The source of the Gudenå, Denmark's longest river, is what you'll find here at this spring. What makes this spot truly unique is that the source is located in the same area as the source of the Skjern River, the country's largest river by water volume. It's a fascinating experience to see two of Denmark's most important rivers begin their journeys just a few hundred meters apart.

This is where the Gudenå begins its almost 160-kilometer journey. Denmark's longest river meanders through Jutland and finally flows into Randers Fjord.
