Guide Service in Vejle & Nearby

Vejle is one of only 100 resilient cities in the world. What do words such as the new sluice, resilient-cooperation, cloud burst street, Resilient street and Resilient house, mean? Learn on this guided walk in Vejle where I'll show you how it all forms Vejle.

Some other Resilient cities are Rome, Los Angeles, Durban and Wellington. As you see, Vejle is part of a prestigious network. Vejle was carefully chosen by the Rockefeller Foundation for its innovative approach to solutions for climate change and global warming, an issue Vejle does a lot to prevent. This will be obvious on this city walk, where we'll pass places that are part of these prevention efforts.

The tour focusing on food and the good stories is a guided bus tour starting in Vejle, from where we drive towards Jelling. We can of course start somewhere else according to your choice.

We visit a traditional old grocery store which is now also a museum. If you are into nostalgia, be sure to make a few purchases at the counter. It's hard not to.

We carry on to the beautiful Nørup Church, an old medieval church restored to its present day's unique look with a Russian style onion dome, which is very unusual for a Danish church.

From Nørup church we go to the UNESCO World Heritage site at Jelling. See the large runic stone where king Harald Bluetooth in the year 965 claimed that he made the Danes Christian. The runic stone is said to hold the birth certificate of Denmark as a nation.

We end our morning with a delicious Viking lunch in one of Jelling's nice cafes, known for its locally produced, high quality food and drink. We might be able to listen a story by the proprietor while having lunch. 

After lunch you will have time to enjoy the historic experience centre Kongernes Jelling, Royal Jelling, before we head back to Vejle.

A guided walk through the old inner city of Vejle will give you a unique experience of the town's history from the first settlements in the early middle ages via a golden era and a blooming commercial life due to industrial gain in the 18th and 19th century and bringing you up to date with new and exciting architecture and a modern city centre.

In the centre of Vejle we will pass the old marketplace where the dominant building is the church Sct. Nicolai. Niccolaus is the saint for the seafarers. The church is the oldest in Vejle and hides secrets especially connected to the northern wall.

Through Foldegade, which in the old days was a small narrow street, where the cattle were fenced in, we walk down to Søndertorv one of the gates for entrance in the old days. I'll talk about the stream passing through Vejle, a stream which is a cornerstone in the history.

We will walk towards the town centre and we will see where trade was done by the big groceries and thereafter continue to the square in front of the old town hall, which was in old times a monastery.

Continuing our walk I shall explain about Orla Lehmann who's name is related to one of the small streets and we will see the sculptures created by Pontus Kjermann. You will hear about the great fire that almost destroyed Vejle.

Walking on we will meet the stream which now again runs through the city center, and through the old streets we will slowly turn back to where we started.

This tour can be prolonged with a walk down to the old railway station, the harbour and more.

With starting point from the DGI huset in Vejle, we will go on a mountain bike tour in Sønderskoven forest. 

You will experience a very beautiful and diverse nature in Vejle city center. We will bike in a speed so everyone can follow along and with instructions along the way, so everybody can go on this mountain biking tour without preconditions. We will of course also test the brand new mountain bike tracks in the forest. 

I guarantee that you will have a fantastic nature experience in the middle of the city. 

The price includes a bike and other equipment.

The price is DKK 500 per person – min. 2 people.

This luxury food tour is made as a tasteful meal of all kinds of Danish foods. The tour will also include non-Danish food, but the main focus will be on food we Danes love. I promise you a fantastic food tour-experience!

Enjoy delicious bread, the Danish open-faced ryebread-sandwich "smørrebrød", gourmet-surprises and of course some of the world famous Danish pastry. And who can say no to tempting wine or beer from a great but small Danish brewery or some classic Danish elderflower drink – just to mention some of the expected highlights.

Stops on the tour and types of food may vary depending on opening hours, but it will at least have 7 different tasting-stops – so you're adviced to start your food tour on an empty stomach. The tour can be made either on foot or by bicycle. The tour starts and ends at the harbour of Vejle.

If you want to do it by coach I will find the best solution for you.
