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.

Why is a detour worthwhile? Because the ride here is definitely more pleasant than the alternative route along the main road. You can really enjoy the ride, and despite the good weather, it wasn't too busy today.
