context_page_description: Grejs River is an approximately 22-kilometre-long river in Vejle Municipality in Denmark. Its source is Fårup Lake, south of the village of Jelling. It starts by heading east through a tunnel valley, then turns south to run through Grejs Valley, the largest gorge in Denmark, until it reaches the city of Vejle. North of Vejle, it splits into two branches, Omløbsåen and Mølleåen. Omløbsåen runs west around the city centre to meet Vejle River, while Mølleåen flows through the city and empties into Vejle River just south of the city centre.
context_section_description: A section of the Grejs River runs through Grejs Valley (Danish: Grejsdalen), the largest gorge in Denmark. The gorge is about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) long and 50 to 70 metres (160 to 230 ft) deep. The gorge's cliffs are primarily travertine and limestone, some of which has been quarried as a building material. The traditional churches in nearby Hornstrup, Hover, and Jelling, as well as the modern Grejs Church, are built with Grejs Valley stone.
