Dramatic 128 m white chalk cliffs on the island of Møn, with a stair descent to a fossil-rich beach and the GeoCenter.
Møns Klint is a 6 km stretch of white chalk cliffs rising up to 128 m above the Baltic on the island of Møn, about 120 km south of Copenhagen. The cliffs are protected as a UNESCO Biosphere reserve and a Dark Sky Park. The main viewpoint is the stair descent of about 497 steps from the clifftop to the pebble beach, where fossils can be found; a walk along the beach toward the north lasts 1-2 hours. The GeoCenter Møns Klint (Stengårdsvej 8, 4791 Borre) is open from Easter to the end of October, with adult admission about DKK 155 (about USD 24) and children 3-11 about DKK 100 (about USD 16); online booking saves about DKK 10 (about USD 2) per person. The trip is long for a day: by train to Vordingborg (about 1 h 05) then local bus to the cliffs (about 1 hour), or by car in 1 h 45 each way. Many visitors drive; a day trip by public transport is feasible only with an early start and a firm timetable check on rejseplanen.dk.
