Møns Klint UNESCO World Heritage Site
Møns Klint is one of Denmark’s most iconic excursion destinations, and it is easy to see why. The white cliffs rise up to 128 metres above the turquoise sea and stretch along seven kilometres of coastline. It is a landscape that both impresses and invites exploration.
From tropical sea to chalk cliff
Around 70 million years ago, Denmark lay beneath a tropical sea full of life. When microscopic algae died, they sank to the seabed and, over millions of years, formed the chalk layer that today makes up Møns Klint.
Along the beach, you can still find traces from that time. There are great opportunities for fossil hunting, where you can find, among other things, remains of sea urchins and belemnites from ancient squids.
Go fossil hunting by the cliff
Head down to the beach and try your luck among the fallen blocks. Small stories from a distant past are hidden here if you look closely. To protect nature, it is recommended to park at GeoCenter Møns Klint or Liselund and walk the rest of the way.
