Hiking trails in Sønderborg

Photo: Sarahinthegreen

The Sønderborg area offers many shorter and medium-length hiking trails, all of which are signposted. If you're up for longer hikes over several days, we have the Alsstien and Denmark's first European Leading Quality Trail - Gendarmstien.

Short routes of 2 - 5 km

The very short stretches of 2-2.5 km can be found under the "Sporet ved" routes, both of which have a yellow and a red route. If you're interested in studying the architectural style in the city of Sønderborg, take a closer look at the three lower routes.
