Møns Klint is one of Denmark’s most famous excursion spots, and it’s clear why. The striking white cliffs tower up to 128 metres above the vibrant turquoise sea, stretching along seven kilometres of coastline. This stunning landscape both awes visitors and encourages discovery.
From tropical sea to chalk cliff: Around 70 million years ago, Denmark was submerged under a lively tropical sea. When tiny algae died, they settled on the seabed and, over millions of years, formed the chalk layer that now creates the majestic Møns Klint. Along the shoreline, remnants from this era can still be discovered, offering excellent fossil hunting opportunities. Among the finds are remains of sea urchins and belemnites—ancient squid-like creatures.
Fossil hunting by the cliff: Venture down to the beach and search among the fallen chalk blocks for hidden stories of the distant past. To help preserve the natural surroundings, it’s recommended to park at GeoCenter Møns Klint or Liselund and walk from there.
GeoCenter Møns Klint is a must-visit if you want to deepen your understanding of the cliffs and the history embedded in them. The center presents the geological story and ancient life in an engaging way, sparking curiosity and learning.
