Stevns Klint UNESCO World Heritage
Stevns Klint is a 15-kilometer stretch of dramatic white chalk cliffs rising 40 meters above the Baltic Sea, located 50 kilometers south of Copenhagen. This UNESCO World Heritage Site preserves the world's most accessible and scientifically significant evidence of the Chicxulub meteorite impact 66 million years ago—the catastrophic event that ended the Age of Dinosaurs and caused the extinction of over 50% of all life on Earth. The cliffs reveal a remarkable fossil record spanning one million years before, during, and after the impact, making it essential for understanding mass extinction and evolutionary recovery.

Vallø Castle
Vallø Castle is a striking Renaissance fortress in Køge, Denmark, with origins tracing to the 1300s and its current form completed in 1586. Originally a royal residence, it was transformed in 1737 into a foundation for unmarried daughters of Danish nobility. The castle's impressive red-brick walls, distinctive round and square towers, and meticulously restored interiors survive a devastating 1893 fire. The surrounding baroque-inspired park, redesigned in English style during the 19th century, features manicured gardens, tree-lined avenues, and classical pavilions.

Højerup old church
Højerup Old Church is a 13th‑century cliff‑edge church dramatically perched atop the UNESCO‑listed Stevns Klint on Zealand’s southeastern coast. Built around 1250 in Romanesque style and consecrated in 1357, it famously lost its chancel and part of the cemetery to a cliff collapse in 1928. The ruin has since been stabilized and the missing choir replaced by a balcony overlooking the Baltic Sea, making this small whitewashed church both a historic monument and an unforgettable viewpoint.
