Møns Klint

10 km/6 mi along the road from Elmelunde one reaches the main attraction of Møn, the chalk cliff known as Møns Klint, the highest point of which is 128m/420ft above the sea. The brilliant white of the chalk standing out against the deep blue of the sea is particularly striking when the sun is shining. There are footpaths around the cliffs, with walks lasting about an hour, and two steep flights of steps lead from Storeklint and Jydeleje down to the sea. Fossils of marine animals and plants can be found on the shore. An expanse of beech forest along the cliff-top contains rare species of plants hidden in the undergrowth. A superb view can be enjoyed from Sommerspiret, a peak 102m/335ft high; at Taleren remarkable echoes can be heard. There is an archeological and geological museum in the park.
