    As a student, I had the opportunity to study Søren Kierkegaard intensively, so a visit to this place was a special experience.

      Søren Kierkegaard was a famous Danish theologian and philosopher, who is still considered one of the greatest Danish philosophers. He lived from 1813 to 1855. A memorial stone has been erected at Gilbjerg Hoved to the philosopher Søren Kierkegaard.

      Gilleleje's first tourist As one of Gilleleje's first tourists back in 1835, Søren Kierkegaard enjoyed sitting on Gilbjerg Hoved, where he could enjoy the peace and quiet to think through many of his ideas and later put them on paper. A memorial stone has been erected at the place where he most often sat and philosophized. A few hundred meters further west stands another stone, shaped like a chair. There is also a bench here, from which you can enjoy the view.

      Gilbjerg Hoved
      Gilbjerg Hoved is not far from being the northernmost point of Zealand. The area lies like a green oasis between Gilleleje's villas and Smidstrup's summer houses. Here, 25 hectares were protected in the 1950s and 40 hectares have been selected as an EU habitat because of the special coastal vegetation on the up to 33 meter high cliff facing the Kattegat. Between the cliff and Tinkerup Strandvej is a pasture that belongs to the area. Cattle graze here and help to preserve the current condition of the site. The beach along the cliff is an exciting pebble beach, where in several places there are built humps and other coastal protection.


      Practical
      If you walk or cycle, you can follow the Gilbjergstien from Gilleleje town all the way to Gilbjerghoved, where the memorial stone stands. If you come by car, there is a parking lot at Tinkerup Strandvej and from here you can walk the few hundred meters to the edge of the cliff where the stones stand.
