Getting There

  • Driving

    Approaching from the main hub of Stege, travelers make their way east toward the island’s serene coastline. Signposted parking is available near the lighthouse itself, with spaces typically free of charge. The final stretch takes you through open countryside with occasional glimpses of the Baltic, culminating in a short, picturesque walk from the lot to the headland.

  • Taxi

    A taxi from central Stege to the Møn Lighthouse area typically takes 20–30 minutes, costing around 250–350 DKK. Drivers can drop visitors at the roadside parking area, from which it’s a brief stroll along grassy paths to the lighthouse site. Taxis are the most convenient choice for those without a car, though pre-booking is recommended during peak season.

  • Cycling

    Adventurous visitors may opt to cycle from Stege, following scenic rural lanes bordered by fields and woodland. The journey takes roughly 45–60 minutes each way and is best for experienced cyclists, as winds can be strong and the terrain mildly hilly. There is space to lock up bicycles near the parking area at the approach to the lighthouse.

Rising at the scenic edge of Møn, the Møn Lighthouse (“Møn Fyr”) stands as both a navigational sentinel and a symbol of the island’s intimate connection with the sea. First lit in 1845, the original lighthouse played a crucial role in guiding vessels through the Baltic’s unpredictable waters. Today’s structure, open only on select occasions, remains an atmospheric destination for travelers drawn to wild beauty and coastal heritage. Set against a backdrop of wind-gnarled wildflowers and rolling grassy dunes, the lighthouse area grants visitors mesmerizing views over the crashing Baltic and the island’s famous chalk cliffs. Photographers are spellbound by the interplay of shifting light on sea and stone, while walkers and birdwatchers find the wind-whipped headland alive with rare flora and migratory species. Though the lighthouse itself is not regularly accessible for climbing, its exterior invites close study with information boards describing its history, the rigors of lighthouse life, and the geology of Møn’s coastline. The remote setting encourages quiet contemplation, with only the sounds of waves and gulls filling the air. In summer, the area is particularly photogenic at sunrise or sunset, as golden light accentuates the cliffs and the white tower. Parking is available nearby, with short trails leading over grassy slopes. Visitors should note that facilities are limited—there’s no café or restroom on-site—underscoring the site’s peaceful simplicity. The headland itself, on the threshold between land and endless ocean, is a classic stop for those exploring Møn’s natural wonders or tracing its maritime past.
