Sights and activities on Møn

The ten best sights on Møn

1. Møns Klint

Møns Klint is a stretch of chalk cliffs about 6 km long on the east side of the island. The highest point, Dronningestolen, is 128 m above the sea. The chalk is more than 70 million years old. The GeoCenter and Vordingborg Municipality nominated the cliffs for World Heritage status, and they were inscribed on 13 July 2025.

For walking, the GeoCenter offers three marked routes: the Fossil Route (2.3 km, 1 hour 15 minutes, on the beach and in the woods), the Biodiversity Route (6.1 km, 2 hours, on forest paths along the edge) and Klintekongens Rige (14.5 km, 6 hours, across Høje Møn). The Maglevand staircase with 497 steps leads down to the beach beneath the cliffs. You can generally keep any fossils you find there; rare finds belong in the Natural History Museum. In summer, orchids bloom on the chalk meadows of Høje Møn, one species after another: 18 of the roughly 42 wild orchid species in Denmark grow here. More on the place is on the page Møns Klint; for routes, see Walking on Møn.

2. GeoCenter Møns Klint

The GeoCenter shows how the chalk formed and how the Ice Ages shaped the landscape. The building includes a 3D cinema, a glacier cinema, exhibitions on amber and flint, two virtual reality experiences and a workshop. The Café Møns Klint inside has a terrace at the edge of the cliffs.

The figures for 2026: day ticket 155 DKK for adults, 100 DKK for children aged 3 to 11, children under 3 free, 10 DKK cheaper online. Parking costs 45 DKK; your number plate is recorded at the entrance and you pay by QR code or at the machine. From 27 June to 9 August 2026 it was open from 10:00 to 18:00, from 19 to 30 October only from 12:00 to 16:00. The season ended on 30 October 2026, and the GeoCenter is closed until 20 March 2027 (as of October 2026). Dogs have to wait outside; guide dogs are allowed in.

3. Liselund

Liselund is a romantic landscape garden at the edge of the cliffs, laid out by Antoine Bosc de la Calmette and his wife Lisa towards the end of the 18th century. The National Museum calls it Denmark's best-preserved romantic garden. The park is open all year and entry is free. In the garden stand small houses in Danish, Norwegian, Swiss and Chinese styles: the pleasure palace of 1792, the Swiss House of around 1795, the Norwegian House and the pagoda-shaped Chinese pavilion. The pleasure palace can only be visited on a guided tour. The main building, Liselund Ny Slot, was built in 1886/87. Two cliff collapses, in 1905 and 1920, took away a good 8 hectares of the garden between them. Background on the place is on the page Liselund Castle.

4. Elmelunde Kirke

The church in Elmelunde is considered the oldest stone church on Møn; the masonry in the central part dates from the Romanesque period, around 1075. It is famous for the wall paintings in the vaulting, made around 1500 to 1520 by the Elmelunde workshop. They show Adam and Eve, the Last Judgement, the Three Kings, the Flight into Egypt and rare scenes from the childhood of Jesus, as well as pictures of everyday life such as ploughing and hunting. After the Reformation the paintings lay under limewash and were rediscovered in 1885. Photos and background are on the page about Elmelunde Kirke.

5. Fanefjord Kirke

Fanefjord Kirke stands on a hill above the Fanefjord between Store Damme and Hårbølle. The nave dates from the second half of the 13th century, and the porch and tower were finished around 1500. The oldest frescoes on the chancel arch were made around 1350, the best known, also by the Elmelunde Master, around 1500. They were uncovered from beneath the plaster between 1932 and 1934 and restored by 2009. A few hundred metres to the south lies the burial mound Grønsalen. The church fits well into a day in the south-west, for example with a detour to Hårbølle.

6. Stege

Stege has 3,811 inhabitants (January 2026). The town received market-town status in 1268. The Mølleporten, one of three original town gates, dates from around 1430 and is among the best-preserved fortifications in Northern Europe. Møns Museum has been housed since 1958 in the Empiregården of 1813 on Storegade. Cycle routes 422 and 423 start from Stege, and so does the Camønoen circular trail.

7. Nyord

Nyord, at just under 5 km², is a small island at the north-western end of Møn. Since 1968 a narrow bridge has connected it to Møn; before that the post boat Røret ran there, in service since 1902. The village has an octagonal church, thatched farms, shops and galleries, the farm Lolles Gård with its restaurant and, in Møllestangen, the smallest museum in Denmark. On the salt meadows by the Ulvshale-Løb lies a bird reserve with an observation tower. The area has been a Ramsar wetland since 1977.

8. Klintholm Havn

Klintholm Havn lies on the south-east coast. The harbour was built in 1878 by the estate owner C. S. Scavenius to export produce from the estate and chalk. Today it has a marina and serves as a service harbour for the Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm. Next to the harbour there are two sandy beaches. On 5 May 1945 a barge carrying 370 starving prisoners from the Stutthof concentration camp landed here; local people saved 351 of them. A memorial commemorates this.

9. Dark Sky Park Møn og Nyord

Møn and Nyord form the first Dark Sky Park in the Nordic countries. The International Dark-Sky Association recognised it in 2017. Stargazing spots are the park at Liselund, the bird tower on Nyord, Jydelejet, Aborrebjerg, Hunosøen and Kongsbjerg, plus the observatory in Damsholte when it is cloudy. The experience costs nothing and dogs are allowed. More on Stargazing on Møn.

10. Beaches

Møn has sandy beaches in the north at Ulvshale, in the south-east at Klintholm Havn, in the south-west at Hårbølle and on the south coast at Råbylille. At the foot of the chalk cliffs, by contrast, lies a stony fossil beach, not a swimming beach. Practical advice on swimming is on the page Swimming on the island of Møn; a list of all beaches is on the page Beaches on Møn.

Walking, cycling and other activities

The circular trail Camønoen runs for 175 km around Møn, Bogø and Nyord. It is divided into 10 stages and two shortcuts and starts and ends at Møns Museum in Stege. The stages are between 8.7 and 38.1 km long. All three panorama cycle routes are on the page Panorama bike routes: 18, 29 and 21 or 42 km. There are also separate pages on kitesurfing, horse riding and angling. A short page is devoted to the thought banks.

With children

The GeoCenter has a workshop for children and their grown-ups, and children aged 3 to 11 pay 100 DKK. The guided fossil hunt on the beach takes about an hour and cost 25 DKK per person in 2026, on top of admission; it is not suitable for people with walking difficulties, wheelchair users or pregnant women. The climbing park at the GeoCenter is open from age 6 (tree climbing), from age 8 and 135 cm (rope course) and from age 10 and 145 cm (zip line) (as of 2026). The water is shallow at the beach at Ulvshale. Cycle route 423, the "sweet tour", leads to the sweet maker Møn Bolcher in the old sugar factory, where children can make lollipops. More ideas for families are on the page Møn with children.

When it rains

In bad weather the GeoCenter is the first place to try: exhibitions, 3D cinema, glacier cinema and virtual reality are all in the building, and so is the café. In Stege, Møns Museum is in the Empiregården; times and prices are on museerne.dk. Note that the GeoCenter is closed from the end of October to the end of March (2026/27: 31 October to 20 March). The Liselund park, by contrast, is open all year.
