About Opheusden
Opheusden is a town. Location: Neder-Betuwe Municipality, Gelderland. Population: 5,460. Elevation: 9 m.
Opheusden (Dutch pronunciation: [ɔpˈɦøːzdə(n)]) is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Neder-Betuwe, and lies some 5 km south-west of Wageningen. Opheusden (or "Heusden", as it was known then) was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Kesteren.
