Gendarmstien - 3 dages vandretur på 84 km

The Gendarme Path is an 84 km coastal hiking trail along the Flensburg Fjord – often described as one of Denmark’s most beautiful hiking routes. In this film I hike the entire Gendarme Path in just 3 days (two half days and one full day) from Skovby to Padborg. It became a journey through everything that defines Danish nature – dramatic coastlines, forests and small villages – but also long stretches of farmland where I had to fight to keep the spirit of adventure alive. If you’re looking for inspiration for hiking in Denmark, long-distance trails or the most beautiful hiking routes in Denmark, the Gendarme Path is a perfect choice. The trail is divided into 5 stages (Mountain, Brick, Crow, Beach and Mill), well-marked and certified as a Leading Quality Trail – Best of Europe. Along the way you’ll find shelters, primitive campsites, water posts and easy transport connections to Padborg and Sønderborg. In the film I share my personal experience of hiking 84 km on the Gendarme Path – both the breathtaking highlights and the tough stretches – and show how this trail can feel like a true Danish adventure. 👉 Have you hiked the Gendarme Path yourself, or are you planning to?
