The magnificent clay cliffs of Hanklit
The tallest clay cliff on Mors is called Hanklit. It is located right at the water’s edge at the northern shore. You can walk to the top from the bottom. The hike is a bit steep at places but it is manageable to reach the top of the hill, even with small kids.

Hanklit, Nykobing Mors, Denmark
Hanklit cliff
We decided to drive to the island of Mors to explore Hanklit, the largest diatomite cliff in the world at 61 meters high. Hanklit consists of changing layers of volcanic ash, seen as dark stripes in the lighter moclay. The cliff is a protected site. We climbed Hanklit to enjoy the view from above, which was incredible. We descended to the beach to look for fossils and to throw some rocks in the sea.
