Gelre Hospitals, Zutphen Live Cam

Den Elterweg crosses the eastern edge of Zutphen, past the hospital that serves this part of Gelderland. The camera looks down on the junction with the road out towards the N314.

The IJssel on the other side of the town is a branch of the Rhine that takes about a ninth of its water north to the IJsselmeer. Its flood plain was deliberately widened here in the 2010s, with side channels dug so that high water has somewhere to go instead of overtopping the dykes.

The hospital is one of two run under the same name in the province, the result of a merger of the kind that has closed or combined most of the smaller Dutch hospitals over the past thirty years.
