context_page_description: Vejle is a town in Denmark, in the southeast of the Jutland Peninsula at the head of Vejle Fjord, where the Vejle River and Grejs River and their valleys converge. It is the site of the councils of Vejle Municipality and the Region of Southern Denmark. The city has a population of 57,655, making it the ninth largest city in Denmark. Vejle Municipality has a population of 111,743. The city is part of the Triangle Region, which includes the neighbouring cities of Kolding and Fredericia.
  Vejle is most known for its forested hills, fjord, harbour, shopping, pedestrian mall, and windmill.
context_section_description: Historically speaking, Vejle's development has been guided by the city's central location in the country and its location on Vejle Fjord.  Vejle's pedestrian mall today runs along the same course as some of the earliest paths through town – glass panels set into Torvegade allow pedestrians to see the historical market road a few meters under the current street surface.
  Highway E45 passes close to downtown Vejle on the Vejle Fjord Bridge. Vejle is also located on Primary Route 28, and the Mid-Jutland Highway (Midjyske Motorvej, Primary Route 18) from Herning.
  Vejle Station, also known as Vejle Transit Centre (Vejle Trafikcenter), provides 9 city bus lines to various neighbourhoods, as well as national and international coach and train services.  Vejle Station first opened in 1868, and is today a central station in the Danish train network.  However, the station is currently the subject of political debate, due to a desire on the part of some politicians to reduce train travel time between Odense and Århus to one hour.  This may mean that a second bridge will be built over Vejle Fjord, bypassing Vejle Station.
  Vejle Harbour, in its current location, was inaugurated in 1827. In the years following World War II, it grew to become the second largest port in Denmark after the Port of Copenhagen. Up until 1932, the steamboats Hvidbjerg (named after a local seaside community) and Jeppe Jensen (named after the harbour's founder) plied the waters between Vejle Harbour and Munkebjerg, Tirsbæk, Ulbækhus, and Fakkegrav. The harbour is currently profitable, although there are plans to convert the northern section of the harbour into a park and residential area, which would reconnect the town with the fjord.  The fjord is also the site of the modern wave-shaped apartment complex known as The Wave (Bølgen).
  Vejle Municipality is part-owner of Denmark's second-largest airport, Billund Airport, located near the Lego Group's headquarters some 30 kilometres (19 miles) from the centre of Vejle.  Airport buses run regularly to Billund Airport from Vejle Transit Centre.
