LAW6-2, Lingepad: Leerdam - Nijmegen (German border), 98 km
(Note: this trail is now called Grote Rivierenpad).
This trail is named after one of the lesser known Dutch rivers, the Linge. This river is a modest stream compared to its larger sisters, Maas and Waal, but what it lacks in size is compensated bij its charm. One of the attractions of the Lingepad is its start (- or endpoint) just over the German border. This gives you an opportunity to experience the subtle differences in landscape on both sides of the border. That same day you will also visit the old city of Nijmegen with its beautiful location on the southern riverbank of the Waal. It is a nice walk, but it's relation to the Linge is not perfectly clear, as the Linge has its starting point at Doornenburg, wich is situated to the north of the Waal. The trees you will see are mostly of the commercial variety, as the the Linge runs through an important fruit growing region, the Betuwe. (DB)
