Kongeå, Small river in Southern Jutland, Denmark
The Kongeå extends over 50 kilometers from southeast of Vejen to the North Sea, flowing through tidal mudflats and sandbanks.
From 1864 to 1920, the Kongeå marked the border between Denmark and Germany, following its earlier role as a customs boundary.
Archaeological sites near the river include preserved burial mounds such as Skelhøj, revealing the prehistoric settlements of the region.
Canoeing expeditions span from Andst Bro to Kongeåslusen at the Wadden Sea, with multiple launching sites and camping facilities.
The river appears in the Heimskringla chronicle, documenting a 1043 battle where King Magnus I defeated Slavic forces in southern Denmark.
