Bridle paths in Vejle River Valley
Experience the beautiful and hilly ice age-landscape around Vejle and Vejle River Valley on horseback. It’s an experience for both children and adults, beginners and experienced riders.
There are bridle routes and paths in almost all public forests and natural areas. Experience the beautiful nature on the routes in Ryeholm and Munkebjerg forests on the outskirts of Vejle or venture further inland and check out Randbøl Hede, the largest inland moor in Denmark. Here you will find bridle routes criss-crossing the spectacular landscape. At the exhibition center Kirstinelyst there is accommodation for both you and your horse. The place has a “hay-hotel” and traditional shelters, where you can spend the night. In close proximity you’ll find Fredrikshåb Plantage which has several bridle routes.
