Vedbæk

Vedbæk is a small town in the municipality of Rudersdal (formerly Søllerød), Denmark. It is located on the Øresund coast of Zealand, between Rungsted to the north and Skodsborg to the south. The town has a station on the busy Kystbanen railway line, approximately midway between Copenhagen and Helsingør. It also has a well-frequented marina.

Vedbæk is perhaps best known for the "Bøgebakken" archaeological site, a Mesolithic cemetery of the Ertebølle culture. It is located in the northern part of the "Maglemosen" peat bog, and was discovered in 1975 during excavation for the new Vedbæk School. (It should not be confused with the earlier Maglemosian culture, named for a different Maglemose near Slagelse.)

The Danish national football team trains at Vedbæk Stadion. Between 1973 and 2006, the Danish Defence Command was located in Vedbæk.
