Get to know the place
The island of Møn lies south of Zealand and is connected by road to the rest of Denmark. Stege concentrates services and lets you arrange travel to the east, where the coast changes from beaches and fields to chalk cliffs facing the Baltic.
Møns Klint is the focus of the trip. Paths along the top pass through forest and reach viewpoints; stairways connect down to the beach. The GeoCenter explains the marine origin of the rocks and the effect of ice on the landscape. Nearby, Liselund offers a landscaped garden with ponds and small buildings.
The seasons are reversed. Danish is spoken, and English is widely used in tourist services.

To choose before you go
Where each tour starts, how long it takes, how it is done, what is included and the price range.
Leave Stege for the eastern coast. Walk along the viewpoints of Møns Klint before choosing the descent via stairways. Reserve the other part of the day for the GeoCenter exhibitions, which explain the marine origin of the chalk and the action of glaciers. The upper path and the beach demand different levels of effort.
Stops: Møns Klint, GeoCenter Møns Klint.
Walk around the lakes and glades of Liselund, observing the old house and the garden pavilions. Visiting the park can take a morning and does not necessarily include entering the buildings. On the return to Stege, allow time to arrange the next day’s travel.
Stops: Liselund Have.

Before you go
A little planning leaves more time to enjoy the journey.
From May to September days are usually longer and suitable for walks. Between November and March the cold and short days typically reduce outdoor time; check the GeoCenter season.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Allow two days for Møns Klint, the GeoCenter and Liselund. With a third day you can spread walks out instead of concentrating all travel into one day.
Stege concentrates services and restaurants. The rural area in the east brings accommodation closer to the trails, but increases dependence on a car or on planned transfers.
Take your trash with you, follow the signs and support local businesses. In natural areas, follow the visiting guidelines.
