Hanklit constitutes an impressive ridge, stretching about 700 meters in length, where the waves from the Limfjord have created a steep, northwest-facing coastal cliff that showcases the geological layers in a remarkable manner.

Hanklit is the most famous among the Moler cliffs, primarily because it is the tallest, standing at around 60 meters, and because it clearly demonstrates how mo-clay, ash deposits, and glacial formations have been folded and shifted."

Hanklit has been a remarkable sight for many years and was actually protected as early as 1937. The geological layers and structures are best revealed on the beach below Hanklit, while Hanklit's top itself offers an impressive view of the surrounding landscape, Limfjorden and Thy.

The mo-clay on Mors and in the western area of ​​Limfjorden belongs to the Fur Formation and is composed of seabed deposits dating back 55 million years. At that time, all of Denmark was covered by a deep sea. In addition to the microscopic algal shells, there are exceptionally well-preserved fossils of turtles, fish, birds, insects and plant material in Molert, which can be explored at the Fossil and Moler Museum at Sejerslev.

Many of these valuable finds can be experienced at the nearby Molermuseum. Every year, the place attracts thousands of visitors who want to admire the amazing sight that Hanklit presents.

Please note that it is not permitted to dig for finds or split stones in the cliff.

From the car park you have the option of either climbing the steep cliff to enjoy the view or walking along the cliff. During extremely high tides and strong westerly winds, the foot of the cliff may be flooded, which may limit access to the beach. This usually only occurs during the winter months.

Salgjerhøj, with its height of 88 meters above sea level, marks the highest hilltop on Mors. Located near the village of Flade, the hill forms part of the undulating landscape known as Flade Klit, or as geologists call it, Salgjerhøjbuen.

From the top of the hill, an impressive panoramic view reveals itself. The vision extends over Thisted Bredning, part of Nordthy with Thisted and the National Test Center for Large Windmills in Østerild, Dråby Vig, Fur, Nordsalling and most of the northern and central Mors.

Under the right conditions, you can even spot as many as 22 of the island's 34 churches from this vantage point. In a north-easterly direction, Skærbæk Klint, with its mo-clay, ash deposits and ice age formations, can be clearly seen.

The ridges constituting the terminal moraine complex were mainly shaped by two separate glacial movements around 28,000 to 21,000 years ago. The significant Bjergby Arch extends across Mors from east of Flade to Bjergby and north of Sundby, while the smaller Salgjerhøj Arch stretches from east of Flade to Hanklit and Gullerup to the west.

Salgjerhøj has deep roots in the past as a burial mound from the Bronze Age and is, in other words, almost 4000 years old. The name possibly derives from the female name "Salgjerd".
