what makes our municipalities so special. It allows you as residents to rediscover your living environment and puts tourists on the right track. Thus, what once was and what is now becomes visible.
Experience, meet, and discover
The map originated from conversations with over 300 involved residents from both municipalities, local historical circles, local entrepreneurs, and the visitors and volunteers of the Living Rooms in Overbetuwe. Together, they mapped out Lingewaard and Overbetuwe. For everyone who wants to experience, meet, and discover.
A free copy for residents
Residents can collect one free copy per household at the town hall in Elst with a special voucher until September 1st at the latest. This voucher will appear on June 14th in the Municipal News. After that, the map will be available for purchase at local entrepreneurs.
