Sagnet om Gudenåen. Sagnet siger, at Gudenåen har fået sit navn efter en ustyrlig fyr, der hed Gudar. Han kidnappede pigen Else fra hendes fars hus i Tinnet Krat, hvor åen har sit udspring. Gudar bandt pigen til en kærre og for at forvirre forfølgerne, kørte han i indviklede sving og slyngninger. Men pigens far søgte hjælp hos en klog mand i Tørring, som kaldte bække og kilder sammen og bad dem om at vise vej. Vandet nåede Gudar ved Randers Fjord. Gudar og hesten druknede, mens den skønne Else slap fri.
Legend of the River Guden. Legend has it that the River Guden has had its name after an wild guy, called Gudar.
