"About 20 minutes walk away from Vejle centre, Himmelpind gives a glimpse into the history of Vejle and a bygone era.
The hilltop offers a view of the Fjord and the Bridge in the distance, the drone of vehicles are still audible if one listens closely.
The hike up is easy and the path is clear, any forks can be ignored as it all leads up to Himmelpind."
Mirza Naseeb
"Nice place with good view, but tree tops would be good to clean.
Some benches and places for picnic.
Be ready to reach many steps or hike uphill."
Pavlo Zh
"Nice walk and great views across Vejle but not as nice as it used to be,seems to have focused more on MTB riding than walking now"
