A special island in south-eastern Denmark

There is something magical about Møn.

Denmark isn’t exactly famous for dramatic landscapes, but Møns Klint (also known as the White Cliffs of Møn) is a rare exception.

From scenic hikes along the cliffs and forest trails to fossil hunting on the beach below, the area offers some of the most unique outdoor experiences in Denmark.

The light on Møn is something special (as well as the lack of it at night), and combined with wild forests, open landscapes and dramatic coastlines, it’s no surprise that people return again and again.

We’ve visited Møn several times ourselves and still find new reasons to come back. There are always more things to do on Møn.

In this travel guide to Møn and Møns Klint, we’ll share the best things to do near Møns Klint, our favourite experiences on the island, where to stay on Møn and our best travel tips to help you plan your trip.

Why visit Møn

With more than 150 kilometres of coastline, there are plenty of things to do on Møn and sights to explore around the island.

Møn might not look very big on a map, but its size is deceiving, and there’s far more to see and do than you might think.

The beauty of Møn has long attracted creative souls, which is reflected in its diverse cultural scene with everything from galleries and workshops to local events.

There’s something for everyone here, but for us, the real highlight is the nature.

Møns Klint is the most famous attraction and easily one of the best things to do on Møn, but it’s far from the only one.

The Camøno (a playful nod to the Camino in Spain) offers scenic hiking across the island, and there are also excellent cycling routes if you want to explore Møn on two wheels.

The beaches are peaceful, the forests are beautiful, and after a day outdoors, you can enjoy great food and drinks in the island’s charming main town, Stege.

Map

Møn lies southeast of Zealand and is connected to the “mainland” by the Queen Alexandrines Bridge – also known as the Møn Bridge.

Best things to do and see on Møn

Here are some of the best things to do on Møn and must-see sights on this beautiful Danish island southeast of Zealand.

1. Explore Møns Klint

The biggest attraction on Møn is undoubtedly Møns Klint, also known as “The White Cliffs of Møn” – and it’s easy to see why it’s topping the list of what to do on Møn.

Møns Klint is home to Denmark’s longest staircase with 496 steps, which gives you an idea of the scale and dramatic beauty of the cliffs rising along Møn’s east coast.

But it’s not the stairs you go to Møn for…

Møns Klint is truly a natural wonder that attracts visitors from all over Denmark and beyond.

It’s made of chalk that formed over 70 million years ago from tiny sea creatures and marine animals, which is why you can still find fossils like sea urchins and squid remains on the beach today. Cool, right?

What to do at Møns Klint

To fully appreciate Møns Klint, you should experience it both from above and from the beach below.

There’s a nice 2-3 kilometre walk that runs between GeoCenter Møns Klint and the Maglevand Stairs (Maglevandstrappen), continuing south towards the Gråryg Stairs (Grårygstrappen).

You can go down one staircase and back up the other – just make sure to allow extra time (and energy!) for the climb.

Møns Klint is actually Denmark’s highest cliff, and you’ll find the highest viewpoint near the GeoCenter, which offers a 128-metre drop to the sea below.

Don’t miss exploring the forest of Høje Møn behind the cliffs, where you can find some of the oldest beech trees in Denmark.

And make sure to keep an eye on the sky while you’re here. You might be lucky enough to spot a peregrine falcon diving along the cliffs at speeds of up to 300 kilometres per hour.

It’s the fastest bird in the world, and Møns Klint is one of the very few places in Denmark where it breeds.

For a deeper understanding of the area’s geology, flora and fauna + a map of Møns Klint and the surrounding area, you can check out this official online leaflet of Møns Klint before your visit.

Parking: There is a large car park at GeoCenter Møns Klint where you can park for a fee.

Safety warning

We know it’s a little boring, but we feel like we have to include a safety warning in our Møns Klint guide.

It’s a natural and constantly changing landscape, so landslides or falling rocks can happen at any time.

Stay well away from the cliff edge and avoid walking directly below the cliffs on the beach.

It is strictly forbidden (and dangerous!) to climb outside marked paths or throw anything from the cliff.

Always respect barriers and warning signs, and remember that you visit at your own risk.

Stay at Møn for the night

Møns Klint is Møn’s largest and best-known attraction. If you want to visit the cliff at both sunset and sunrise (which we can recommend), it’s a good idea to find accommodation close to Møns Klint.

Search for the best hotels near Møns Klint here (adlink) or scroll further down to see our recommendations on where to stay on Møn.

Flowers at Møns Klint

Møns Klint is one of the best places in Denmark for plant lovers. As many as 18 different orchid species grow wild here, making the area especially unique.

The cliffs and surrounding forests are among the richest in the country in terms of plant life, largely thanks to the high calcium content in the soil as well as careful nature conservation.

If you visit in spring, you can also spot three different types of anemones covering the forest floor.

Please note that all plants are protected, so you must not pick or dig them up when visiting Møns Klint.

2. See Møns Klint from the water

One of the best things to do on Møn is to experience the cliffs from the sea.

The sailboat Discovery offers two-hour trips to Møns Klint from Klintholm Harbour.

We didn’t get out on the water ourselves when we visited, but it’s easy to imagine how special it must be to see the towering white cliffs from this perspective.

During the summer, there are typically daily departures (weather permitting).

3. Visit GeoCenter Møns Klint

Right on the edge of the cliffs, you’ll find GeoCenter Møns Klint which is the best place to learn more about the area’s unique nature and geology.

You can join guided tours or explore the interactive exhibition, where you’ll discover the story behind the landscape, the Ice Age glaciers and life in the ancient Cretaceous Sea.

The local tourist office is also located here, along with a shop selling books, maps and useful leaflets about Møns Klint.

Note: GeoCenter Møns Klint is closed during the winter. Check their website for updated opening hours before your visit.

4. Stargazing in Denmark’s first Dark Sky Park

Stargazing on Møn is a fantastic experience!

It’s one of the best things to do on Møn at night, and while looking at the stars is always awe-inspiring, the night sky above this Danish island offers something far more extraordinary.

On clear nights, you can see millions of stars scattered across the sky, and if conditions are right, you might also be able to spot The Milky Way.

It’s one of the best places in Northern Europe for astrophotography and night-sky watching.

Møn, together with the nearby island of Nyord, was designated as Denmark’s first Dark Sky Park by the International Dark-Sky Association, and the area is one of the best stargazing destinations in Denmark.

Thanks to exceptionally low levels of light pollution, the night sky here remains dark and clear.

5. Stroll around the cosy town of Stege

Stege is the main town on Møn and this is where you’ll find most cafés, restaurants and shops on the island.

It’s also a great base if you’re looking for where to stay on Møn.

The town dates back to the Middle Ages and the atmosphere along the main street, Storegade, is always lovely.

Here you’ll find a mix of small shops, local boutiques and cosy places to eat.

At the eastern edge of town stands Mølleporten (the Mill Gate), which is one of only two preserved medieval town gates in Denmark – the other being in Fåborg.

Don’t miss a walk along Stege Vold, one of the best-preserved town ramparts in Denmark and a green area perfect for a stroll.

There are usually several free parking spaces available in Stege.

6. Hike the Camøno

The Camøno is called “The kingdom’s friendliest hiking route” and it takes you 175 kilometres around Møn. It’s accessible year-round and it’s a perfect activity if you enjoy the outdoors.

The Camøno consists of 12 varied stages that take you through some of the best landscapes, forests, beaches and little villages on Møn, Bogø and Nyord.

If 175 kilometres of hiking on Møn sounds like too much, you can easily choose the routes that suit you. Some sections are even stroller- and wheelchair-friendly.

There are plenty of places to stop along the way, whether you’re heading out for a single day or hiking the entire route.

7. Experience the small island of Nyord

Nyord is a small island connected to Møn with only around 30-40 residents.

A walk around Nyord feels like stepping back in time with its charming 19th-century village atmosphere and the historic Nyord Church from 1846.

Just outside the village, Nyord Enge (Nyord Meadows) is an amazing nature reserve and one of the best spots for birdwatching on Møn.

Here you might see species such as the peregrine falcon, common buzzard and white-tailed eagle – so don’t forget your binoculars, if you are interested in spotting birds!

There are great views over the meadows at Nyord Enge where you can spot birds… and cows.

8. Swim at the beaches on Møn

Møn is known for many things – and its beautiful beaches are definitely one of them.

Ulvshale Beach on the island’s north coast is one of the most popular and family-friendly beaches with soft sand and shallow water.

Hårbølle Beach, located in the south-western part of Møn, is another great spot, and you can also go for a swim at Klintholm Harbour on the south-eastern coast.

All three beaches have Blue Flag status, meaning that water quality and facilities are regularly checked, so you can enjoy a safe and clean swimming experience for the whole family.

The park itself is open all year and free to visit, which makes it an easy addition to your list of things to do on Møn.

How to get to Møn

Most people visit Møn on a day trip from Copenhagen, so here’s how to get to Møn and Møns Klint from the Danish capital.

By car

The easiest way to get to Møn Island is by car.

Take the E47/E55 motorway south through Zealand and cross Queen Alexandrine’s Bridge to reach the island of Møn.

It takes around 1 hour and 20 minutes to drive from Copenhagen to Stege, the main town on Møn.

How to get to Møns Klint

Driving from Copenhagen to Møns Klint (all the way to the cliffs) takes about 2 hours and is by far the easiest and most flexible option.

There is a paid car park right next to GeoCenter Møns Klint, and from there, you’ll be within easy walking distance of the cliffs.

By public transport

Getting to Møns Klint by public transport is a bit more time-consuming, but definitely doable.

  • First, take a train from Copenhagen Central Station (Københavns Hovedbanegård) to Vordingborg Station. There are regular departures, and the journey takes around 1 to 1.5 hours depending on the train.
  • From Vordingborg, take bus 660R towards Stege (~45 minutes).
  • Change to bus 678 towards Møns Klint GeoCenter and go to the end station (~45 minutes).

However, bus 678 is a seasonal summer bus that runs from Stege to Møns Klint to make the journey easier in the tourist season.

Outside of summer, you’ll typically need to take bus 667 towards Klintholm Havn. Get off at the stop “Busemarke (Klintholm Havnevej)”, from where it’s a walk of around 5-5.5 kilometres to the cliffs.

For the most up-to-date routes and departure times, check Journey Planner.

Visiting Møns Klint on a tour from Copenhagen

If you don’t want to worry about transport, joining a guided tour from Copenhagen is an easy way to visit Møns Klint.

Most tours include return transport, stops at viewpoints along the cliffs and often a visit to GeoCenter Møns Klint. Some also combine the trip with other sights in the area, like Skovtårnet (Forest Tower).

It’s a convenient option if you’re short on time or prefer a more structured experience – just keep in mind that you’ll have less flexibility than if you go on your own.

Restaurants and cafés on Møn

If you want to eat environmentally and animal-friendly, we recommend that you eat as plant-based as possible.

The south of Zealand is unfortunately not known for being full of green eateries (yet!).

However, we have found these three suggestions for eating out on Møn that offer vegetarian and vegan dining options:

  • David’s Cafe in Stege. Brunch can be made vegetarian. The lunch menu offers a vegan sandwich and a vegan green salad with hummus and bulgur.
  • Møn Surf in Klintholm Havn. A surf school that is open during the summer months. They have a vegan sandwich and bowls, oat milk for coffees and snacks like chocolate truffles and ice cream.
  • Det Gamle Bryghus in Stege. Vegetarian and vegan options for a burger and Danish smørrebrød (at lunch).

Our best tips for visiting Møn

  • Stay at least one night on Møn. Even if you’re mainly visiting Møns Klint, we highly recommend spending at least one night on Møn to get a feel for the local life – and to slow down. Remember to enjoy the clear starry skies.
  • Visit Møns Klint at sunrise or sunset. Fewer people + better light at one of Denmark’s best views = worth it!
  • Check the weather and wear proper shoes. The cliffs are best experienced in dry weather, and the stairs and forest trails can be steep and slippery. Comfortable walking shoes make a big difference.
  • Drink tap water. The water quality in Denmark is excellent. You can safely drink water from the tap.
  • You don’t need much cash. Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere on Møn, even for small purchases.
  • Book accommodation in advance in summer. Møn is a popular destination in the warmer months, especially around Møns Klint, so places to stay can fill up quickly.

Minimise your impact

To minimise your impact during your visit, follow these guidelines:

  • Bring your own drinking water in a refillable bottle.
  • Avoid single-use plastics, including straws.
  • Dispose of waste properly and never leave anything behind.
  • Check your sunscreen if you intend to swim. Many brands contain oxybenzone and other chemicals that are harmful.
  • Take only photos, leave only footprints. Let everything stay in its natural place.
  • Be considerate of other visitors.
  • Respect wildlife.

FAQ about visiting Møn and Møns Klint

Is Møn worth visiting?

Absolutely! Møns Klint alone makes it one of the most dramatic natural sights in Denmark, but the island has a lot more to offer: great beaches, dark sky stargazing, charming towns and excellent hiking.

It’s worth at least one overnight stay to do it justice.

How long do you need on Møn?

One to two days is enough to see the highlights, including Møns Klint, Stege town and a beach or two.

If you want to hike sections of the Camøno or explore Nyord, add an extra day.

Most visitors come on a day trip from Copenhagen, but we’d recommend staying overnight if you can.

Is Møn the same as Møns Klint?

Not quite. Møn is the island itself, while Møns Klint is the famous white chalk cliff on the eastern coast of the island (and its biggest attraction).

Think of Møns Klint as the highlight of a trip to Møn, rather than the destination itself.

Is Møns Klint free to visit?

Walking on the cliffs, the beach and the surrounding forest is completely free.

The GeoCenter Møns Klint has a separate entrance fee but is worth a visit, especially if you’re travelling with children. Parking at the cliff is paid.

Can you visit Møns Klint without a car?

Yes, but it requires a bit of planning. You can take a train from Copenhagen to Vordingborg and then connect via bus to Møns Klint.

We recommend checking the Journey Planner for up-to-date routes and departure times.

Is Møn good for families with kids?

Very much so. Møns Klint is exciting for children, the beaches are safe and family-friendly, there are hiking trails for all levels, and the GeoCenter has interactive exhibitions that kids enjoy.

The dark sky stargazing is also a memorable experience for the whole family.

What is the Camøno?

The Camøno is a 175-kilometre circular hiking trail that goes all the way around Møn. The name is a playful nod to the famous Camino in Spain.

You don’t have to walk the whole thing – many visitors just do individual sections or short day hikes. It’s a great way to experience the island’s varied landscapes.

  1. Thank you so much for this article. I have been planning a trip to Mon and wanting to walk The Camonoen Trail. My great-grandfather was born on the Island. What I would like to do and cannot find an answer is regarding bus service on the Island. I would like to drive to the starting point of one of the 10 stages., walk the stage and then take a bus back to my car. Is there bus service that follows the trail? Thank you for any help you can give. I have tried the trip planner, but I think I need to know more about the cities and streets for it to be helpful -could also be that I don’t understand how to use it. I also have a Calazo map of the area. Susan

    • Hi Susan. That sounds amazing! We haven’t walked Camønoen ourselves, but we can only imagine that the route showcases the very best of the island. As far as we can tell, there isn’t a specific bus service that follows the trail. Some stages are most likely much easier to access with public transport than others. An idea could also be to walk a stage in reverse if that makes more sense transport-wise. As some of the bus routes on Møn are season-specific, it’s important to enter the correct dates with the trip planner. If you have the Calazo map, the way we would go about the project ourselves would be to pick out a stage and then try to figure out if it’s possible to access the start/end of that stage with public transport using the right addresses/landmarks. In the summer, there’s a free electric bus that drives around the island. Otherwise, we would try to check out the routes of the local buses (like route 667). Best of luck and do let us know how it went!
