Møns Klint

Møns Klint is a dramatic line of chalk cliffs on the eastern coast of the island of Møn in southeastern Denmark, formed by Cretaceous chalk and exposed along the shoreline. The cliffs reach heights of about 128 metres and form a steep white escarpment above the Baltic Sea.

The site offers a network of cliff-top walking routes, marked viewpoints and stair access to shingle beaches where Cretaceous fossils can be found. The GeoCenter at Møns Klint provides exhibitions and educational displays about the geology, fossils and natural history of the cliffs.

The cliffs formed over millions of years through marine deposition and subsequent erosion, and they are notable for their exposed chalk layers and fossil-bearing strata. Conservation and visitor interpretation aim to balance access with protection of the fragile cliff environment.

Møns Klint lies on the eastern shore of Møn, within Zealand county, and is reached by road from the main ferry and road links to the island; it is a distinctive natural attraction in southern Denmark.

• Cliff height: The cliffs rise to about 128 metres above sea level at their highest points and stretch along several kilometres of Møn's eastern shoreline.
• Fossils and safety: Fossil hunting is a common activity on the shingle beaches below the cliffs; visitors should follow local safety guidance and tide information when accessing the beach.
