The Linge is a river that flows from Doornenburg to Gorinchem in the Betuwe.

The Linge is the longest river in the Netherlands.

Flowing 108 km long through a varied landscape of orchards, meadows, pastures, and reed fields, the Linge is the longest river in the Netherlands. Between Doornenburg and Gorinchem, where it empties into the Merwede, you will find numerous historic villages and towns. The Linge is one of the many beautiful rivers that the Netherlands has to offer. 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 has, where possible, made areas accessible to the public.
The Linge is originally a side arm of the Waal and was dammed around 1200 near Tiel.

The Linge between Doornenburg and the junction with the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal near Zoelen (where the Linge disappears under the canal) is also referred to as the "Upper Linge," and the part thereafter from Zoelen to Gorinchem is called the "Lower Linge." The Lower Linge is traditionally the most popular in terms of nature experience, recreation, and tourism.
This is because the Upper Linge is largely more of a (controlled) canal, while the Lower Linge was originally a natural watercourse fed by the Waal at Tiel until the 14th century (now the "Dead Linge").
In the area of the Lower Linge, the river flows through the municipalities of Tiel, Buren, West Betuwe (i.o.), Vijfheerenlanden (i.o.), Giessenlanden, and Gorinchem.
