'Het Land van Maas en Waal' (Land of Meuse and Waal), also called 'Maas en Waal', is a region west of the Dutch city of Nijmegen, between the rivers Meuse and Waal. Today I uploaded a picture of the village of Niftrik and one of Balgoij. And now all 28 villages of Maas en Waal are on Woophy. So, let me present them:
Afferden
Weurt
Appeltern
Horssen
Bergharen
Overasselt
Wamel
Beneden-Leeuwen
Leur
Wijchen
Deest
Dreumel
Beuningen
Puiflijk
Hernen
Balgoij
Nederasselt
Ewijk
Druten
Altforst
Batenburg
Niftrik
Alverna
Heumen
Maasbommel
Alphen
Winssen
Boven-Leeuwen

I thought that Heerewaarden was also a village of Maas en Waal?

@Pansa: Dreumel is the last village of Maas en Waal; then the first village to the west, Heerewaarden, is Bommelerwaard.
Heerewaarden is very interesting. the rivers Meuse and Waal almost touch eachother in this village. the distance between the two rivers here is less than a kilometer. so in fact Heerewaarden is more Maas en Waal than Maas en Waal.
thanks for your contribution at this topic and for your special impression of Heerewaarden.

very nice series Geert, and good to learn because I'have never heard of some of those places and yes, Boudewijn de Groot would be nice in the background,
Thank you!
