Geests

flat, almost unbroken lowlands near the shores of the North Sea in the Federal Republic of Germany and the Netherlands consisting of sandy glacial and water glacial deposits with clay partings. They reach a height of 50-60 m. They are covered with wasteland, heaths, and, in well-watered depressions, peat bogs. They are used mainly as pasture land for sheep and goats. Near the rivers, where the geests are better drained, farming is carried on (potatoes and buckwheat). In the Netherlands the term “geest” is used only for the narrow strip of plains along the inner edge dunes separating the North Sea from the polders.
