    The Randbøldal Museum

    9.24 km

    Jutland's First Industrial Village
    Experience the museum's permanent exhibition on the history of Randbøldal. In the exhibition, you get the complete story of industrial production in Randbøldal from 1732 to 1983.

    Learn how an uninhabited rural area on the edge of the heath became Jutland's first industrial village, how Randbøldal transformed from a paper mill to a textile factory in 1846, and who had the greatest influence on the development.

    Play with Water
    In the outdoor water experiments, you can get a sense of what forms the basis for the entire adventure in Randbøldal, namely water power.

    Here, children and adults can try to overcome the weight of water and lift water using simple and historical techniques such as Archimedes' screw, well winch, tipping well, treadwheel, and a complete lock system.

    The water experiments are closed during the winter months when the museum is seasonally closed.

    Open in Weaving and Paper Workshops
    In the workshops, it's possible to try out the old crafts under the guidance of volunteers during events. Find out when the workshops are open at vejlemuseerne.dk/randbøldalmuseet.

    ---

    During the period from October 2024 to May 2025, the museum is seasonally closed. However, it is open during events.

    Vorbasse - Little city near Billund

    11.3 km

    Small town, big history
    That's the best way to introduce Vorbasse. For despite its size, the town's history is exceptional by Danish, or even Northern European, standards. While we can only guess the ancient history of other towns and cities,

    Vorbasse's past has been painstakingly mapped out through some of the most comprehensive archaeological excavations ever performed in Denmark. People have lived here since the first century BC.

    Over the last eleven or twelve hundred years, people have inhabited eight different villages in the immediate vicinity. Vorbasse itself has had its current location since the twelfth century. This is something we know for sure thanks to the excavations performed from 1974 to 1987. Never before have there been such extensive excavations, and probably never will be again. The uninterrupted history that was unearthed is so utterly unique that it is the subject of study throughout Europe. 

    Vorbasse has had a market since the Middle Ages and today it is one of the largest in Denmark. It is held over a long weekend, attracting up to a quarter of a million people to Vorbasse, where they can trade, barter and buy to their hearts' content. It was here that the legendary wanderer "Professor" Labri christened the village pond "Vorbasse Naval Dockyards". And appropriately enough, a warship – or at least a miniature replica – can be seen drifting across the beautifully restored pond. 

    Vorbasse has a large and very popular campsite, a large school, a swimming pool, an inn and a newly built sports and leisure centre. Not to mention a wonderful museum with exhibitions on the area's rich ancient history and the wanderers and market which have had such profound influence on Vorbasse's present-day identity.

    Engelsholm Castle

    11.75 km

    The History of Engelsholm Castle

    The Renaissance castle Engelsholm is beautifully situated on the shores of Engelsholm Lake, surrounded by forest and park. The castle was built by Knud Brahe - the brother of Tycho Brahe - in 1592. The very regular building is rectangular in plan with square towers featuring onion domes embedded in each corner.

    The inspiration was drawn from the castle Ancy-le-Franc in Burgundy, France. In the 1730s, Gerhard de Lichtenberg began an extensive restoration and remodeling of the castle. He added the distinctive onion domes, constructed a large three-winged farmyard, and laid out the park in the French style. The castle still contains furnishings with painted Chinese scenes from the renovation.

    Gerhard de Lichtenberg also left his mark on the nearby Nørup Church, which belonged to Engelsholm Castle from 1586 to 1935. The Romanesque church is richly decorated with Baroque-style furnishings and, like the castle, features onion-shaped domes.

    The castle burned down in 1952 but was immediately restored to its original form.

    The Recent History of Engelsholm Castle

    Since 1940, Engelsholm Castle has been operated as a folk high school and is today owned by the independent institution "Engelsholm Højskole." The castle is not open to the public, but it can be viewed from the outside from the southern part of the park. In addition to the other buildings, which regularly host public events such as classical concerts. Click on the link to read more - Engelsholm Castle events | Music & Culture.

    Surroundings of the Castle

    The castle is located in beautiful surroundings on the shores of Engelsholm Lake, surrounded by forest and park. The castle park was likely established by Knud Brahe in the years after it was built, thus as an herb and rose garden.

    In addition to the symmetrically laid out beds, lawns, and ponds, the park features clipped trees and bushes as well as terrain shifts in the form of embankments and staircases. The park is now 6 hectares in size. The main elements in Engelsholm's park are the terraces with clipped trees and the moat. The castle on an island in a moat at the edge of a larger lake is also something quite special for Engelsholm. The park is open to the public year-round.

    The Grave of the Egtved Girl

    14.56 km

    The Egtved Girl was discovered on Thursday, February 24, 1921. Farmer Peter Platz was removing the last remnants of a burial mound on his field when he came across a heavily carved oak trunk.

    The excavation was conducted by the National Museum, and thus the oak coffin was subsequently transported to Copenhagen. When opened, it revealed a cowhide bag at the top. Beneath it lay a woven blanket of brown wool, and beneath the blanket lay the deceased herself—a 160 cm tall young girl, her semi-long hair almost concealing her face, and a small bronze earring.

    The girl later became known as the Egtved Girl.

    Belt plate of bronze and cord skirt
    She lay on her back, her skin well-preserved, but no bones remained. She wore a brown wool blouse, and on each wrist was a bronze ring. Under the blouse, the iconic bronze belt plate could be discerned. A skirt made of twisted brown woolen cords was wrapped twice around her waist.

    At her left shin, there was a bundle of clothes containing the burnt bones of a 5-6-year-old child. At her feet stood a birch bark container with remnants of a kind of sweet honeyed beer.

    A flowering yarrow in the coffin indicated that the burial took place in the summer months. The girl died at the age of approximately 16-18 years.

    The World of The Egtved Girl: A new experience center in progress
    The Vejle Museums are actively working on realizing a large new museum project that aims to tell the fascinating story of the Egtved Girl. Right there, where she was laid to rest on a summer day 3,500 years ago.

    The entire original Egtved find is exhibited at the National Museum in Copenhagen. So, you'll need to visit the capital to see Egtved Girl herself.

    Engsøen - Grindsted Lake - Beautiful lake not far from Billund

    Swimming in Grindsted Engsø is not permitted. This was decided in consultation with the then official medical institution, among other reasons, due to the sediment's mercury content.

    19.26 km

    Egtved lies in an area of outstanding natural beauty, in the rolling downs of Vejle Ådal. Located in the deepest of the valleys of the area, Egtved offers pristine natural settings as well as cultural experiences.

    Among the mosaic of cultural institutions in Egtved are: the old grocer shop museum Bindeballe Købmandsgård; the Randbøldal Museum with  outdoor water exploratorium ; the windmills and watermills of Frederikshåb Mill Park; the Bronze Age barrow of the Egtved Girl; the Viking Age vestiges of the Ravning Bridge; and Robert Jacobsen and Jean Clareboudt’s awe-inspiring sculpture park in Tørskind Grusgrav.

    Vejle Ådal features many hiking and bicycling routes. The most famous is the Bindeballestien, which follows the now disused Vandelbane railway line from Vejle through Vejle Ådal to Bindeballe and the Ancient Road.
