Stevns Lighthouse: Beacon on Denmark’s Dramatic Coast
Historic 19th-century lighthouse atop Denmark’s UNESCO-protected Stevns Klint, offering panoramic sea views, maritime history, and tranquil coastal walks.

Built in 1878, the lighthouse offers sweeping views over the Baltic Sea and dramatic cliffs listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
