A greener holiday

Choose the bike or hiking boots instead of the car

Is there a better way to experience nature, neighborhoods, and villages than on two wheels or on foot? We don’t think so. Therefore, let the car take a holiday while you are on holiday.

Bring your own bike or rent a bike for a day or several at a time. Lace up your hiking boots and go on an adventure in Vejle’s many magical landscapes.

Experience, for example, the monumental glaciers of the past in Munkebjerg Forest and Vejle River Valley, which offer some of the country’s most beautiful views, including at Runkenbjerg and Tørskind Gravel Pit. The Grejsdalstien Trail offers beautiful nature in varied terrain, and at Randbøl Heath and Frederikshåb Plantation, you feel transported to another land where trolls and goblins usually live.

Green dining and accommodation

Buy local, it’s globally genius. Support the local community by purchasing your food and drinks locally. In Vejle’s gastro-universe, you will find local specialty shops, farm shops, and restaurants that, for example, are certified with the Organic Eating Label (Det Økologiske Spisemærke).

If you are looking for greener accommodation, you won’t have to search long. Besides choosing a night under the stars in a tent or shelter, several of the area’s hotels and campsites are certified with the Swan label (Svanemærket), Green Key, or Greenstay, ensuring that the climate and your night’s sleep are taken care of.

Look for the green label ‘Green experience’ when you click on the businesses. It indicates that the dining or accommodation place is certified.

Conscious consumption

Help make your consumption more conscious. Many of the businesses you encounter on your holiday in Vejle are working to reduce their climate impact, and several are also focusing on social sustainability, for example, through the Sunflower Program. With ‘Vejle’s Green Guide,’ you can find businesses that focus on the green transition.

Through ReFashion Vejle, you can be shown the way to a sustainable future with fashion. Clothing has a significant impact on the climate, but with recycling, you can help make it a bit greener.

Help accelerate the green transition by demanding, seeking out, and supporting green initiatives.

Save on air travel

Save the flight to Vejle and take public transport. Vejle is a hub for both buses and trains, so you can easily find public transport that suits you.

You can even save the flight to exotic countries if you want to experience wild animals on the savannah. At Givskud Zoo, you can go on an excursion among the world’s wild animals, even among the dinosaurs. You can hear the roar of lions and the howl of wolves, and feel transported to the African steppes and Canadian wilderness without traveling abroad.
