Border crossing at Kollund Forest

Highlight • Structure

Starting at the end of the brass yard at the Kupfermühle, a somewhat hidden path that leads to the southeast leads to the German / Danish border, which is only about 50 meters away, and after crossing it directly to the Gendarmstien. From there you can use a number of, especially sparsely populated hiking trails along the Danish side of the Flensburg Fjord for beautiful walks.

May 1, 2024,Gendarmpfad 1. Etappe von Pattburg nach Sonderhavn

Hiked 77.85 km along the Gendarmstien. Highly recommended in May, when the rapeseed and dandelions are in bloom, the bright green beech trees are lit up, and of course the sun is shining.🌞😃😎

Last day on the Gendarmstien...I'm quite sad.😥
How wonderful was the minimalist life, how great the joy of things that are taken for granted like a shower, bread rolls, electricity, running water, a toilet with toilet paper, a body that is almost free of pain... But unfortunately, that is not so obvious for most people in this world. I also …

Oh man... nooooo... the last day😏

One last time, packing up our stuff, one last morning tea, packing up the tent one last time... nooooo... I don't want to yet.😟

At the campsite I learn that skov means forest or wood. And that this stage is called the mountain stage. And indeed after about 2 km the path suddenly starts to climb and a beautiful up …

April 16, 2022,🇩🇰 Gendarmstien #1/5

I'm slowly running out of hiking projects. I like to set a distant goal and hike it in stages. I usually return with my pedelec, which I park beforehand at the hiking destination.
During my German-Danish border hike, I came across the Gendarmstien's signs and now I want to tackle the project. gendarmsti.dk/de
In order not to be through with …
