Sømarke on Møn: Hilly landscape, megaliths and the Camønoen

Hilly landscape and village character

Directly east of Sømarke lies Sømarkedyssen in eastern Møn, near Møns Klint in the hilly landscape area known as “Høje Møn”. It is located 90 metres above sea level. If you are looking for accommodation with a strong connection to the landscape and the local area, the hilly setting and proximity to Møns Klint are therefore key considerations when choosing your location.

East of Sømarke lies a gently undulating plateau with denser vegetation, wooded strips, small plantations and lakes. As a result, the landscape alternates between large and small scales. If you value varied landscapes when choosing a location, this change is an understandable criterion.

Sømarke is part of a belt of village and estate landscapes in Høje Møn. It stretches from Sømarke via Magleby and Klintholm Gods to Mandemarke and eastwards to Busene. In the northern part of Høje Møn, the landscape rises steadily from west to east as far as Sømarke; individual larger wooded strips do not follow any fixed structure.

In Sømarke, the buildings remain concentrated around the village centre. The original settlement structure has been preserved despite the replacement of houses and the disappearance of several original farms.

Megaliths and Baltic Sea views

Sømarkedyssen has a large, open, octagonal burial chamber. Above the passage is a massive capstone with around 200 bowl-shaped depressions. A total of 458 cup marks have been recorded at Sømarkedyssen. It is precisely the combination of chamber, passage, capstone and cup marks that makes the site a detailed example of tangible cultural heritage.

Approximately 1.5 km north of Sømarkedyssen, three Bronze Age burial mounds lie in a row. They offer views of the Baltic Sea from Liselundvej.

The dolmen located on Stendyssevej east of Sømarke consists of seven supporting stones and a large capstone.

The Camønoen and a specific connection to accommodation

The 175 km-long Camønoen hiking trail passes very close to Havehøjegaard in Sømarke and leads across the islands of Møn, Nyord and Bogø. Its length and route across the islands make it interesting if you want hiking through several island landscapes to shape your travel rhythm.

The Camønoen offers different levels of difficulty and is suitable for experienced hikers as well as beginners, adults and children. This allows the hiking concept to be weighted differently according to experience and age.

The main route of the Camønoen is marked with orange signs, while the alternative routes are marked with ochre-yellow signs.

Havehøjegaard is a bed and breakfast in Sømarke. Havehøjegaard serves an organic breakfast based on the farm’s own production of fruit and vegetables. This is a specific detail to consider if you also pay attention to the origin of breakfast ingredients when choosing accommodation.
