Jons Kapel
A 22-m-high granite sea cliff on the west coast. Legend says a monk preached here, and a 108-step wooden staircase leads down to the shore.
Jons Kapel is a huge granite cliff on the northwest coast that juts out over the sea. Legend says the medieval monk Jon once preached to fishermen from atop the rock. A steep wooden staircase of about 108 steps leads down to the reef at the base, where you can look up at the cliff face and the caves carved by the sea. Admission is free. It's about a 10-minute walk from the roadside car park to the viewing platform. Take care when the wooden steps are wet. You can follow the coastal path north to Hammershus (about 7 km).
