Lookout Pier
The Lookout Pier is the journey’s final destination and is located off the shoreline below Højerup Old Church. The structure provides the visitors with the possibility of accessing the sea for an overview of the cliff-line.
Approaching the pier, you are first greeted by a centralized canal and two low-pitched walls, in which the latter gradually embrace you as the pier descends. As the structure leaves the shoreline, you are welcomed by a pitched roof with a thin thoroughgoing skylight, which together with the walls provides flanking apertures that scarcely light up the exhibition.
Proceeding further out on the pier, you begin to notice that water from the waves has begun bursting out through holes in the canal. As the bursting water continues to accompany you, its pressure gradually increases and tells you of the winds fluctuating impact.
Once the end of the pier is finally reached, you are rewarded with a dramatic overview of both the church and its surrounding cliff-line.
The distance to the shoreline is exactly 120 meters and marks in fact the 12th century coastline, from when the church was built. You hence conclude your journey along Stevns Klint by bodily measuring the magnitude of almost a millennium of coastal erosion.
