Røjle Klint (Cliff)
The cliffs at Røjle Klint to the north-east of Middelfart are up to 45 m in height. The cliff is right next to the Little Belt.
Røjle Cliff is one of the best places for seeing what took place in Denmark during the Ice Ages. Due to the alternation between warm and cold climates, the area was covered several times by thick masses of ice moving from the north and east.
