Skjern Å, the largest river in Denmark by water volume. Denmark has approximately 900 streams with outlet to the sea. Almost half are less than 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) long. 52 of them are over 25 kilometres (16 mi) long and 17 are over 50 kilometres (31 mi) long.
Denmark's largest river measured by water volume, the Skjern River, also emerges in Tinnet Krat, close to the source of Gudenå. The Gudenå or Gudenåen ( pronounced [ˈkuˀðn̩ˌɔˀn̩] ), is Denmark 's longest river and runs through the central parts of the Jutlandic peninsula.
Skjern River (Danish: Skjern Å) is the largest river in Denmark, in terms of volume. The river has its spring in Tinnet Krat in central Jutland, very close to Denmark's longest river, the Gudenå. It drains about one tenth of Denmark and flows into the Ringkøbing Fjord - a lagoon and former bay of the North Sea.

It can be thought of as a list of the biggest rivers on Earth, measured by a specific metric. For context, the volume of an Olympic-size swimming pool is 2,500 m 3 (88,000 cu ft). The average flow rate at the mouth of the Amazon is sufficient to fill more than 83 such pools each second.
However, the path along the river's deepest point is fractal in the same way that the coastline is. Even when detailed maps are available, the length measurement is not always clear. A river may have multiple channels, or anabranches. The length may depend on whether the center or the edge of the river is measured.
Between Sorø and Næstved it runs through Lake Tystrup-Bavelse, the 8th largest lake in Denmark and the site of its first natural park. [ 1 ] The Suså was created by glacial ice and meltwater during the Last Ice Age , c. 15,000 years ago.
Aarhus River (Danish: Århus Å) is a 40-kilometre (25 mi) long river, in eastern Jutland, Denmark.. The river flows through the large river valley of Aarhus Ådal. The valley itself, stretches from Silkeborg to the coastal city of Aarhus, but the Aarhus River only runs through the easternmost parts. [1]
