Eastern Møn, known locally as “High Møn,” is arguably the most beautiful place in Denmark, boasting a rich history, ancient monuments, and picturesque villages. The island offers diverse attractions ranging from medieval towns and stunning cliffs to charming beaches and culinary delights.
Møns Klint, a majestic cliff formation, is a highlight, offering hiking trails and a unique landscape. The “Klintekongens Rige” trail has even been recognized as one of Europe’s best. Visitors can descend the 497 steps of Maglevandstrappen to reach the beach below, or explore the Møns GeoCenter museum located nearby. Not far from the cliff, Villa Huno offers luxurious hotel apartments and glamping, alongside pop-up restaurants.
Stege, Møn’s main town, showcases well-preserved medieval architecture. Mølleporten, a town gate dating back to the 1400s, is a notable landmark. Thorsvang – Denmark’s Collector’s Museum offers a nostalgic glimpse into the past. Several dining options are available, including Café Davids for veal fillet sandwiches, and Hotel Møen or Det Gamle Bryghus for traditional “smørrebrød.”
Beyond the cliffs and town, Møn offers a variety of experiences. Ulvshale Beach and the island of Nyord, named as one of Denmark’s most beautiful villages, are located north of Stege. In western Møn, Hårbølle Beach offers a secluded escape. Fanefjord Church showcases stunning frescoes. Northwestern Møn is home to Kalum Vineri, a sparkling wine producer.
Other notable attractions include the Dark Sky Park and Community on Møn and Nyord, the Camønoen hiking route, and the UNESCO Biosphere area designation. Visitors can also enjoy local ice cream, music festivals, yoga retreats, and fishing opportunities.
