Vejle offers nature in a class of its own.

Vejle is situated in some of Denmark's most beautiful and contrasting natural landscapes. From the beech forests along Vejle Fjord to the Grejs Valley and Vejle River Valley, which wind through the countryside. Deep lakes lie idyllically in the rolling terrain, and the Ancient Road (Hærvejen) runs through it all, from the source of the Gudenå River at Tinnet Krat to the plantations and open landscape with dunes at Randbøl Hede.
