Møns Klint
Møns Klint is a dramatic stretch of white chalk cliffs rising up to 128 meters above the Baltic Sea, capped with beech forest and reached via a steep staircase down to the beach below. It's one of the most striking natural landscapes in Denmark, and the geology exhibited in the cliff face — visible fossils and chalk layers — is explained at the adjoining GeoCenter.
Given the distance from Copenhagen, this is a full day-trip commitment rather than a quick stop, best done with a car and ideally combined with other sights on Møn given how far out it is.
