The Gemdarmenpfad is not really well maintained here (anymore?). The idyllic hut by the sea has now become a rubbish dump :-/

Unfortunately, it's raining again. It's not really fun and you can't enjoy the walk.

July 21, 2024,Gendarmstien - Broager Strand - Brunsnæs

Last outstanding stage of the Gendarmstien: Broager Strand - Brunsnæs.
Another nice trip, much along the beach but without major problems. Fine paths through meadows. Maybe just too much dirt road between boring and "withered" rapeseed fields.

At Brunsnæs, I took the cycle ferry to Egernsund and went over to Gråsten Sailing Club, where my companion car had broken down.

And we continue with day 3 on the Gendarmstien. This time I slept wonderfully. With a small interruption, but in the process I was able to look at a beautiful starry sky. For a city girl, that's something special.🫠

Day 3 and waking up at 4.30 a.m. seems to be becoming a habit. Today I'm smarter: I'm taking water, the remaining chips and the sleeping bag out with me so I can snuggle up and watch the sun rise.🥰
At 5.50 a nap in the tent and then start the day with porridge and tea.

Paths along the beach, above and below the cliffs, through forests and past fields.

May 10, 2022,🇩🇰 Gendarmstien #3/5

It was so nice yesterday that I decided to hike the next stage on the Gendarmstien today.
I started at 7:30 a.m. at the Brickworks Museum. It was overcast but warm, dry and windless. At the start it was deserted, only a few swans did their rounds and a row of fish waited on the reed edge for fat prey. …

June 26, 2025,🇩🇰 Gendarmstien. Dag 3.

Day 3. Pien and Henke are kind enough to take me to the point where we left off yesterday. They then continue north by car. I walk west along the coast. After saying goodbye, I step onto the beach, strewn with pebbles. The route follows the coastline along low boulder clay cliffs, dotted with swallow holes, blooming poppies, and beautifully …
