Suså River

The Suså River is a waterway in Næstved Municipality on Zealand that ranks among Denmark's larger river systems. It winds through green landscapes and links several towns and settlements along its course.

In the Middle Ages, this river served as a key transport route where barges carried goods between Karrebæksminde and inland settlements. This role made the region an important trading hub during that period.

The river passes by Herlufsholm boarding school and flows through Næstved town center, linking educational institutions with the surrounding communities.

The river is excellent for canoeing, with equipment available to rent from local providers along the banks. The best time to visit is during summer months when the water is calm and the landscape is at its most verdant.

The river is home to one of only three Danish populations of thick-shelled freshwater mussels, making it a special habitat for aquatic species. These rare mussels are an indicator of relatively intact river conditions.
