A Scenic Stroll with a Few Items to Consider ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of visiting Stevns Klint in Denmark, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The main highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the breathtaking walk above the cliffs, which offered stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. While the natural beauty of Stevns Klint was captivating, I did encounter a few minor inconveniences during my visit. One issue was the lack of multilingual signage inside the chapel. It would have been helpful to have translations in English, considering the number of international visitors this beautiful location attracts. However, I must commend the park authorities for having signs in both Danish and English (as well as German) scattered along the grounds, which provided some context and information about the area. Unfortunately, during my visit, the second, more recent chapel was closed, which was a disappointment. It would have been fascinating to explore its interior and learn more about its history and significance. Nonetheless, I understand that occasional closures are inevitable, and it didn't significantly detract from the overall experience. One thing to note is that paid parking is required at Stevns Klint. However, I found that there was ample parking available, which eased any concerns I had about finding a spot. Additionally, a pleasant surprise was the presence of a playground for kids. It's a thoughtful touch that ensures families with young ones can enjoy the visit even more. In conclusion, Stevns Klint offers a remarkable opportunity to immerse oneself in nature's grandeur and witness awe-inspiring coastal cliffs. The lack of multilingual signage inside the chapel and the closure of the second chapel were minor setbacks, but the scenic beauty of the area and the well-maintained grounds compensated for these issues. With ample parking and a playground for children, it's a destination that caters to a wide range of visitors. If you appreciate natural wonders and don't mind the language barrier, Stevns Klint is definitely worth a visit.

I saw the UNESCO Heritage sign on the way from Gedser to Malmo, so I made a stop at the rest area and googled to find that Stevns Clint is where geologist Walter Alveraz found asteroid evidence in the layers of white cliff theorized the Big Impact theory, which offered exceptional evidence of the impact of the Chicxulub meteorite that crashed into the earth at the end of the Cretaceous, about 65 million years ago. Researchers think that this caused the most remarkable mass extinction ever, responsible for the disappearance of dinosaurs and of over 50 percent of all life on Earth. I was so lucky to have about 2 hours to explore the site before sunset. Had I drove past the area one day ago, I probably would have skipped this side trip due to darkness! Cheers!

Beautiful area for a quick day trip to a UNESCO World Heritage site. There is an old church that you can explore before heading down some steep steps to see the cliff. FYI: The beach is currently closed for some work. This is a chalk cliff and one of the sites where you can see the geologic historical record (a strip of dark gray rock in between the lighter rock) of the meteor impact that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. There is a large open field where you can picnic (there are some picnic tables), a park for children to play, and a small restaurant for a quick drink, bite, or treat. Parking is 40 krone. If you like nature and the outdoors, this is a place for you.

Fantastic experience! Summary points: 1. Great church on the edge of the cliff, walk all the way to the end and right for a splendid view from the balcony 2. Binoculars mounted on the cliff edge just outside the church. Pleased to see they were fully functional 3. Head down the stairs to the water/rocks/beach. Note there is a big section of the stairs that is metal (cold/Slippery at times). Also the stairs are pretty steep. But not as tiring as the walk down fork Mons Klint (not even 5% of that). 4. Parking is 40DKK (payment at the parking machine just behind the barrier you enter from) and plenty of spaces. 5. Toilets available just walking distance from the parking.

Stevns Klint deserves an unequivocal five-star rating. It may not rival the height of Mons Klint, but its own beauty is undeniable. This remarkable destination offers breathtaking cliffs, a charming church, a majestic lighthouse, a fun playground, clean toilets, and picturesque nature walks. Amidst the negative reviews, it's important to remember that different does not mean bad. Stevns Klint exudes tranquility, providing a serene escape into a captivating world of rugged cliffs and untouched natural wonders. Appreciate its unique allure, immerse yourself in its history, and let it leave an indelible mark on your heart.

One of the best natural heritage site in Denmark. Down at the Beach, it is exciting to see all the smooth surfaced and round stones. The cliff is made of chalk stone. Kids love to pick up the chalk stones and write on everything they find around. Ocean view is as udual great and pleasant like in any other veaches in Denmark. Never disappointing. Bridge between the cliff and the beach is the steep stairs. Very adventurous. Besides this there is a church for history lovers. And remember to visit the light house. You will love it.
