Alsstien

Alsstien is about 60.24 km in HiiKER and is widely described locally as a 64 km long-distance route around Als. The route is commonly presented in 3 sections rather than as a single day hike, which makes it manageable as an easy multi-day walk with modest total climbing of about 375 m.

Yes. Fynshav to Mommark is one of the named stretches of Alsstien, following the east side of Als through coastal scenery and forest. This section passes through Blomeskobbel, an area noted for having one of northern Europe’s largest concentrations of burial mounds, and links two of the route’s best-known villages.

Alsstien is described locally as running across Als from Hardeshøj in the north to Drejet in the south, and other tourism material describes it from the Kegnæs causeway northward through the island’s coastal landscapes. In practical terms, the route connects well-known places including Hardeshøj, Fynshav, Mommark, and Drejet on a long shoreline walk.

Yes. Overnight options along Alsstien include simple shelters and tenting areas on Als, including sites near Havnbjerg and in the coastal forest between Fynshav and Mommark. Oleskobbel is one of the free tenting forests on the route, and some shelter and hay-hotel style sites on Als can also be used by walkers.

Alsstien is promoted as a walking route, not as a dedicated bike trail. Parts of the route run on paths along the coast and through forest, so it is better treated as a hike. Sønderborg Municipality has separate signed cycling routes on Als for riders who want a bike-friendly option.

Alsstien can be linked with Alssundstien for a longer walk from Sønderborg toward Ballebro, and local tourism information also notes that Alsstien can be combined with Gendarmstien. The Alssundstien section is about 17 km, and combining Alsstien with Gendarmstien creates a much longer route of roughly 151 km.

Alsstien follows the coastline through some of the most varied scenery on Als, including Nørreskoven, coastal fields, beaches, and the east-coast forest around Blomeskobbel. Named highlights on and near the route include Naturpark Nordals, Nordborg Slot lake, Fjordmosen, Taksensand Fyr, and Blue Flag beaches at Fynshav, Mommark, and Drejby.

Yes. Alsstien is rated easy, with 375 m of total elevation gain over 60.24 km, so the climbing is gentle for a route of this length. The challenge is more about covering the distance over several days than about steep terrain, which is why it is commonly treated as a relaxed multi-day coastal walk.
