Møn is a small island in the south-eastern part of Denmark. Its main attraction is the 8-kilometer stretch of cliffs located on the eastern side of the island bordering the Baltic Sea. The cliff consists of chalk, it was formed 70 million years ago. In the past, extraction of raw materials was done for building purposes – but today the whole area is protected.
The cliff is impressive; the highest point is 130 meters high.
We can explore the cliffs both at the top (where there is a constructed viewpoint) and at the bottom where the special wooden staircase leads down to the narrow beach. The steps number nearly a thousand. We started sightseeing at the top, descending is easy, but then you need to go back to the parking lot, which means climbing the steps back up to the top. The children loved the way down; the way back up was harder.
Parking is available at the museum Geo Center and it costs 30 DKK. This is the only place where you can leave your car.
The last time I was here was 17 years ago. It was fun to refresh my childhood memories. Most importantly – nothing has changed 🙂
On our movie of the day take a look at 3:35 to see what our visit looked like.
