Experience Gendarmstien in a kayak

Together with Fox Motion og Hygge, you can experience the fun of paddling in a kayak and Gendarmstien on a new and exciting adventure.

Fox Motion og Hygge offers 4 different trips that require you to paddle different distances. The trips are between 6 and 11 km, so they’re suitable for both experienced and novice paddlers. During the trip you’ll learn a lot about the history of Gendarmstien, at the same time as which you learn to paddle safely and have fun on the water.
Full instruction and a safety briefing are held before heading out onto the water. Suitable clothing is also important to ensure that you feel comfortable and warm on the water. You can borrow a wet suit and paddling jacket if you let us know when booking your trip (Neoprene Wetsuit Long Johns and paddling jacket).

For each trip there are 4 kayaks for 1 person (over 14 years of age and can swim). Furthermore, there is 1 kayak that has room for 2 adults and 1 child (less than 45 kg). This kayak can also be rented by 2 adults or 1 adult and 1 child. If you wish to book this kayak for 2-3 people, then contact Destination Sønderjylland and we’ll help you with your booking.

If you have your own kayak and wish to use this on the trip, then you can buy a ticket at half price. Contact Destination Sønderjylland if you’d like to paddle in your own kayak, and we’ll help you with your booking.

Trip 4. Cathrinesminde: Brunsnæs – Brickworks - Brunsnæs
On this kayak trip the focus is on industrial culture and the history of the brickworks in Flensburg Fjord.
