Bække grew up around the road between Ribe and Vejle. The road roughly follows the course of the historic Hærvejen or Ox Road past the church and inn.[2] At an early stage the city extended along the old road and another parallel to the main street. The city currently has a compact form.
By 1917, Bække had a station on the Troldhede to Kolding railway. The railway closed in 1969, but the town still has significance as a hub for bus services. The church, school and most shops are in the middle of the city linked to the main street, Søndergade-Nørregade.
In recent years Bække has experienced an increase in tourism, based on the Hærvejen route and the river Holme Å. The square at the bus station has also been redeveloped with a modern sculpture by Niels Aage Schmidt symbolizing the Hærvejen.
Bække has distinctive historic architecture with several landmark buildings.
