On 14 May 2026, it is time again to say “Welcome aboard as the “Friends of the Bicycle Ferry” association kicks off the new season with the “Thjalfe” bicycle ferry. The season will begin in May and June with trips on public holidays and at weekends. From 4 July until 6 September, the bicycle ferry will then run daily, connecting Langballigau on the German side with Egernsund and Brunsnæs in Denmark.

In the past, Danish gendarmes used the path in their operations against smugglers. Many walkers and cycle tourists are drawn to the Gendarmenstien on their excursions along the northern shore of the Flensburg Fjord. From Padborg, the beautiful waterside trail runs for 84 kilometres through a landscape shaped by nature and history to Skovby on the island of Als. International tourists are also increasingly discovering this trail. In December 2024, the European Hiking Federation (ERA) awarded the Gendarmenstien the title of “Leading Quality Trail – Best of Europe”.
For the German-Danish members of the “Friends of the Bicycle Ferry” association, who have been successfully running a volunteer-operated bicycle ferry on the Flensburg Fjord between Germany and Denmark since 2019, receiving the “Initiative Award 2025” from the tourism organisation Destination Sønderjylland was a great honour. Gerhard Jacobsen, chairman of the “Friends of the Bicycle Ferry Association”, says: “We were delighted to receive this award. It is recognition of our collective commitment to establishing and operating a cross-border ferry service on the Flensburg Fjord. With the bicycle ferry, we have created a new tourist attraction on both sides of the fjord and, at the same time, serve as an example of the excellent cooperation along the fjord.”
