An exciting afternoon in Højerup with culture, coffee, and cake

August 15, 2024 @ 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 PM

Join Lise Søelund—a talented guide, philosopher, and cultural educator from the East Zealand Museum—for a delightful summer tour of Højerup’s attractions.

The afternoon ends with cake and coffee or tea at the historic Højeruplund inn.
During the tour, Lise Søelund will talk about the dramatic cultural history of Højerup and Stevns Klint. Among other things, you’ll hear about the old church in Højerup, which lost its choir during a major cliff collapse on March 16, 1928, and about how chalkstone was quarried from the cliff in the old days. From the church, the tour continues to Mindelunden, where Lise will talk about some of the famous figures from Danish history who are commemorated here.

Among other things, you’ll hear about the linguist Peder Syv and the pastor Christian Richard, who wrote “Altid frejdig, når du går.”
The tour is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a fascinating piece of cultural history alongside our knowledgeable guide, Lise Søelund, who will ensure you gain insight and knowledge about the cultural history of Højerup and Stevns Klint.
Cake and tea or coffee at the cozy Højeruplund inn is also a cultural-historical experience in itself.
