Description

Helvetsskorret ("The Hell cut") is a place that awakens the imagination! Waves crash against the bottom of the long, deep cut in the massive bedrock that looks as though it was cut with a knife. What's really down there at the bottom? Just the name is enough to send chills down your spine. Surely there are exciting legends about this place!

Be careful here when its wet and the cliffs are slippery, or in case of fog. Keep a close eye on children here. There are multiple deep ravines nearby.
