The day begins with a trip through a wonderful beach wood. In Odden [1], the route leads past a bathing beach. At the other end of the town, turn inland away from the coast and cycle to Valløby [2]. The elegant Vallø Castle is definitely worth a visit, but if you prefer beaches, then take a detour to the wonderful seaside resorts of Strøby Egede [A] and Strøby Ladeplads [B]. The route itself leads through Strøby [3] to Magleby [4], where you´ll find an enormous passage grave from the Bronze Age. In nearby Klippinge [D] you can visit the Terrarium which is home to monitor lizards, crocodiles, giant snakes and other reptiles. The next place to stop is Gjorslev [5] where Denmark´s oldest medieval castle still exudes a sense of the power held by the lord of the castle in the days of yore. North of Gjorslev, not far from the route, lies Gjorslev Bøgeskov [C]. The wonderful old beech wood is home to no less than 55 passage graves and an idyllic small harbour. Enjoy a rest by the woodland lake Møllesø before setting off again. The route now winds its way past a multitude of small mounds and passes through Holtug [6] to Sigerslev [7]. On the left-hand side lies Stevns Natur Center and Flagbanken (a viewpoint tower) on the cliff. Note that there is access to the beach here. Arriving at Mandehoved [8], you will have reached Stevns Klint. The snow-white chalk cliffs that soar up out of the blue water are more than 40 metres high, and it has taken many millions of years to deposit all this chalk. Not far from the route, on the road to Højerup, lies the medieval market town of Store Heddinge [G]. Store Heddinge, which is the main town on the Stevns peninsula, is chiefly known for its octagonal 13th century church. Continue along the coast to Højerup [9] and take a look at the legendary church on the cliffs. The story has it that the church moves a cock´s stride further inland every Christmas Eve, but unfortunately that wasn´t enough to stop the chancel and a large section of the cliff plunging into the stormy sea one day in 1928. The rest of the church stands defiantly just above the raging waves and is undoubtedly still moving a little further inland every Christmas.

Kalkgruben Boesdal [10], a limestone quarry, is not far from the cycle route and well worth a visit, particularly if you are interested in geological rarities - you may be lucky enough to find fossilised ammonite or sea urchins. You can also access the beach from here, which is quite rare along the cliffs.

Your destination is Rødvig (D) which has a Marine Engine Museum featuring exhibits dating back as far as 1903. The town itself, with its romantic fishing harbour and marina, is a wonderful setting for the most beautiful sunsets. It´s just a shame the sun only sets once a day...
