The night before I explored Stevns Klint I arrived in Hojerup after taking 4 trains and 5 buses from Schleswig TWHS in Germany, stopping in Christiansfeld WHS on the way, all connections of which were researched well in advance.
But when I arrived at my B&B about 7 pm, exhausted, I was shocked to hear from the owner that there was absolutely no restaurant or even store in Hojerup that were open at that time. The nearest would be 4 km away. Having no car, I did not have an option to get to the nearest town, as there were also no buses after 7 pm. So, I asked the owner if I could have a half of the breakfast for dinner and the other half for breakfast, which he duly complied. The inclusion of a whole loaf of bread in the breakfast helped. Or maybe he did me a favor.
It was raining in the next morning when I explored Stevns Klint. I went down to the beach area to take a closer look at the “fish clay.”
Stevns Klint has to do with the impact of a giant asteroid from 65 million years ago. But most of the things about Stevns Klint have been already said in the previous reviews. I would only add that this is the first WHS that made me think it should perhaps be called a Universal Heritage Site, as it involved a meteor, atmospheres, dinos, and whatnot.
My favorite little place within the core zone was the cliff-top church, as I thought it was very unusual that the altar area opened up to a balcony with a fantastic sea view (photo). It reminded me of my favorite café in Laguna Beach, California.
But that morning I was in fact thinking about one thing and one thing only: lunch. What appeared to be the only restaurant in town, Traktørstedet Højeruplund, was open for lunch, and I felt no shame in devouring over the Danish smorgasbord.
