Lolland is the fourth largest island of Denmark, which consists of incredibly flat terrain surrounded by Baltic Sea. As you can see in this image, layers of sand and mud have helped keep these footprints safe for thousands of years.

“Footprints were found on both sides of the remains of the fish fences, which are also known as fish weirs. The archaeologists think this may indicate that the fishermen were trying to pull the fences up from the ground when their feet sank into the ground, preserving their prints for millenia,” according to Live Science.
