This city walk gives you an opportunity to see some of the most fascinating monuments in Vejle. Amongst them are monuments from the Danish-Austrian-Prussian wars of 1848-50 and 1864. Vejle was occupied by Austrian and Prussian forces in both wars and one Austrian soldier is buried at a cemetery in Vejle as Vejle held a military hospital during the wars.
If you have a coach available we can also visit the war memorials and war graves of the Second World War 1939-45 at the Vejle Northern Cemetery, but it is too far away from the rest of the monuments to walk there. In case you have a particular interest in monuments from specific events or periods the tour will be accomodated to your wishes as far as possible.

Jelling - a guided tour
A guided tour in Jelling is a trip back in time and history. Jelling is home to the Jelling Stone, which is said to be Denmark's baptismal certificate and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In fact, there are two runic stones that Harald Bluetooth raised to remember his parents King Gorm the Old and Queen Thyra. Here, Denmark is described for the first time as a unified country. Therefore, we consider the stones to be Denmark's baptismal certificate.
Right next to the runic stones is the museum Kongernes Jelling, Royal Jelling, a museum that is part of our National Museum. The museum has a very exciting and modern exhibition that tells history with interactive screens. In Jelling there is an obvious focus on Viking history. Go exploring – first on a guided tour, and then on your own in the museum.
Not far from Jelling you find Bindeballe Købmandsgård, an old grocery shop, the Bronze Age burial place of the Egtved girl, the Ravning bridge, Randbøldal which is a beautiful heath area and there are furthermore many stories of beautiful nature and the Ice Age in the Vejle river valley. You can spend a few or many hours - in either case it will be a pleasure to the eye and will entail entertaining stories.
