Bemmel: Administrative Centre of Lingewaard in the Betuwe
Fruit orchards still surround Bemmel, placing it firmly in the Betuwe tradition even as residential development has expanded since the 1970s. This administrative centre of the gemeente Lingewaard has about 12,020 residents and sits midway between Arnhem and Nijmegen along the A15 corridor.
The centre around the Dorpsstraat and the Hervormde Kerk is compact. Park Lingezegen, a large regional green zone between the two cities, partly runs through Lingewaard. The Betuweroute freight railway also passes through the area.
The Linge river, the southern boundary of the Over-Betuwe, flows through the municipality. Agricultural heritage coexists with the growing suburban character. Arnhem is about 10 kilometres north, Nijmegen roughly 10 kilometres southwest.
