The picturesque island of Møn, known for its breathtaking chalk cliffs and tranquil landscapes, is home to a number of special places known as “Tænkebænke” or thought benches. These carefully selected spots invite locals and visitors alike to pause for a moment and take in the natural beauty of the surroundings.
A place of peace and reflection
The benches on Møn are more than just simple seats. They symbolize a space for tranquillity and personal reflection. At these specially selected locations, which often offer breathtaking views of the Baltic Sea, the chalk cliffs of Møns Klint or the idyllic landscape of the island, visitors can enjoy a moment of silence and be inspired by nature.
The story behind the thought banks
The idea of the thought benches arose from the desire to preserve the unique nature of Møn and at the same time create a framework for personal reflection and appreciation of this beauty. Each bench has its own history and was donated by the community or individuals who have a deep connection to the respective place.
How to find the thought banks
The thought banks are spread across the island and form a quiet route through some of Denmark’s most picturesque landscapes. They are not only destinations for hikers and nature lovers, but also places where you can pause for a moment during a bike tour or a walk. The locations of the thought benches can be easily found using an interactive map that shows visitors the way to these special places.
Invitation to slow down
In today’s fast-paced world, Møn’s thought benches offer a rare retreat. They remind us how important it is to stop occasionally, take a deep breath and enjoy the moment. Whether you are lost in thought as you gaze at the vastness of the sea, listen to the wind rustling through the trees or simply enjoy the silence – the thought benches are places where time seems to stand still.
We invite you to visit Møn and experience the calming effect of these special places for yourself. Take the time to sit down on one of the many benches and let the natural beauty of the island take effect on you. It’s an experience you won’t soon forget.
