The Gudenå or Gudenåen (pronounced [ˈkuˀðn̩ˌɔˀn̩]), is Denmark's longest river and runs through the central parts of the Jutlandic peninsula. An anglicized version of the name often seen is 'The River Guden'. The Gudenåen has its spring in Tinnet Krat, Vejle Municipality (between Nørre Snede and Tørring-Uldum) and flows a total of 149 kilometres (93 mi) to Randers Fjord in Randers, on a northward course which takes it through the central parts of Jutland. On its way, the river traverses the relatively high lying region of Søhøjlandet, through the lakes of Naldal Sø, Vestbirk Sø, Mossø, Gudensø, Rye Mølle Sø, Birksø, Julsø, Borre Sø, Brassø, Silkeborg Langsø and Sminge Sø before it empties in Randers Fjord; a long inlet of the Kattegat sea. It is fed by numerous streams and wetlands along the way. The Gudenåen came into existence some 15,000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, when melting ice and glacial streams carved out its bed. The river shelters many species of animals and parts of its course are to be protected under the regulations of Natura 2000.

Langkaer Gymnasium - STX, HF & IB World School (formerly Langkær Gymnasium) was a secondary school and gymnasium in Tilst, Denmark. The school opened in 1975 and effectively closed in 2018 when it merged with Aarhus Tech. In 2014, the school had over 900 students enrolled, primarily between the ages of 15 and 19. The student body consisted of 30 classes divided between three years, with 10 new classes beginning each year. This made it the largest school of its type in Aarhus. At the time of its closure, Langkaer Gymnasium offered a 3 year matriculation examination (STX) program within four main branches: natural sciences, political sciences, linguistics and music. The school's 2 year Higher Preparatory Examination (HF) program was offered from 1975-1978 and again from 1989 onwards. Beginning in 2011, the school also offered a 2-year International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.Langkaer Gymnasium was a financially independent educational institution under the Danish state. It taught many students from the western area of Aarhus in addition to those from neighboring towns such as Galten, Hammel, Sabro and Mundelstrup. Compared to other gymnasiums in the greater Aarhus area with very limited diversity, Langkaer Gymnasium's student body, particularly after 2010, consisted of an increasing percentage of students from minority backgrounds. Controversial policies which divided students by their ethnic background gained significant national and international media attention in 2016. This controversy caused a rapid decline in student enrolment which eventually led to the school's closure.
