Stevns cliffs

Understand

The municipality of Stevns is located on a peninsula between Køge bay and Faxe bay, and it comprises of several small towns and villages: 1 Strøby Egede , 2 Store Heddinge , 3 Hårlev , 4 Rødvig and tiny, but perhaps the best known 5 Højerup. Højerup old church collapsed partially over the cliff in 1928 due to erosion. It is the same cliff, Stevns Cliff (Stevns Klint), that represents a classical geological site.

It offers an unique evidence of the meteorite impact off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula, causing global mass extinction 65 millions years ago, with dinosaurs being the best known victims. This event visible in the sediment profile in Stevns Cliff marks the Cretaceous–Tertiary (K–T) boundary. It has been inscribed as an UNESCO World Heritage site.
