Getting There

  • Walking or Cycling

    From the main settlement area on Møn, follow the country lanes toward the eastern cliffs, moving through woodland and open fields until the white tower of the lighthouse comes clearly into view atop the headland. Walking from central Møn takes at least an hour each way, while cycling shortens the trip significantly. There’s a tranquil, rural ambiance, with minimal traffic; bring water and snacks as facilities are scarce along the route.

  • Car

    Driving from the heart of Møn to the lighthouse leads you through charming villages and forests before reaching the lighthouse’s small parking area, typically about 20–30 minutes away. Parking is free but limited, especially on weekends and in summer. The final approach is along a narrow road lined by fields, ending at the open coastal heath near the tower.

  • Taxi

    A taxi from central Stege or Borre villages offers a direct and comfortable route to the lighthouse in 20–25 minutes, with fares generally ranging from 180 to 240 DKK each way. Be sure to arrange a return trip, as taxis do not regularly wait at this remote spot.

Discover more about Moen lighthouse

Møns Fyr, known as Moen Lighthouse to English speakers, is one of the quintessential icons of Denmark's Baltic coast—a solitary white sentinel standing at the island's far southeastern tip. Erected in 1845, the lighthouse has long served as a crucial navigation point for ships threading their way through the Kattegat and Baltic waters. Today, although fully automated, it draws travelers as much for its role in maritime history as for its spellbinding setting. Upon arrival, you’re greeted by the stark elegance of the cylindrical tower, its lantern room gazing over dramatic white cliffs and the endless blue. The continuous chorus of wind and seabirds create a wild, elemental atmosphere that feels both exhilarating and deeply peaceful. On clear days, the light offers sweeping vistas across the Baltic Sea, sometimes stretching as far as Sweden, while the encircling heath and forest invite quiet wanderings. Beyond the lighthouse, remnants of outbuildings and stone walls hint at lives once shaped by isolation, vigilance, and the sea. The area is notably rich in birdlife, drawing nature lovers and amateur ornithologists, especially during seasonal migrations. Though the lighthouse itself is rarely open for climbing, its grounds are freely accessible, making this an inviting spot for photographers, painters, and seekers of tranquility. If you visit in late afternoon or early evening, the interplay of low sun on chalk cliffs and the expanse of water is nothing short of magical. Even in misty weather, Moen Lighthouse conjures a romantic, almost mysterious spirit—one that seems suspended between land, sea, and sky. Whether you come for history, wild coastal beauty, or the meditative solitude of Denmark’s outer isles, Møns Fyr captures the very essence of island adventure.
