The catastrophe that reshaped life on Earth
Imagine standing 66 million years back in time. Denmark was not land yet, but part of the warm Cretaceous Sea, home to fish, sharks, ammonites, and the great marine reptile Mosasaurus. Then everything changed.
A gigantic asteroid struck Earth with devastating force. Fires, tsunamis, and years of darkness followed. Nearly two-thirds of all life vanished — including the dinosaurs. The trace of this moment still exists.
At Stevns Klint, you can see a thin, dark band in the bright chalk: the fish clay layer. It contains the chemical fingerprint of the asteroid impact — the exact boundary between the world before and after the mass extinction.
Stevns Klint is the best place on Earth to see this layer preserved so clearly.
That is why it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and why standing here feels like touching the edge of deep time.
A MUST-SEE place when visiting Denmark.
An easy day trip — and a destination worth staying for
Stevns Klint is the perfect day trip from Copenhagen. It takes only 1 hour by car or about 90 minutes by train to reach this UNESCO World Heritage Site, making it easy to escape the city and step into a landscape shaped by 66 million years of Earth’s history.
If you’re cycling the Berlin–Copenhagen route, Stevns Klint is the perfect excuse to hop off the saddle and give your legs a new kind of workout.
If you have more time, staying for two or three days opens up even more possibilities: explore the Cold War fortress at FORT, climb the Forest Tower, enjoy cosy accommodation on Stevns or unwind at ROX Resort. Whether you come for a day or a long weekend, Stevns offers a unique blend of nature, culture, and quiet coastal charm. Stevns Klint and the area South Zealand & Møn is really a place worth visiting!

FAQ
Can we customise our tour?
Yes.
All tours are private, and I design the experience around your interests — geology, hiking, photography, food, family activities or simply a peaceful walk in nature.
Tell me what you love, and I adjust the route accordingly.
What does a private tour cost?
There are no fixed prices on my private tours as it depends on several conditions. These are:
- How many participants you are
- How many hours you want the tour to last
- Whether you will like refreshments or catering
- Whether you have particular wishes for the content of the tour which I need to spend extra time preparing
- Whether you need transport
When we have talked or written together about your private tour, I will return as soon as possible with a written offer, in which I describe the tour and its price.
How long is the tour, and how difficult is the terrain?
Most guests choose between:
• The short UNESCO tour — 1 to 1.5 hours
• The Hike, Highlights & Hygge tour — half day
• Custom hikes — 1 to 8 hours
The terrain is generally easy to moderate. Paths can be uneven in some areas, but no special skills are required. I adapt the pace and route to your needs.
How many persons can participate?
It is important to me that I have a good contact with each participant and everyone can hear what I say. I can therefore have a maximum of 30 people on the tour or hike.
Typically the private tours are for a few people – for instance couples or families.
Is the tour suitable for children and families?
Yes — absolutely.
Families love the fossil hunting option, and children often enjoy hearing about dinosaurs, the asteroid impact and the secrets hidden inside the fish clay layer.
I adjust explanations and pace to make it fun and meaningful for all ages.
How do we pay?
When accepting the written offer Klintetours will email you an invoice which can be paid as a bank transfer or you can pay by Paypal.
How do we get to Stevns Klint?
Stevns Klint is easy to reach.
1 hour by car
From Copenhagen it takes one hour by car, which makes it a perfect day trip from Copenhagen.
1,5 hour by train
If you wish to use public transportation, it takes about 1,5 hour from Copenhagen central station to Rødvig. I can help you by sending you a timetable for the trains. I recommend you to buy the City Pass x-large ticket for the public transportation, since it covers all trains and busses, you will need for your day trip at Sealand.

If we have a tour that starts at Højerup, I help you out with the transportation from Rødvig to Højerup.
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
- Never disturb the protected fish clay layer
- At Højerup, tools are not allowed — you may only pick up what lies loose on the beach.
I explain what you may collect, how to do it responsibly, and I help you identify your finds along the way.
What should we wear and bring?
Wear comfortable walking shoes and clothes suitable for the Danish weather (it can change quickly).
Bring water, sunscreen in summer and an extra layer in cooler months.
I provide all necessary information before the tour.
Will the tour be completed regardless of the weather?
The tours are completed even when it is raining. Put on sensible clothes and shoes.
However, trips are canceled when it can be very uncomfortable or dangerous to complete, for example with weather forecasts that report cloudbursts, heavy all-day rain or heavy thunderstorms.
It is Klintetours that assesses whether the trip can be completed in relation to the weather.
If the trip is canceled due to the weather, this will be notified to you as soon as possible and you will get your money back.
What about illness?
Klintetours is a one-woman company, and if the guide Anne Rosell Holt is ill on the day, the trip will be canceled as there are no substitute guides.
What if we have to cancel?
In case of cancellation less than 14 days before the trip: The entire price of the trip is paid with the exception of any meals that have not yet been purchased or that can be canceled.
In case of cancellation more than 15 days before the trip: The price of the trip is refunded with the exception of DKr 300 in processing fees.
