You can kayak on Denmark's only river, but remember that you need a sailing permit for the stretch between Tørring and Klostermølle (the southernmost part of the Gudenå). Sailing is permitted from June 16th to December 31st. You can order your guest permit at this link. You can order your guest permit on this link.
