Møn’s Cliff

Møn is a small island in the south-eastern part of Denmark. Its main attraction is the roughly 6-kilometer stretch of cliffs located on the eastern side of the island bordering the Baltic Sea. The cliff consists of chalk that formed 70 million years ago. In the past, raw materials were extracted here for building purposes - but today the whole area is protected.

Fun fact: in July 2025, Møns Klint was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The cliff is one of the best examples in the world of how Ice Age glaciers pushed and folded the ground.

The cliff is impressive; the highest point is 130 meters high.

You can explore the cliffs both at the top (where there is a viewpoint) and at the bottom, where a special wooden staircase leads down to the narrow beach. There are nearly 500 steps. 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.

Good to know: in October 2023, a storm surge tore away the lower parts of all five staircases leading down to the beach. The Maglevand stairs by the GeoCenter reopened in autumn 2024, but it is worth checking which ones are open before you go.

Parking is available at the GeoCenter museum 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 🙂

In our video from that day, the part from the beginning to 3:35 shows our visit.
