Skjern River, River system in western Jutland, Denmark
The Skjern River is a river system in western Jutland that flows through varied terrain and creates diverse habitats along its course. Its structure shapes the landscape with changing banks, open water, and adjacent lands.
During the 1960s, Danish authorities carried out extensive straightening and drainage work on the river. These changes continue to shape its appearance and ecological structure today.
The river provides space for traditional activities and draws local people and visitors to spend time along its banks. The landscapes shape everyday life in the region with their natural character.
The river is accessible at various points, with some areas offering better conditions for exploring than others. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather and wet conditions along the banks.
The river system was the focus of one of Denmark's largest nature restoration projects, which allowed wild salmon to return to its waters. This ecological change shows how restored rivers can regain their natural balance.
