Karup Å

Karup Å is the river separated the counties of Viborg and Ringkbing. Karup is the sixth biggest watercourse in Denmark. In 1964, 500 hectares along the river over a 20-kilometer length between Karup and Hagebro were designated as an EU habitat area, and the entire stretch from Karup to Skive, totaling 1,008 hectares (including several tributaries), is presently designated as an EU habitat area.

There are tributaries from Vallerbaek that originate from Kompedal a little higher up the river, and the river runs from the east of Haller, which comes from the region of Hauge S by Grathe Hede south of Thorning, a few kilometers south of Karup.

Resen stream from Resen Bk is about 10 kilometers northwest of Karup, and it drains Alheden and Kongenshus Mindepark, together with the somewhat more northern tributary Sejbk. There are tributaries flowing from the south from the left of Haderup at Hagebro. The Karup Å river flows northward. The river is set out in a canal at Skive dal, and on this section it flows parallel to Koholm, which is drained by Hjerl Hede and drains Flynders and Stubbergaard S. The two rivers meet at Lundbro, at the southwestern end of Skive, and run into Skive Fjord, south of the town's port.
