Skjern River, River system in western Jutland, Denmark
The Skjern River stretches 94 kilometers through central Jutland, flowing from Tinnet Krat to Ringkøbing Fjord with a basin covering 2,100 square kilometers.
Danish authorities conducted extensive river straightening and wetland drainage operations during the 1960s to increase agricultural land productivity around the delta region.
The river supports traditional cattle grazing practices and provides recreational activities for local communities and visitors throughout western Jutland.
Fishing permits are required for angling in the river's four designated zones, which offer different water depths and conditions for catching salmon.
The river system underwent Denmark's largest nature restoration project, resulting in the return of thousands of wild salmon to its waters annually.
