About
Stavns Fjord
Like the hills of South Samsø, the islets in the fjord were formed during the later part of the Ice Age. Archaeological research indicates that today’s fjord landscape was flooded as a result of rises in sea levels about 7,000 years ago. There are innumerable traces of settlements and activities from the Early Stone Age and in the surrounding area of the fjord there are both dolmens and grave mounds from the Bronze Age and – as perhaps the most marked feature – Kanhavekanalen shows that Stavns Fjord and all of Samsø were powerful centres during the beginning of the Viking Age.
