Berg en Dal (literally in English: Mountain and Valley) is a municipality in the eastern Netherlands, in the province of Gelderland. It was formed through a merger of the municipalities of Groesbeek, Millingen aan de Rijn and Ubbergen in 2015. The resulting larger municipality maintained the name of Groesbeek until 2016, when it was renamed to Berg en Dal after the village of Berg en Dal.[5]
Berg en Dal has about 34,714 inhabitants and covers an area of about 93 km². The municipality borders in the north on the Waal river and the Bijlands Kanaal, in the east on the German forest of the Reichswald, in the south on the province of Limburg, in the southwest on the forest of the Mookerheide (also Limburg), and in the west on the city of Nijmegen.
Berg en Dal is slightly hilly with altitudes reaching 75 meters at the Duivelsberg, a hill in the municipality.
After this election, Kernachtig Groesbeek and LOKAAL! formed a coalition.[10] The municipal executive consists of mayor Mark Slinkman (CDA) and four aldermen, drawn from the coalition parties.[1]
