Getting There
-
Walking
From the heart of Stege, Møn’s main town, the lighthouse is an ambitious but memorable day’s walk, with the final stretch skirting the edge of coastal meadows and low cliffs. Expect a journey of several hours through open countryside. The final approach brings you past isolated farmsteads and tall grasslands, with the white tower visible against the sky as you near the sea.
-
Public Transport
From central Møn, local buses can bring you within a few kilometers of the southern cape, depending on season and timetable. The final approach requires a walk of ~30–40 minutes through fields and tree-lined lanes. A single bus fare is typically 24–35 DKK. Service frequency is reduced outside summer months.
-
Bicycle
Cyclists will find a rewarding route from Stege and other villages, passing through undulating farmland before reaching the lighthouse near the island’s southern tip. Allow roughly 45–75 minutes for a leisurely ride, factoring in gentle hills and photo stops. Bicycle hire costs around 100–150 DKK per day.
-
Car
From anywhere on Møn, the lighthouse is a straightforward drive, taking 20–35 minutes from Stege, depending on season and traffic. Free parking is available at the end of the access road, though spaces may be limited in summer. No tolls apply, but note that the last part is via a narrow rural road.
