White chalk cliffs rising up to 128 m above the Baltic Sea on the island of Møn, a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Long wooden staircases lead down to the beach, where you can hunt for fossils. The GeoCenter Møns Klint explains the cliffs and their 70-million-year history.


Walk along the cliff top through beech forest. Møn is also a Dark Sky Park, great for stargazing. It's about 2 hours from Copenhagen by car.
