Scenic tour
Stevns Klint offers a stunning, dramatic coastline with breathtaking views. Great outdoor activity only an hour from Copenhagen
Dino extinction
Stevns Klint is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Denmark because it preserves the evidence of Earth’s fifth mass extinction.
Fish clay
See the K-Pg boundary that marks the moment of the asteroid impact.
Højerup Church
The church partly fell into the sea in 1928 and is now an atmospheric cliff-edge chapel. Many weddings take place here.
Where Earth’s most life-changing story is written in the cliff
You step into deep time on this tour.
At Stevns Klint, the chalk, limestone and the rare fish clay layer unfold the story of the asteroid impact that reshaped life on Earth — before, during, and long after the moment it struck.
Your guide brings the layers to life, connecting geology, biodiversity and the World Heritage landscape around you.
Many guests leave with a richer understanding of why Stevns Klint is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and with a quiet sense of belonging to the ancient story written in the cliff.
Højerup Church
We also visits Højerup Old Church. In 1928, part of the medieval church slid into the sea when the cliff beneath it gave way, revealing how alive this coastline truly is. Today the church stands restored and atmospheric, a place many couples choose for their wedding. From the balcony, the view over the chalk cliffs and open horizon is stunning.

”As a non-expert, it's hard for me to understand what I'm seeing at geological sites, and it's even harder for me to help my children understand. Anne was brilliant at bridging this gap at Stevns Klint. She had photographs and maps about the geological history, and she pointed out exactly what we were seeing. She engaged our children and did a good job meeting them at their level. Stevns Klint was a highlight of our trip in large part due to Anne.

Can we collect fossils? Is it allowed?
Yes — you can collect small fossils in designated areas of Stevns Klint, and I will guide you so we protect the World Heritage Site while exploring it.
There are a few simple rules to follow:
- Never chip into the cliff itself, only into fallen blocks

I explain what you may collect, how to do it responsibly, and I help you identify your finds along the way.

Wear comfortable walking shoes and clothes suitable for the Danish weather (it can change quickly).

It is Klintetours that assesses whether the trip can be completed in relation to the weather.
