Vejen is a railway town of about 10,000 people (2022) between Esbjerg and Kolding in South Jutland. The town emerged in ancient times as an important waypoint for agricultural transport on the Jutlandic Ox Road trail, used for herding cattle and soldiers from Denmark to Germany. Vejen is still today an important traffic junction for the South Jutland region.
