Sevenum (Dutch: [ˈseːvənʏm] ; Limburgish: Zaerem) is a town in the province of Limburg in southeastern Netherlands. Until 2010, it was also the name of the municipality comprising the towns of Sevenum, Kronenberg and Evertsoord. Amusement park Toverland is located in Sevenum.

Location

[edit]

Sevenum's neighbour towns are (clockwise, starting from East): Blerick, Venlo, Maasbree, Kronenberg, Grubbenvorst, Hegelsom, Horst, Grubbenvorst.

Sevenum-town and Kronenberg are tangented by highway E34, provincial road N277 (Middenpeelweg), and the railroad track Eindhoven-Venlo; Evertsoord lies on the edge of the Peel, a former peatland.

Dialect

[edit]

Sevenum's dialect, "Zaerums", is transitional between Limburgish, North-Limburgish (see Low Rhenish), and Brabantian, which all have tentative borders within a larger dialect continuum.

The overview of town names in Limburgish at Streektaal.net [3] lists "Zaerum" (Sevenum) and "De Kroeënenberg" (Kronenberg), but it does not include "De Pieël" (Evertsoord), considering it to be in the North-Limburgish area.
