Suså River

The Suså River extends 83 kilometers through Zealand, forming Denmark's fifth-largest river system with a basin covering 1,170 square kilometers.

During the Middle Ages, the river served as a primary transportation route, with barges carrying goods between Karrebæksminde and inland settlements.

The river flows past Herlufsholm boarding school and through the center of Næstved, connecting educational institutions with local communities.

Visitors need special license plates for canoeing activities, which are included when renting equipment from local providers along the river.

The river supports one of only three Danish populations of thick-shelled freshwater mussels and contains twenty different fish species.
