Navigating other rivers

Southwest Jutland has a number of large rivers where sailing is possible, including the rivers Ribe Å, Varde Å and Sneum Å. There are also numerous medium-sized and smaller rivers and streams, such as Holsted Å and Holme Å, that run through areas of great natural beauty.

Canoeing down a river can be a wonderful outdoor experience for everyone, including school children. Canoeing trips on the rivers in Denmark have become popular with many. This has meant that certain restrictions have had to be imposed – not only for nature’s sake, but for the sake of all those who use the rivers.
