Cycling holiday on Møn

The panorama bike routes 421, 422 and 423. Three signposted routes of 18, 29 and 21 to 42 km, plus bike hire, ferry and map

Three panorama bike routes are signposted for a cycling holiday on the island of Møn: route 421 with 18 km through the hilly east, route 422 with 29 km from Stege via Ulvshale to Nyord, and route 423 with 21 or 42 km around Stege Nor. They are part of 26 panorama routes on Denmark's coasts, quality routes with places to eat, stay and special experiences. You hire bikes in Stege, and your own bike can travel on the Scandlines ferry. This page also covers the map, bike hire and tips for a bike tour on Møn. The most important thing first: cycling on Møn is demanding on route 421, but quite manageable on the family routes 422 and 423. Cycling on Møn means short stages, lots of coastline and some steep climbs in the east. For a cycling holiday on Møn, three days are enough for all three panorama routes.

The three routes at a glance

Route	Name	Length	Character
421	På toppen af verden (Danmarks Bjergetape)	18 km, plus 5.5 km detour to Klintholm Havn	very hilly, through the Klinteskov, mountain bike recommended
422	Ø-hop, på opdagelse med familien	29 km	family route from Stege via Ulvshale to Nyord
423	Den søde tur (The sweet tour)	21 km or 42 km	family loop around Stege Nor, can be combined with route 422

The routes are signposted and belong to the panorama routes 421 to 424 of Vordingborg Municipality. The lengths are as of October 2026. The route descriptions below come from brochures of 2016; check cafés and offers along the way in advance.

Climbing, surface and GPX

A GPX download is available for each route. Length and climbing come from an analysis of the OpenStreetMap relations, with heights from the EU-DEM on a 100-metre grid. The grid smooths out short steep climbs, so the real figures are more likely to be higher. The column on the right shows the surface according to the OpenStreetMap entries; where there is no entry, the surface is not known (as of 31 October 2026).

Route	Length according to GPX	Ascent / descent	Surface according to OpenStreetMap
421	17.1 km	180 / 180 m	78% asphalt, 22% gravel, fine gravel or compacted track
422	27.2 km	90 / 100 m	84% asphalt, 8% grass, 4% gravel, 3% compacted track, 1% cobbles
423	21.3 km	70 / 90 m	99% asphalt, 1% cobbles
424	33.3 km	160 / 100 m	83% asphalt, 2% unpaved, 1% cobbles, 13% no entry
Baltic Sea Route 8 on Møn	95.4 km	510 / 520 m	around 90% asphalt

Route 421 has the most climbing per kilometre, 180 m over 17.1 km, and the highest share of gravel. If you come with a road bike, you are better off on routes 422 and 423; for 421 a gravel or trekking bike is safer. According to Visit Sydsjælland-Møn, the Telefonstien path near Nyord is gravel and forest track and unsuitable for bikes with luggage.

Route 421: På toppen af verden

Route 421 is the most demanding of the three and is also called "Danmarks Bjergetape", Denmark's mountain stage. It is 18 km long and leads through the east of Møn and through the Klinteskov. It is very hilly and will make you sweat; a mountain bike is recommended. In return there are many views. A detour to Klintholm Havn extends the loop by 5.5 km.

Near the route are Møns Klint, the GeoCenter and the park of Liselund. If you are planning the route, do not pack the day too full: at the cliffs several hours add up quickly, and the walking trails there alone take between 1 hour 15 minutes and 6 hours.

Route 422: Ø-hop from Stege to Nyord

Route 422 is 29 km long and starts in Stege but can be joined at any point. It passes Møns Museum, the medieval town gate Mølleporten and the rampart of Stege, then goes via Udby through the new forest Udby/Stege Skov. Shortly after the rest area Mosehældgård you have a view of Stege Bay with the Dronning Alexandrines Bro and the islands of Lindholm, Tyreholm and Nyord.

On Ulvshale you ride along the beach ridge, a peninsula of sand, gravel and flint that the sea has planed off the chalk cliffs. Ulvshale is the largest holiday home area on Møn. In the forest lies the Naturcenter Ulvshalegård with a sensory trail that also passes the redoubt from the wars against England (1801 to 1814). At the Nyord bridge, salt meadows spread out that are flooded several times a year and belong to a large bird reserve. From the bird tower you can look out over the meadows. After that it is uphill to the rest area Børges Mark-hus with a 360-degree view.

In Nyord you come across well-kept farms, an octagonal church, Møllestangen as the smallest museum in Denmark, shops and galleries. You can have lunch at Lollesgaard or at the Café Noorbohandelen; at the harbour there are tables and benches for sandwiches you bring yourself. The Hyldevang Naturcenter has an accessible sensory garden and an accessible bird platform. For the return over the Nyord bridge it is best to take Ulvshalevej. The path Telefonstien is a gravel and forest track and is not suitable for bikes with trailers or luggage.

Route 423: Den søde tur

The "sweet tour" comes in 21 km or in 42 km if you combine it with route 422. It leads on quiet roads along Stege Nor, through small villages with half-timbered houses and over hills. The start is at the cyclists' rest room in the harbour of Stege, but you can join anywhere.

The tour begins sweetly: in the old sugar factory Møn Bolcher makes sweets, and children can make lollipops themselves. The sugar factory was in operation in Stege from 1883 to 1989. Stege Nor is a coastal lagoon 7 km long and 1.8 km wide, formed in the last Ice Age as a tunnel valley. With binoculars you can see birds at low water. In Svensmarke, a village with half-timbered houses and hollyhocks, StaySail rents canoes, kayaks and catamarans. Beyond Tåstrup a view opens up of the hinterland of Møns Klint, the "blue mountains". A 5 km detour leads to Keldbylille, to the museum farm Museumsgården and to a dairy farm with Møn ice cream. In Keldby stands a church from the 13th century with 15th-century frescoes by the Elmelunde Master; more on this place under Keldby. The tour ends in Stege. The big herring market there takes place on the first weekend in September.

The range includes city bikes, children's bikes, child seats, a trailer for two children, e-bikes and mountain bikes. It is best to phone for prices and opening hours.

Four days by bike: a suggestion of just under 100 km

The four panorama routes add up to a loop for four days with a total of 98.9 km and 500 m of ascent (GPX lengths):

Day	Route	Length	Ascent
1	423, Den søde tur around Stege Nor	21.3 km	70 m
2	422, Ø-hop from Stege to Nyord	27.2 km	90 m
3	421, På toppen af verden in the east, plus 5.5 km to Klintholm Havn	17.1 km	180 m
4	424 on Zealand around Jungshoved	33.3 km	160 m

Good bases are Stege for days 1 and 2, and Borre or Klintholm Havn for day 3. For day 4 you cross the Dronning Alexandrines Bro to Zealand. If you have only three days, leave out route 424 and you come to 65.6 km. You will find places to stay under Holiday homes on Møn, Camping on Møn and Accommodation on Møn. All places and sights along the routes are described in the overview Sights and activities. If you would rather be on foot, the circular trail Camønoen with 175 km is the alternative, see Hiking on Møn.

Bed+Bike. The Tiendegården on Sønderbyvej in Borre carries the Bed+Bike label for cyclist-friendly accommodation, has 15 beds and is open all year. It is 6.9 km from the GeoCenter and 10.1 km from Stege (VisitDenmark and Stay22, as of October 2026). More houses are on the page Bed & Breakfast on Møn.
