Dear all, 

  

August is here... and with it the return to school and work! 

 

But it also means late summer (hot days are coming :)) and that events are starting to come back. 

 

Find tips for August below - and also a few ones for September; among others, the success Living Danishly with Helen Russell is back on September 6th. 

 

ENJOY! :) 

  

Kind Regards Louise 

 

Eating together is a great way to meet new people. Every week, people of all ages meet over a nice meal at Spinderihallernes Café.

 

If you are looking for great company, “hygge” and the opportunity to meet new people, then “Fællesspisning” is the place to go.

 

We serve the food from 5.30 pm to 7 pm - beer, wine and soft drinks are sold separately. The café closes at 21.00.

 

You can book your ticket via this websitw below - the price is 85 kr. for adults and 55 kr. for children (up to 12 years) per portion, incl. a cup of coffee and something sweet.  

If you did not get enough bike races this summer (and who did?) you are in for a treat! 

 

Post Nord Danmark Rundt (the Tour of Denmark) are in Vejle Municipality for both 3rd and 5th stage. 

 

3rd stage includes Egtved and Give, where some of the toughest climbs of the king stage await the riders. At Egtved, the field must, among other things, up the climbs at Tørskind and Blue Hors, before hitting Rådhusbakken in Give, which was the goal of the DM in 2021. Give has proud cycling traditions, and 2022 will be another big year in the Sculpture City.

 

5th stage includes the classic entrance to Vejle, but where they have previously driven up Gl. Kongevej/ Chr. Winther's Vej, the riders have to climb the extremely steep Chr. Winthers vej, directly from Jellingvej. A road with an average of 16.3% and a maximum of 21%, Winther's Vej is perhaps the hardest climb in Denmark in connection with a bicycle race.    

 

Two times up Chr. Winthers vej and five times up Kiddesvej. What a dream of a final stage of PostNord Danmark Rundt. Everything will presumably be at stake before the overall winner of the 31st edition of the PostNord Danmark Rundt can celebrate.

Time for SWING for babies and toddlers again (age 0-4). 

 

At småbørnsswing (baby an toddler swing) you can experience what music, song and play means for your child’s motivity and senses.    

 

The session will be in Danish – feel free to contact the library if you have questions about this. The fee is 25kr per child (adults free of charge). 

Two fun days for friends and family at Vejle Fjord and Yacht Harbor with plenty of activities, water fun, music, floating art, design, street theater and delicious street food.

 

A large part of the program for the Vejle Fjord Festival is ready. See who is performing and what you can experienceduring the two days at Vejle Marina and the harbor island.

 

Every year, The Triangle Festival Week puts the spotlight on the fantastic cultural life in our area.

 

Cultural institutions, associations and volunteers from the seven Municipalities in the Triangle Region develop cultural events and create a fantastic week with many events.

New in Denmark? Or maybe you have lived here for years but are still wondering about those crazy Danes?  

 

On September 6th at 18.30-21.00 (6.30-9.00pm) we have invited Helen Russell for a Living Danishly event – speaking about subjects YOU choose.  

 

From preconceptions about Denmark to first impressions on arrival (the price tag! the weather!); Danish work culture; making friends; Danish culture; the infamous hygge; Danish trust; equality; the great things about living Danishly…as well as the not so great things.

 

On September 13th and 15th Vejle Municipality (as part of Welcome September) host online info meeting about Danish daycare and public school system. 

 

An evening for each subject - so you can join the one that is most relevant for your current life situation. You are also welcome to join both. 

 

The online sessions are open til everyone and will focus on the overall systems in Denmark, but please note that it will be with an "how do we do it in Vejle" angle - and for the school info evening there will also be information about the International Program offered in Vejle. 

 

Feel free to sign up already now! 

You are always welcome to contact me if you have any questions about life in Vejle.

  

Feel free to still send me an email - my auto reply will contain answers to the most common questions.
