Rødvig is a coastal harbor town on the southeastern tip of Zealand, in Stevns municipality. Once a busy fishing village, it grew around its sheltered harbor, which today mixes working fishing boats with pleasure yachts and a marina. The town is best known as the southern gateway to Stevns Klint, the UNESCO-listed chalk-and-limestone cliff whose rock layers record the meteorite impact tied to the dinosaurs' extinction; a coastal path leads north from the harbor toward the cliffs. Along the quay you'll find a traditional smokehouse, seafood eateries, and views over Fakse Bay. Rødvig has a relaxed, low-key atmosphere, with a small beach, streets of older houses, and a heritage railway connection to Køge. It makes an easy base for walking, cycling, and swimming, and for exploring the wider Stevns peninsula. In summer the harbor comes alive; in quieter seasons it keeps the calm of a Danish fishing community.
