Explore a captivating chapter of Denmark’s history at FORT on Stevns, a unique Cold War museum located just a short trip from the scenic island of Møn and the beautiful South Zealand region. This underground fortress offers families a rare opportunity to step back in time and experience the life of soldiers who stood guard during a tense era in global politics.
FORT is built 18 meters below ground in the famous limestone cliffs of Stevns Klint, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visitors can join guided tours through 1.7 kilometers of tunnels and corridors, discovering the strategic importance of this once top-secret defense post. The tours are designed to be family-friendly, and children are especially welcomed on specialized tours that bring history to life with engaging stories and activities.
While exploring the cool underground environment, remember to bring warm clothing as the temperature remains around 10 degrees Celsius year-round. Practical shoes are advisable due to high humidity and some slippery tiles. Strollers are not allowed inside, but manual wheelchairs can be borrowed with prior reservation.
Above ground, guests can enjoy the picturesque surroundings and relax at picnic tables or the roof terrace. The museum shop offers refreshments and souvenirs, perfect for a family day out. The outdoor areas are dog-friendly on a leash, although dogs are not permitted inside the fort itself, except for service dogs.
For a memorable visit, book your tickets in advance and prepare for an educational adventure that links the natural beauty of Stevns Klint with Denmark’s role in the Cold War. For more information, contacting FORT is easy: call +45 56 50 28 06 or email fort@oesm.dk. Learn more at www.oesm.dk.
