Hærvejen

Hærvejen takes you past some of the most interesting places in Danish history. In this area, you will find, among other things, UNESCO World Heritage in Jelling, the iconic Bronze Age burial mound in Egtved, and the bridge that ensured the Vikings crossed the Vejle River Valley dry-shod in Ravning.

Bindeballestien

Bindeballestien connects Vejle and Billund, following the old railway line through the Vejle River Valley. In Bindeballe, you take a trip back in time, where the original merchant’s shop from 1897 and the station buildings from the same year still stand today.

Coast to Coast

The Coast to Coast Trail crosses Jutland from the coast in Vejle at Vejle’s waterfront to the coast at Bålvandshuk. The hiking route must be the route of the river valleys. Here, the beautiful river valleys weave into hilly landscapes.
