Over stok og sten - Fanø 2027

The sixth annual "Over stok og sten" (Over stock and stone) event will be held on the island of Fanø. Fanø is located in the Wadden Sea and offers a unique natural environment for hiking. The course features blooming heather, dune plantations, and a 16 km long beach. Fanø is part of the Wadden Sea National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the island's diverse landscapes include dunes, salt marshes, heathland, and the exposed seabed. Participants will also see salt meadows, sand dunes, observe birdlife, and potentially see seals. The North Sea is a constant presence. The route also passes through the island's small, cobblestone streets lined with characteristic Fanø houses with white fences and hydrangeas. The hike distances are 15 km or 35 km. The event will provide a clearly marked route, a route map, food, aid stations with drinks, and professional timing. Fanø is accessible by ferry, with departures 2-3 times per hour, a 12-minute crossing time, and the starting point is 500 meters from the ferry terminal.
