Gendarmstien Trek, 5-day Hike along the Gendarme Path in Denmark

Discover the landscapes of Denmark’s south coast with this 5-day hiking program along the Gendarmstien, or Gendarme Path, a natural trail that runs through picturesque scenery for 74 km. This trek starts in the town of Hoeruphav, in southern Denmark .

The path offers a unique hiking opportunity in one of the most beautiful coastal routes of the country. The trail is named after the former guards that patrolled the border between Denmark and Germany until 1950, inspecting the maritime trade. Each guard had his own fields to inspect, which were linked together by trails.

You will be following the coast most of the way, hiking for 3 days through a very diverse landscape with meadows, forests and bogs. Along the shores of the fjord we will find both a rich animal and plant life and many interesting habitats. We will be spending the night in organized bivouacs along the way.

The Gendarmstie Path is qualified as a Leading Quality Trail -Best of Europe.  It is a great opportunity to discover another country and to enjoy varied scenery, between the sea and the forest.

This hike is accessible to any good walker. Actually, it is an easy first trek to test yourself before joining more technical ones, although it is mandatory to have previously participated in a similar activity. The trek does not include any particular difficulty, apart from the fact that you have to be able to carry your camping equipment for the day.
