6 km/4 mi to the east of Store Heddinge is Stevns Klint, a chalk escarpment, which extends along the shore and from it there is a magnificent view over the sea.
The white crag, 41m/135ft high, near Hojerup is particularly beautiful, and here stands a little church of 1357 in the choir of which can be seen an even older chapel. According to legend this was built by a fisherman who had been rescued at sea.
