Feggeklit Cliff and Viking Legend, Mors
Wind-swept moler cliffs, Viking legend and wide Limfjord views combine at Feggeklit, a small but atmospheric headland on the northern tip of Mors.
Feggeklit is a striking 25 m moler cliff on the northern tip of Mors in the Limfjord, famous both for its layered fossil-rich clay and the Viking legend of King Fegge. Once a standalone island, this protected headland now forms part of the coastline, with grassy slopes on one side and sheer faces on the other. Visitors come for sweeping Limfjord views, coastal walks, angling spots and the atmospheric burial mound known as Kong Fegges Grav on the plateau above.

Local tips
- Wear sturdy, closed shoes; paths on the cliff and down towards the shore can be uneven, slippery after rain and exposed to wind.
- Bring layers and a windproof jacket, as the headland is very exposed and can feel significantly cooler than inland, even on sunny days.
- If you plan to fish, check local regulations for gear and seasons, and consider waders for better reach along the shallow coastal waters.
- Visit around sunrise or late afternoon for softer light and more dramatic views of the Limfjord, especially on days with scattered clouds.
- In wet or windy weather, stay well back from the cliff edge and keep children close, as the moler clay is soft and prone to erosion.

Getting There
-
Car from Nykøbing Mors
From central Nykøbing Mors, driving to Feggeklit typically takes around 20–25 minutes, following the main northern route across the island and local roads towards Feggesund. Expect quiet but narrow rural roads near the end. Parking is informal and limited near the headland, and there are no parking fees. In winter, be prepared for potentially slippery conditions and reduced daylight.
-
Bicycle from Nykøbing Mors
Cycling from Nykøbing Mors to Feggeklit usually takes 45–70 minutes, depending on fitness and wind direction. The route follows a mix of minor roads and country lanes with light traffic but some rolling hills. There is no dedicated bike lane for the full distance, so high-visibility clothing is helpful. The ride is free, but pack water and a repair kit, as services near the headland are minimal.
-
Regional bus plus walk
In season, regional buses on Mors run towards the northern part of the island, with stops along the Feggesundvej corridor. Typical travel time from Nykøbing Mors is around 30–40 minutes by bus, with a one-way adult ticket often in the range of 25–40 DKK. From the nearest stop, expect a fixed-surface country-road walk of 20–30 minutes on gently undulating terrain without pavements, which may feel exposed in bad weather.

A dramatic moler cliff on the Limfjord
Feggeklit rises sharply from the northern shore of Mors, a 25 m high moler embankment that tells a geological story millions of years in the making. Once an island standing alone in the sea, it has since been tied to the mainland, yet still feels distinctly separate from the farmed landscapes behind it. The cliff is formed of soft, pale diatomite and clay, banded with darker layers of ash, giving it a striped appearance where erosion has cut into the face. From the top of the headland, the Limfjord opens out in a broad sweep of water and sky. To one side, you see low-lying coastline and scattered farms; to the other, the narrow sound towards Feggesund. On clear days, the views can feel almost cinematic, especially when wind ruffles the water into shifting patterns of light.King Fegge and the burial mound on the hill
Feggeklit is inseparable from the legend of Kong Fegge, a Viking king said to have ruled the surrounding waters. On the grass-covered plateau above the cliff lies an oval burial mound known as Kong Fegges Grav, traditionally associated with this local ruler. Whether or not the story is historically accurate, the long, low mound and its commanding position give the site a distinctly mythic atmosphere. Standing here, it is easy to imagine longships passing below, sails taut in the fjord winds. The combination of early Scandinavian history, oral tradition and the stark landscape has made the hill a touchstone for stories about power, betrayal and seafaring life, echoed in local retellings and connections to medieval sagas.Layers of fossils and coastal nature
The moler of Feggeklit is famous on Mors for its fossil content and subtle coloration. The cliff face reveals thin layers formed from microscopic algae and volcanic ash, deposited in a quiet seabed over vast spans of time. In many places on Mors this material has been quarried, but here the embankment remains as an exposed natural wall. Around the base of the headland, the shoreline shifts between narrow stony stretches and patches of sand and mudflat, hosting wading birds, gulls and occasional seals further out in the fjord. The grassy western side of Feggeklit offers a gentler landscape, dotted with wildflowers in late spring and summer. The breeze is almost constant, carrying the scent of saltwater mixed with vegetation from the fields inland.Walking, viewpoints and coastal angling
Visitors usually explore Feggeklit on foot, following informal paths that climb up to the plateau and trace the contours of the headland. The path up to Kong Fegges Grav is short but can be a little steep and uneven, especially after rain, so sturdy shoes are useful. Once on top, you can stroll along the ridge to take in different perspectives of the fjord and coastline. Along the water’s edge, Feggeklit is known as a scenic angling spot, with the cliff providing some shelter from wind depending on direction. Anglers cast for sea trout and other coastal species, typically wading in shallow water or fishing from the shoreline. Even if you are not fishing, the presence of rods and lines, the quiet focus of anglers and the occasional splash adds a lived-in feel to the otherwise open landscape.Atmosphere through changing seasons
The character of Feggeklit shifts with weather and season. In bright summer light, the pale clay contrasts sharply with the blue-grey fjord, and the grassy slopes become inviting picnic spots. On overcast days, the colors flatten and the site can feel introspective, with the burial mound and wind-sculpted grass giving a slightly austere mood. Autumn often brings dramatic skies and livelier winds, when waves slap harder at the shore and migrating birds pass overhead. In winter, dustings of frost or snow can pick out the contours of the mound and the ledges of the cliff, while visibility across the fjord varies from crystal clear to misty and mysterious. Whatever the conditions, the exposed setting, expansive views and overlay of myth and geology make Feggeklit a quietly memorable corner of Mors.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
