Lake Rørbæk is fed by the Skjern River, which rises 2.5 km southeast of the lake. Kulsø lies slightly west of Lake Rørbæk. Lake Rørbæk was formed in a dead-end sinkhole in the Tunnel Valley. Sand and gravel deposited in the dead ice formed several small islands, most of which are merely elevations on the lakeshore. [2] On the eastern part of the Kælderbanke ridge, south of the lake, there is a 15 × 6 m cellar, 1.5 m deep, made of boulders. [3] These are the remains of the Gammel Rørbæk farmstead, which was burned down by Swedish troops in 1657 during the First Charles Gustav War and was not rebuilt. [ 1 ] A few hundred meters south of Kælderbanke lies Ballesbækgård, where there is a small museum. [ 1 ] The lake forms the border between the municipalities of Ikast-Brande and Vejle.

Rørbæk Sø is not the only attraction in this area. The Tinnet Krat forest is a wonderful place to go hiking.

The source of the Gudenå, Denmark's longest river, is what you'll find here at this spring. What makes this spot truly unique is that the source is located in the same area as the source of the Skjern River, the country's largest river by water volume. It's a fascinating experience to see two of Denmark's most important rivers begin their journeys just a few hundred meters apart.

The rather overgrown Gudenå stream separates the regions of Southern Denmark and Central Jutland. If you look closely, you can also see an almost equally overgrown border sign for Vejle Municipality.

Here you will find a lovely spot for a break with a view of the lake. Rørbæk Sø was formed during the ice age. It is surrounded by forest and steep slopes with heather and juniper bushes.

This is where the Gudenå begins its almost 160-kilometer journey. Denmark's longest river meanders through Jutland and finally flows into Randers Fjord.
