Description

A bike ride along the Linge is the ultimate spring experience, but it can get quite busy. And actually the route is also beautiful in other seasons - then you have this beautiful area more to yourself!

Special church towers
With its 108 kilometers in length, the Linge is one of the longest rivers that has its source in the Netherlands. Along the banks you will find many ancient villages. In Acquoy you drive past a fifteenth-century church tower that is slightly out of plumb and in Beesd you also see a special church tower: the unfinished sixteenth-century tower of St. Peter's Church. The tower used to be used as a refuge when the Linge overflowed its banks.

Marienwaerdt estate
The extreme eastern point of the route is the glory of Mariënwaerdt. This private estate of over 900 hectares contains no less than 40 national monuments, such as 14 homesteads, haystacks and flood barns. You look your eyes out! At Heukelum you can see another beautiful historic building: Kasteel Merckenburg, which originally dates from the thirteenth century. The current building was built around 1700.
