Udsigtspunkter og udsigtstårne
Landskabet i Vejen-området er bemærkelsesværdigt på flere måder. Inden for få kilometer skifter det mellem flade sandede hedesletter og bløde bøgebevoksede tunneldale. Her har istiden sat sit præg. Nyd synet - her er steder, hvor der er uforstyrret 180 graders himmelhvælvsudsigt.
Her er en oversigt over gode udsigtspunkter og udsigtstårne, som kan være en del af en hyggelig gåtur eller mål for en udflugt. Der er helt sikkert endnu flere rundt om i området. Disse her er vores favoritter i vilkårlig rækkefølge:
