Gendarmstien is based on an old border patrol path that was used from 1920-1958. The trail begins in Padborg near the German/Danish border and ends in a small village on the island Als. The trail runs along the coast of southeastern Jutland and southern Als, but in some areas it swings into the countryside. It may be an advantage to study the Danish border history due to the many historical references along the trail, but the trail can also be enjoyed solely on its varied landscape and scenic views.

Comments
The trail can be accessed from the main road no. 8. Look for road signs with a blue border patrol man next to the word "Gendarmstien". Many smaller roads lead directly to good parking and picnic areas, so you can easily plan your own part of the trail.
