På Jyllands højderyg, udpringer to af Danmarks største åer - Skjernåen og Gudenåen - i samme dalstrøg med få hundrede meters afstand. Samme sted krydser Hærvejen ådalen midt i vandskellet som kaldes det store Vandskel.
Gudenåen starter i et kildeområde umiddelbart øst for vandskellet.
Skjernåen starter i en brunvandet sø umiddelbart vest for vandskellet.
On the ridge of Jutland, two of Denmark's largest rivers - Skjernåen and Gudenåen - originate in the same valley with a few hundred meters distance. In the same place, Hærvejen crosses the river valley in the middle of the watershed which is called the Great Watershed.
The river Gudenåen starts in a spring area immediately east of the watershed.
Skjernåen starts in a brown water lake immediately west of the watershed
