This scenic island in the Baltic Sea is famous for the dazzling chalk cliffs at Møns Klint, which rise majestically above turquoise waters, drawing nature lovers, photographers, and hikers alike. The island’s coastline, fringed by beech forests and pebbled beaches, invites exploration on foot or by bicycle, offering breathtaking vistas at every turn. But Møn is more than its cliffs.
