Møns Klint is a 6 km stretch of limestone and chalk cliffs along the eastern coast of the Danish island of Møn in the Baltic Sea. Some of the cliffs fall a sheer 120 m to the sea below. The highest cliff is Dronningestolen [da], which is 128 m above sea level. The area around Møns Klint consists of woodlands, pastures, ponds and steep hills, including Aborrebjerg which, with a height of 143 m, is one of the highest points in Denmark. The cliffs and adjacent park are now protected as a nature reserve. Møns Klint receives around 250,000 visitors a year. There are clearly marked paths for walkers, riders and cyclists. The path along the cliff tops leads to steps down to the shore in several locations.

On 29 May 2007, close to the cliff tops, the GeoCenter Møns Klint was opened by Queen Margrethe. The geological museum with interactive computer displays and a variety of attractions for children traces the geological prehistory of Denmark and the formation of the chalk cliffs. The museum was designed by PLH Architects, the winners of an international design competition.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2010 I created two large acrylic paintings for the GeoCenter Møns Klint, Denmark. Here are some close-up sections of the first, a Cretaceous wide view including Mosasaurus, Plioplatecarpus, a giant squid, Anomotodon, and others.

17.08-18.08: Møns Klint, Denmark

Bevor wir nach Kopenhagen sind, haben wir noch einen Zwischenstopp bei Møns Klint gemacht. Der Ort wurde uns von der Dänischen Familie empfohlen und war wunderschön. Die Felsen waren aus Kalk und hatten deswegen in der Sonne eine richtig schöne Farbe. Wir sind an den Klippen entlang gewandert und hatten einfach nur eine schöne Aussicht.☀️

Because of the special nature of the chalky soil, there are many rare plants in the area, particularly several varieties of orchid which are at their best in early summer. In particular, the tall lady orchid (Orchis purpurea) grows under the staircases leading down to the beach. The chalk also provides a distinctive light green tint to the beech trees along the top of the cliffs, maintaining their spring hues throughout the summer season. In the hilly park which stretches a couple of kilometers inland, there are a number of ponds and marshes, many populated by trees. Several signposted circuits provide opportunities for walkers, riders and cyclists to discover the surroundings.

In recent years, the peregrine falcon, the fastest of all birds as it swoops down to its prey at 350 km/h, has been observed breeding on Møns Klint. And the extremely rare large blue butterfly (Maculinea arion) can also be found in the area.
