Tour Description:

Just north of Vildsund on the beach it is possible to find many fossils among the stones. Then comes a longer distance with high, beautiful cliffs with varied hardwood plantation and meadows with deers. You reach Silstruphoved approximately after 6 km. It is a Moler cliff with obvious ash and moler layers. Here, it is possible to find fossils too.
