IS VEJLE DENMARK'S CUTEST TOWN: Danish Travel to Vejle, Denmark

IS VEJLE DENMARK'S CUTEST TOWN: Danish Travel to Vejle, Denmark
#Danmark #Denmark #Vejle
In this video, we explore the lovely town of Vejle, Denmark. It’s quite possibly the cutest Danish town in Denmark.
Since our earliest videos, we have gotten comments that we have to visit this Danish city. So we booked a train to finally visit Vejle. We decided to stay at the Best Wester Torvehallerne and highly recommend it.
Mike talks about the origins of Vejle and it’s gorgeous Rådhus or City Hall. The site where City Hall stands today was actually a Dominican monastery until the 1500’s, and in fact the bell that called the friars to mass is now the bell in the tower today!
The granite sculptures of Vejle City Hall were installed in the 1950’s to represent the 4 occupations that define Vejle - trade, crafts, agriculture and industry.
Next we start the trip to Vejle with a walk down the heart of the city - the pedestrian street called Vejle Gågade.
The church is a gorgeous structure that was built in the period between 1240 and 1280 which makes it the oldest building in Vejle. Saint Nikolai’s Church has been renovated and restored several times throughout the ages, and includes part of the original northern wall. Our friend Daniel explains the sinister history of the walls of Sct. Nikolai Kirke and what the 23 tiny holes were originally for.
We move on and visit Vejle harbor, one of the most picturesque places in the city. The old industrial harbor sits on Vejle fjord.
While at Vejle fjord, we check out some of the most interesting architecture in Denmark.
Fjordenhus and Bølgen, or The Wave, are equally striking with dramatic designs to house luxury apartments facing down the fjord.
It was surprising to us that the pedestrian street and shopping district of Vejle were about a kilometer from the beautiful harbor and fjord, but it makes sense given the city’s history as an industrial town until recent decades.
The city grew around the confluence of the Vejle and Grejs Rivers and not the harbor and Vejle River provided power for the city’s textile mills. They even appear on the city coat of arms.
The Vejle river also marks the southern end of Gågade, with a number of cafes and restaurants and a large shopping center. There, we returned to walk along shop-lined streets and enjoy a nice weekend stroll with locals
Next we check out a portal to old street of Vejle to see how the city has continued to grow since its founding in the Middle Ages. Then we walk to one of the coolest streets in Vejle, Midtpunkt.
Just past Midtpunkt we reached the top of Gågade at Nørretorv, where one branch of the Grejs river now runs along the street.
One thing we love about living in Denmark is seeing new Danish cities like Vejle!

Totally agree on that👍🏻

As a comment on the "bad Danish", all I can say is; practise makes perfect! Your "skål!" proves it! ;) Cheers boys!

[@RobeTrotting]

Thanks Don 😃Cheers !

When in Vejle, it's a must to drive from Vejle to Jelling through Grejs and Grejsdalen... Or going a bit west to Vejle Ådal - some of the most beautiful nature in Jutland :D

[@Fiskce]

true shit

[@barneygumble2630]

As an Irishman that went to college in vejle I have fond memories of the town and the people

[@RobeTrotting]

Oh that’s so great, it’s such a charming town - would have been a nice place to go to college 😃

[@barneygumble2630]

@@RobeTrotting indeed it was I have very fond memories of the people, the pubs and your overall standard of living and happiness. Danish people can seem aloof but when you get to know them they are amazing. One thing I learnt from them was being punctual. In Ireland we aren’t that punctual but I soon learnt that it was poor manners to turn up late. 29 years since I left Denmark that punctuality has never left me and I am spot on time for anything and usually too early.

[@saranissen6210]

Nice video. You could maybe visit Ribe next, it's Denmarks oldest city.

Absolutely. Ribe is the real deal, and as someone who grew up there and now lives near Vejle, I am almost ashamed you "wasted" your time looking at that itsy-bitsy church :-D For a proper cathedral, medieval witch hunts and hangings, a proper river (3 actually) running through the town, really old buildings and houses, and much more, Ribe is the place to go.

You guys have got to go see some of the churches where the murals have been restores. Most churches dating to before the reformation had murals all over the inside in bright colours and ... sometimes raunchy imagery. Unlike in most other European churches the Danish (and to an extend scandinavian churches as a whole) murals survived, they were covered in the wake of the reformation and specifically the 17th and 18th century but many were able to be restored in the 19th and 20th century.

[@RobeTrotting]

Oh, great tip! We'll have to look for some that have restored murals - we saw a few with a Google search. Sounds really interesting to explore that art history 😀🇩🇰

[@BenjaminVestergaard]

Vejle is such a comfortable city to visit, but it's also surrounded by some crazy beautiful nature. Catch the train going towards Herning and you'll see some very nice valleys just as you get out of town. I'm from Silkeborg area which also has some beautiful nature, especially if you choose to explore the lakes by canoe in summer, but I was stunned the first time I arrived to Vejle from the Herning side by train.

[@Zandain]

Vejle is a fine city, but my personal favorite, is Viborg ❤ You've got the words guys, now you need the ease, to get the flow of the language Hello from Hundested 🌸🌱

You should visit Horsens it's 30 mins south of Vejle. Theres a lot of super interesting museums as well as architecture. Also theres a pretty awesome medieval festival in Horsens every year in August.. Not this year though with covid and all

[@Jaybuilderjay]

for sure..also you can go inside an very old but little burial mound behind bygholm sø..oh and visit kystens perle on the other side of bygholm sø..also the old jailhouse (Fængslet) is worth a visit

30 min south of Vejle is Fredericia 😉 sooo try NORTH of Vejle to go to Horsens 🙂

I will try to go there next time we have a small hollyday! And your danish is getting super good! I think it is at least 😁

[@annettedallnielsen2516]

I love your videos 👍🏻. If you are interested in VERY old Danish history, you should visit Koldinghus castel in Kolding, the city of Ribe (Denmarks oldest city) and Kongernes Jelling (a inside and outside musserum in Jelling that tells the story about the danish Viking age and how over danish monarchy is the oldest in the world because ower Queen Margrethe II can track her lineage back to some of the Viking kings. They are alle in Jylland and are all dated back since before Columbus discovered America so older then the oldest written America history (except for the native American's history of course) 😊 Once we took an Australien to Koldinghus and she found i mind blowing to stand in a building older than her entier contryes written history, so maby you would have that same mind blowing experience 😊👍🏻

[@RobeTrotting]

Thank you so much for watching and the sweet comment Annette. We have Ribe high on our list of places to visit for leisure and to create a video. We actually started a series to examine why and how Denmark has existed and thrived over the centuries despite setbacks and obvious advantages that some other nations have. For the first video we went to Jelling and talked about the ingenuity and adaptive qualities of Gorm and Harald and what their legacies mean to Denmark as a country. Here’s the link if you’re interested 😃🇩🇰 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6PZdGipmtFrqZo

I visited Vejle a lot, in later years due to my job and when I was a kid when we visited relatives in the small village Stouby not far from Vejle. My favorite area is Vejle Ådal west of town, with its natural beauty. If you haven't already you should definitely visit. Not least Ravninge Enge and the surrounding area is beautiful

You shouls come to Bornholm- It has a lot of history and culture. Love watching your videos btw.

[@sarah4hp]

Your Danish wasn't bad enough to warrant a warning guys 😂🤣😂 Be proud that you are learning and practicing, and that you have the bravery to use it even though it won't come out perfectly. Danish is HARD if you haven't grown up with it, and the pronunciation isn't exactly intuitive or natural sounding if you are not used to æ, ø and å etc. So yeah... be kind to yourselves! Also, thanks for showing the beauty of Vejle. I have never visited myself, but it looks gorgeous and the history of the town was fascinating! I am glad you are doing towns like this, and I definitely recommend you visit Aalborg where I used to live while studying at the University there. It is a gorgeous city with a lot to see, and I would love to see the kind of history you might be able to find as it is such a major city. Odense, the town of Hans Christian Andersen, would probably be really interesting for you as well!

That is awesome. I live about 12 kilometres North of Vejle, in Hedensted. But I have gone to school in Vejle and work there now. Glad you guys liked it 😍😍

I love how the tone of your voices change when you speek danish. Both of you speak in a higher pitch when speaking danish. :-)

[@RobeTrotting]

Oh wow, I never noticed but you're right. I think we have to get into a different mindset - which is also why we sound so bad when we try to insert one Danish word/pronunciation in an English sentence (not that our regular Danish is THAT good haha).

[@laurahn]

Next time you are in Vejle, you should take the short train or bus ride to Jelling. The old Vikingtown were the first royalty lived and Harald bluetooth made denmark christian. It is a small cosy town with a big history, a nice museum, and In the end of may one of the biggest danish music festivals takes place every year. Not long from Jelling is Givskud that has one of the best Zoo's in denmark.

Even though Denmark is a quite secular country - I recommend taking a trip of the danish churches and monasteries. Northern Jutland (where I'm from) has a number of wonderful examples; - Den tilsandede kirke (The sanded church, Skagen) - Børglum Kloster (Børglum Monastery, Wonderful place - highly recommended) - Vitskøl Kloster (Vitskøl Monastery) - Gråbrødrekloster (Gray-brother monastery, which was found by accident when digging out for a new building site in Aalborg) - Budolfi Kirke (Budolfi Church, Aalborg - which has a monastery attached next to it.

We've done several travels around Denmark (we are danes, and feel that our chrildren also needs the knowledge), there are a lot of beautifull places, Ribe is exceptional, Ærø (where we had some of our honeymoon 25 years ago), a place similar in name, which is staggering is Vejlerne, that's in the north of jutland. There are also still the old beach fishing boats in the nothern jutland, and vadehavet where you can drive to Mandø on Låningsvejen, and and and, there are so many places :-)

I like your video but I still think Vejle is boring even if I lived there for a while. maybe try aarhus who has a lot of history or Fredericia which has an interesting cultural history. it is the place where french refugees setled after been given the town by the king. There is a hotel close to the harbour, Hotel Postgården, who has a charming interiour and delicious cakes. Ebeltoft is an old and charming town with varied museums.

This was actually a surpricingly good video, you relly did some research. Your visit here must have been very recently, as "Rådhustorvet" in front of the old city hall have just been renovated to this looks, there used to be steps, where those statues originally were placed. Next time you are here, take a trip to Skyttehuset and the Northerm Forrest. Nature is one of the things, that makes Vejle beautiful. Unfortunately a lot of old buildings in the center have been demolished since the 1970's, which means loss of a lot of history.

Hint to learning how to pronounce, Æ, Ø, Å.... (my advice anyway....).. You know the song, "Hey Yah" with... Ohh I forgot.., "black eyed peas" ... or maybe "Outcast"... Anyway.. the "Hey Yeah" chorus is perfect training those vocal chords.. 👍😁

All I can say about the 'bad danish' is more that english is more flowey in the words. Danish contains a lot of 'half-stops' so to speak in a word. like Dannebrog. Danne Brog. I think if 'American' was a danish word, it's be Ameri Can. Cuz we do have a tendency to have that half-waythrough re-adding of pressure to a lot of words more than 4 or so letters. so if you think you might be a bit 'heavy' on the word, you might just barely be giving it enough 'pressure', so to speak.

What you also should have done was to rent a Bicycle and drive West trough Vejle Ådal (Vejle River Wally) towards Bindeballe and Vandel, then you would have seen the true "alps" of Denmark.

Ah yes, we saw them from the waterfront (at least I think so) and from the train as we approached - gorgeous! :)

The last part sounds a bit Trump-like 😝 When you say, »Tak, fordi I så med (Thank you for watching along)!«, it sounds like: »Tak, fordi I så mig (Thank you seeing me)!«

[@RobeTrotting]

😂😂😂 How dare you Mads! hahaha

@@RobeTrotting // But 'mødes' sounded very Danish 👌

Hvad siger i til at tage et kik på Fredericia en dag ?

[@rikkeipsen7245]

I'm from Kolding (approximately 18,6 miles from Vejle), and that is a equally beautiful city to visit. Mostly famous for Koldinghus Castle and the mall. But it's so much more. It's absolutely beautiful and worth a visit

[@BoHolbo]

MAAN! You came by my town, and I didn’t even get to run into you guys? Hopefully I’ll get my chance one day..
