About Sofienlund Skov

Sofienlund Skov near Vejle features an unfenced dog park in a tall beech forest, owned and maintained by the Danish Nature Agency Trekantområdet. The terrain is very hilly and slopes down towards Grejsdalen and Polsterbæk, which also form the forest's northern boundary. The dog park covers just under 8 hectares, with a couple of forest roads and paths – a little over a kilometre in total – guiding you around.

You start from the parking area in the forest's southwest corner, accessible via E. T. Jørgensens Vej. Your dog can run off the lead as long as you have control over it, and remember to be considerate of those walking without a dog. Exit 60 Vejle N is about 3 km away.
