Sunrise at the turning point of the human story

Watching the sunrise over the white cliffs of Stevns Klint is a magical way to start your day. The first light touches sea and chalk, and we enjoy a quiet breakfast by the cliffs before setting off along the scenic Stevns Klint Trampesti.

Here you step into deep time at the turning point of the human story. As we walk, your guide Anne brings the landscape to life with stories about ancient seas, the asteroid impact that caused a mass extinction, and the slow return of life — a chain of events that eventually made our own existence possible. The chalk, limestone and the rare fish clay layer reveal the dramatic moment that shaped this path and earned Stevns Klint its UNESCO World Heritage status.

It becomes a peaceful and inspiring morning, where geology, biodiversity and the raw beauty of the coastline connect — and many guests leave with a deeper sense of belonging to the ancient story written in the cliff.

Duration

Distance & difficulty

This is a short tour less than 2,5 km. The best sunrise view is from the beach, which requires walking down and up a steep staircase and moving across very uneven terrain.
If you prefer, we can watch the sunset from the cliff edge instead and take only a very short walk. This version of the tour is suitable for guests with limited mobility.

Breakfast

Breakfast is simple, fresh, and satisfying: sourdough bread with butter, jam, and cheese, a small Danish pastry, juice, and hot coffee or tea. Perfect to enjoy as the first light reaches the cliffs.
