Klintholm Havn

Klintholm Havn on the Danish island of Møn in the south of Denmark brings together a number of distinctive features. The famous white chalk cliffs of Møn lie just a few kilometres to the east, while Klintholm itself is situated on the island’s south coast, beside a long, curving bay. Peace, idyllic surroundings and seemingly carefree days define everyday life in the old fishing village of Klintholm Havn.
Klintholm Havn can be seen as the centre of a little holiday world of its own that has developed on the island of Møn. The town is surrounded by nature that invites you to seek adventure, go for walks and hikes, and explore by bike. Rising in brilliant white and warm beige, the famous chalk cliffs of Møn plunge steeply into the sea for more than 7 km. Comparisons with Rügen are inevitable. Møn’s counterpart to Rügen’s Königsstuhl is also the most striking and highest point of its almost vertical chalk cliff: Dronningestolen, or the Queen’s Chair. Several stairways lead from the high ground down to the beach, whose character encourages visitors to explore the cliffs more closely for geological finds. Particularly after storms, you can find belemnites, fossilised sea urchins and sponges, as well as the highly prized clapperstones.
The island’s natural beauty can inspire artists, writers and others. It is believed that “Danish lime painting”—whose works can be seen in many churches built entirely of stone and which are also part of Denmark’s cultural heritage—originated in Klintholm Havn.
