Moen Lighthouse (Møns Fyr) crowns the wild eastern edge of Møn, where the rolling North European landscape meets the restless Baltic Sea. Originally built in 1845 and later reconstructed, the lighthouse rises austerely above grassy fields, signaling both warning and welcome to generations of mariners navigating the tricky channels between Denmark’s southern isles. Today, the historic white tower stands as a solitary guardian on this rarely crowded point, a magnet for those drawn to the wind, sea, and the profound stillness found along Møn’s rugged coastline. Visitors to Moen Lighthouse are greeted by sweeping 360-degree vistas—on clear days, the lighthouse commands views across the Kattegat to Sweden’s southern coastline and to the chalk cliffs of Møns Klint, Denmark’s most famous natural wonder. The area is a naturalist’s paradise, especially in spring and summer when wildflowers and migratory birds abound. The lighthouse itself is closed to interior visits, but its foundations provide an evocative platform for photography, picnics, and contemplation. Interpretive signs offer a window onto its history: from the original oil lamp to electrification, and the crucial role it played guiding vessels through fog and storm. The surrounding terrain is both raw and peaceful, ideal for leisurely strolls along the coastal meadows, with the wind and seabirds your likely companions. In stormy weather, the point becomes a spectacular site to witness nature’s power, as waves crash against the shore below. For cyclists and hikers exploring Møn’s eastern reaches, the lighthouse is a rewarding highlight at the edge of cultivated fields and forests. Practicalities are straightforward: access is free, parking is limited during busy weekends, and there are no facilities apart from simple benches and information panels. The sense of remoteness is part of the experience—bring what you need, and be prepared to linger in the embrace of wild Danish coastal beauty.
