We used the great, spacious bathing jetty for a morning swim before continuing on the Gendarmstien, it was wonderful. Particularly noteworthy is the wheelchair ramp on the side, which allows for easy access to the water. The section is very touristy, it can be noisy there in the evenings. Over Pentecost, the local sports school offered an extensive program, which perhaps explains the number of people and the noise level.

The Gendarmstien is worth visiting as a hiking destination if you want to relax in nature for a long weekend. Good trail markings and easy path conditions make for a hygge hiking experience.

This is the main character of the Gendarmstien: partly shaded paths along the fjord, naturally grown, with many beautiful views and, at least in May, far from being overcrowded.

After a long stretch of road, a bit of civilization is quite nice. Sonderburg is certainly worth a separate journey.
