Tips from the Community
The view, the prospects to the other bank across the border are a charm of the Gendarmsti. What once had to be controlled and defended, today leaves a feeling of how close everything is.

Bike path on both sides, nice view. A separate bike path would be nicer.

A stable viewing platform above the lake... just a few meters from the water... the short detour is worthwhile and offers a magnificent view across the lake.

A beautiful farm in a magnificent landscape of heaths and moors. Countless sheep, as well as donkeys, welcome visitors.

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.

Located directly on the water, you'll enjoy a magnificent view of the Flensburg Fjord and can watch sailboats, some of which depart from the nearby base of the German Offshore Sports Association HANSA (DHH). The waterfront promenade invites you to take a leisurely picnic break or visit a café before continuing on toward Glücksburg or Flensburg city center. A visit to the DHH's long-established yacht schools, where sailors from all over the world have been trained for almost 100 years, is particularly worthwhile.
