The Vejle Å is an approximately 32-kilometer-long river in Denmark, originating from Lake Engelsholm, flowing through the picturesque Vejle Ådal valley to its mouth in Vejle Fjord, also passing through Vejle. It is particularly known for sea trout fishing and opportunities for canoe and kayak tours.

The stream is your constant companion here: sometimes it runs right alongside the path, sometimes you only hear it from the undergrowth. A quiet, unagitated forest that recommends itself through its tranquility. At the information boards, there is a lot of interesting information about the local flora and fauna.

On the bank, you have good chances of spotting a kingfisher, dipper, or grey wagtail, while in the stream itself, the red-spotted trout stands – in autumn, even sea trout come here from Vejle Fjord to spawn.

The Vejler Kunstmuseum is located in the city center and presents both classic Danish modernism and current contemporary art. A special highlight for visitors: Admission is completely free for everyone. The Vejle Art Museum invites everyone to art experiences that stem from life and everyday life. The themes are recognizable and offer a different perspective on the world around us. Sometimes it is big, sometimes it is small, but there is always something that leaves its mark! In the permanent exhibitions, you can experience, among other things, a large collection of graphic works, art that challenges our conventions about the body, constructed realities of the Golden Age, portrait art in various forms, and much more. https://www.visitvejle.de/vejle/reiseplanung/vejle-kunstmuseum-gdk1077812

The Town Hall is a striking, historic landmark in the center of Vejle. The current neo-Gothic brick building was constructed between 1878 and 1879 according to the designs of architect Carl Lendorf and later restored by the famous architect Martin Nyrop. The current structure is already the fourth town hall in the city's history. The very first town hall from 1460 stood on Gammel Torv and burned down in 1530. It is located on a historically significant site where a Dominican monastery stood in the Middle Ages. A special feature is the town hall bell, which rings daily. It is the same bell that, in the Middle Ages, called the monks of the monastery to mass. It bears a Latin inscription, translated as: "I call the living, I awaken the dead." On the first floor of the town hall is the city council's meeting room. Furthermore, due to its elegant halls and romantic ambiance, the building is an extremely popular venue for civil weddings. The building is located directly on the city's lively pedestrian zone on Town Hall Square. Directly in front of the main entrance is a flat, ground-level water fountain, which serves as a meeting point, especially in summer. https://www.visitvejle.de/vejle/reiseplanung/das-rathaus-von-vejle-gdk607929
