Editing Transport in Denmark (section)

===Waterways===
Waterways have historically and traditionally been crucial to local transportation in Denmark proper. Especially the [[Gudenå]] river-system in central Jutland, has played an important role. The waterways were navigated by wooden [[barge]]s and later on [[steamboat]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kulturarv.dk/1001fortaellinger/en_GB/the-towpath-along-the-gudenaaen-river|title=The towpath along the Gudenåen River|publisher=The Heritage Agency of Denmark (Danish agency for Culture)|website=1001 stories of Denmark|access-date=4 October 2014}}</ref> A few historical steamboats are still in operation, like the [[SS Hjejlen]] from 1861 at [[Silkeborg]].

There is a 160&nbsp;km natural canal through the shallow [[Limfjorden]] in northern Jutland, linking the [[North Sea]] to the [[Kattegat]].

Many waterways has formerly been redirected and led through manmade canals in the 1900s, but mainly for agricultural purposes and not to facilitate transportation on any major scale. Several cities have manmade canals used for transportation and traffic purposes. Of special mention are the [[:Category:Canals in Copenhagen|canals of Copenhagen]] and the [[Odense Canal]], ferrying large numbers of both tourists and local citizens.<ref>[http://www.worldcanals.com/english/denmark.html World Canals - Denmark.].
