The text below comes from the Lingestreek website
In the middle of a varied landscape with orchards, meadows, willows and reed fields, the Linge, the longest river in the Netherlands, flows for 108 km. Between Doornenburg and Gorinchem, where it flows into the Merwede, you will find numerous historic villages and towns. The Linge is one of the many beautiful rivers in the Netherlands. The Linge landscape is largely protected and falls under Natura 2000, the network of protected nature in Europe. Staatsbosbeheer manages and maintains this valuable nature along the Linge and, where possible, has opened areas to the public.
The Linge was originally a branch of the Waal and was dammed near Tiel around 1200.
