描述
Stevns Klint A UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A visit to Stevns Klint and The Forest Tower is not just a scenic excursion; it's a journey through time.
Stevns Klint is not just a treasure trove of geological history; it's also a haven for nature lovers. The cliff's diverse habitats support a variety of plant and animal species, from wildflower meadows to rocky shores teeming with marine life. Hiking trails along the cliff provide ample opportunities to explore the area and immerse oneself in the natural beauty.
A Witness to Cataclysmic Events:
The most striking feature of Stevns Klint is the K/T boundary, a thin layer of clay rich in iridium, a rare element found in meteorites. This layer marks the end of the Cretaceous Period and the beginning of the Paleogene Period, a moment in Earth's history when an asteroid impact triggered a global catastrophe.
Around 66 million years ago, a massive asteroid struck Earth in what is now the Gulf of Mexico, unleashing a shockwave that reverberated across the planet. The impact resulted in a towering dust cloud that blocked out sunlight, plunging the Earth into darkness for months. This prolonged darkness caused widespread environmental disruption, leading to the extinction of about 75% of all plant and animal species, including the mighty dinosaurs
Høgerup Church: A Symbol of Resilience:
As you explore the area, be sure to pause at Højerup Church, a poignant reminder of the power of nature and the human spirit. Situated precariously on the cliff's edge, the church has endured several landslides, with the most devastating occurrence in 1928 when a large portion of the cliff collapsed, leaving the church standing precariously amidst the rubble.
underground tunnels and chambers awaits. The guided tours, led by knowledgeable guides, transport you back to the 1950s and 1960s, when this site was abuzz with activity. Imagine the soldiers who patrolled these corridors, constantly vigilant against the threat of a potential nuclear attack.
The Forest Tower’s unique, hourglass shape is designed with a wide base and top, giving it both stability and an expansive viewing platform. The wooden walkway spirals gently up to the top, making the ascent accessible for visitors of all ages and abilities. Along the way, visitors experience changing perspectives of the forest, from the ground level to the treetops.
