Local tips

  • Wear sturdy shoes with good grip—the descent and shoreline can be slippery, especially after rain.
  • Bring a small bag for collecting fossils, which are common on the beach—look for sea urchins and belemnites.
  • Visit the GeoCenter for up-to-date information about guided tours, fossil hunts, and interactive exhibits.
  • Arrive early in peak season; parking fills up quickly on sunny weekends and holidays.
  • Don’t miss the view from the top of Aborrebjerg, Denmark’s highest natural point, a short walk inland.

Discover more about Møns Klint

Perched on the eastern edge of Møn Island, Møns Klint is one of Northern Europe’s most striking landscapes, forged from ancient chalk: remnants of microscopic sea creatures deposited when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. Here, sheer white cliffs plunge dramatically into the vivid Baltic below, reaching up to 128 meters high. The chalk walls stretch for nearly 6 kilometers, occasionally interrupted by idyllic patches of forest that crown the clifftops and provide moments of tranquil shade and bird song. Each season transforms the Klint—the lush spring foliage, bracing sea winds of autumn, and the almost Mediterranean palette in summer. The highlight for many visitors is descending the staircase through the ancient beech woods to the shingle beach below, where you can walk at the base of these glistening monoliths, hunt for fossils from a forgotten age, and gaze at swallows darting across the cliff face. The surrounding Klinteskoven forest shelters rare orchid species and butterflies as well as Denmark’s highest natural point, Aborrebjerg. The area is also home to the GeoCenter Møns Klint, an innovative visitor and geology center offering hands-on exhibits, educational activities, and spectacular views from its terrace. Møns Klint's atmosphere is otherworldly—raw and serene, with only waves breaking the quiet. Visitors often lose track of time among the natural beauty, unique light, and sense of millennia-old history hidden in the rocks and forests. The cliffs are not just a scenic icon but a living classroom, inspiring curiosity in science, conservation, and art. Whether marveling at panoramic vistas, cycling the flat-topped coastal trails, or searching for ancient sea urchins and belemnites on the pebbled shore, Møns Klint delivers a profoundly memorable Danish encounter.
