• Stevns Klint Walk day 1 part 1

    June 8 in Denmark ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Phew! Today was another long, fun day! We got up and had a little later of a start, but then headed out to hike the first part of the Stevns Klint trail. The whole thing is 21km which would be way too far so we walked about 7km one way then turned around and came back. It said it was supposed to be cloudy all day, but was nice and sunny when we left. The walk was on the top of the cliffs through the fields and was nice, but man it was warm up there! Especially when the sun was out! Every now and again you would get a cool breeze, but if you went down to the beach it was nice and cool.

    On the way to the first stop we saw a bunch of Cherry Ermines in the bushes! The first stop was the location of an old limestone mine and you could get down to the beach from there so we went to check it out. At first we were like there are no fossils, but we sat and had a break and looked at the rocks around us and broke some open and found some! They were much different from yesterday and the rocks themselves you could easily break apart by hand so not very stable, but still fun to look for!

    When we continued on we went by some old limestone kilns before wandering through more fields (with some fuzzy cows! This one has a baby on the container behind!), and the views of the cliffs were pretty nice.
