Toenisvorst: St. Toenis and Vorst United, Lower Rhine Apple Orchards, and the Krefeld Neighbour on Flat Farmland
Toenisvorst counts around 30,300 inhabitants and sits on the Lower Rhine in Nordrhein-Westfalen, formed in 1970 by merging the towns of St. Toenis and Vorst. Fruit and vegetable cultivation on the fertile Lower Rhine soils is traditional, with apple orchards particularly visible in the surrounding landscape. The area supplies the nearby Ruhr and Rhine cities.
Krefeld is directly to the south. Kempen lies to the north. Viersen is to the west. The flat, open agricultural landscape is typical of the Lower Rhine. The Niers river passes through the wider area. Duesseldorf is about 30 kilometres southeast. The Niederrhein (Lower Rhine) identity is strong, with local dialect and customs distinct from the Ruhr.
