Moen (Møn) biosphere reserve is a series of islands and islets located in the southern Baltic Sea.
When you are standing on the top of Møns Klint - 128 metres above the sea - you are also standing on top of the chalk foundation of Denmark. Uniquely, Denmark lies on a platform of chalk. Møns Klint is evidence of the powerful forces that created the country and the unique flora and fauna in the area. 18 different orchid species, and rare fungi that are not seen elsewhere in Denmark.
Only few places offer such diverse nature and well-preserved cultural heritage on a space of 450 squarekilometres as Møn, the surrounding islands and waters. From the chalk cliffs of Møns Klint, the peninsula Ulvshale and Nyord meadows to the Baltic Sea with bays, fjords to the starry sky, where on clear nights one can look through the milky way. All this is part of the Møn Biosphere Reserve and Dark Sky Park.
In the Møn Biosphere Reserve you have the unique opportunity to discover most Danish landscapes and species. This offers unique experiences and is a gift that has to be protected in partnership between the locals and the guests. Therefore, you should always pay attention to the rules for the protection and use of nature.
