Lindenborg Stream and Valley

Lindenborg Stream rises from a spring in the valley near the village of Nysum, south of Rold Forest. The same spring is also the source of Simested Stream, which flows south. Lindenborg Stream is 47 km long and drains an area of around 225 km². The stream and its surroundings are protected along the stretch through Rold Forest and onwards through Gravlev Valley.

On its way through the forest from Rold to Røde Mølle, the stream follows its natural, unregulated course. Here, it winds through dense, lush woodland with ash, alder, willow and other trees that thrive in wet habitats. Further downstream, the stream passes the restored Gravlev Lake, which is an important part of the valley’s natural landscape.

Along the way, Lindenborg Stream is fed by many of the well-known springs of Himmerland – including Gravlev Spring. The clean spring water helps give the stream its clear water and rich insect and invertebrate life, making the area especially interesting for nature lovers.

In Gravlev Valley, Lindenborg Stream was previously regulated, but the Danish Nature Agency has restored the stream to its old, more natural course. This has brought new life to the valley and created better conditions for plants, animals and visitors who want to experience the stream valley up close.

Lindenborg Stream and Valley is a wonderful place to discover the quieter side of Himmerland’s nature – with gently flowing water, green forest edges and landscapes that invite calm, reflection and small discoveries along the way.
