The location of South Jutland as a border region makes this part of the country something special, not least in the light of history. After reunification in 1920 the border and shipping were monitored by the border gendarmes. The patrols took place on foot along the coast and each gendarme had to check a specific section of the border.

The Gendarme Path - the five stages
Padborg to Sønderhav (15 km)
Sønderhav to Brunsnæs (20 km)
Brunsnæs to Gammelmark (20 km)
Gammelmark to Høruphav (19 km)
