The sky and the sea are separated by 500 steps: that is how high the chalk cliffs of Dronningestolen rise above the narrow beach – 128 metres, dizzyingly steep and dazzlingly white in the sunlight. The view from their leafy green summit stretches in a wide semicircle from north to south across the Baltic Sea.
A stunning part of Denmark
The ferry terminal in Trelleborg, Sweden, the Dornbusch on Hiddensee and Darßer Ort on the German side – each around 50 kilometres away – all lie just beyond the line of sight beneath the empty horizon. A truly fitting location for the ‘Queen’s Chair’ – and undoubtedly the most impressive stretch of Denmark’s rather lengthy coastline. Møns Klint shapes the landscape of the island of the same name in a unique way.
Plenty of good reasons to choose Klintholm
For sailors, a visit to the nearby harbour of Klintholm is doubly worthwhile: not only because Møns Klint and its visitor centre are easily accessible from here, but also because this town in the south-east of the island offers visitors travelling by boat not only extensive nautical and tourist facilities, but also the perfect setting for a summer holiday.
The perfect stopover
No other Danish harbour is as centrally located and as close to the open western Baltic Sea as Klintholm Havn. This makes it the perfect stopover on voyages to the Öresund and further north to the Kattegat or the Swedish south coast, to Rügen or Poland. But it is also an essential stop on cruises through the Småland Waterway, which connects the islands of Lolland, Falster, Sjælland and Møn, Klintholm Harbour as part of the standard range.
Lovely places for guests
The approach to its lit entrance is from the south-west. Please watch out for nets! Fixed jetties are provided for visitors in the western and front sections of the central basin. Here, you can moor in pile berths or alongside, well protected amidst a modern holiday apartment complex. Electricity and water are available. The harbour office, with its payment machine, is centrally located (telephone for further enquiries: +4524 42 21 82).
Sandy beach on both sides
The diesel filling station is also located there. Three toilet blocks are spread across the harbour. Anyone who has paid their mooring fee can sit back and soak up the relaxed atmosphere from the terrace of the Pier to Heaven bar. Incidentally, the outer and inner fishing harbours are still reserved for cutters and traditional vessels. However, large yachts can also moor here by arrangement with the harbour master. Groceries can be bought at Min Købmand. The sandy beaches flanking the harbour round off Klintholm’s ‘wellness offering’.
