Linge
For the WWII war hero, see
Martin Linge. For the boat designer, see
Jan Herman Linge. Linge is a river in the
Betuwe that is over 100
km long, which makes it one of the longest rivers that flow entirely within the
Netherlands.It starts near the village
Doornenburg near the German border. It flows to
Tiel and from there on meanders through the
Betuwe, to end in the
Boven Merwede near
Gorinchem. Until
Geldermalsen the river is little more than a small, canalised stream. From Geldermalsen on however, it begins to look like a real river complete with dikes and small floodplains. The river was once a branch of the river
Rhine but it has been cut off a very long time ago. The river is navigable for small vessels and is a popular route for recreational ships. The borders of the river has strong natural values and are important breedinggrounds for waterloving birds.
