Skjern Å

While the Guden is Denmark's longest river, the Skjern Å is the country's largest river in terms of volume. It is just 94 kilometers long and begins in Tinnet Krat, not far from Guden. It flows westwards from there, entering the North Sea through Ringkbing Fjord at Skjern.

The lower Skjern is a particularly valuable natural region with wetlands and fauna that was once proposed for the creation of the Skjern National Park. Despite the fact that the national park was not legally established in the end, walking pathways and rudimentary tourism infrastructure are present. Beaches can also be found along the North Sea shoreline in the adjacent areas. Herning or Billund are two options for getting there (the Legoland town).

The Skjern Å River and its delta were scheduled to be included in the Skjern National Park, which would have covered 248.7 acres, however the proposal was shelved in 2012. The national park procedure, on the other hand, had already progressed to the point of creating tourist walking pathways and amenities, and on September 21, 2014, two local citizens groups representing nine towns and villages unofficially launched Skjern National Park. This is considered one of the longest rivers in Denmark.
