Møns Klint & Forest Tower Day Trip from Copenhagen

Summary

Chalk cliffs, treetop walks and Danish countryside in a day

You’ll feel Denmark shift under your feet as you climb through treetops on the Forest Tower walkway, taste local dishes at Café Møns Klint, and stand above chalk cliffs with wind in your hair—all with a local guide handling every detail. Expect laughter, fresh air, and moments of real quiet you might not have known you needed.

What’s the experience like?

We were already halfway up the Forest Tower when I realized my hands smelled faintly of pine from the railing. Our guide, Anders, was telling us about how this spiral walkway only opened in 2019—he actually grinned when someone asked if Danes really hike in all weather (they do, apparently). The climb wasn’t hard but I stopped more than once just to look out—patches of forest below, the sky shifting between sun and that soft northern gray. It’s not quiet up there; you hear birds and sometimes someone laughing a few levels down. At the top, the wind hit me right in the face—cold and clean. I didn’t expect to feel so awake.

After we crossed the bridge (Anders gave us ten minutes for photos—he joked it’s “the Instagram stop”), we headed toward Møns Klint. The drive itself felt like a little window into Danish countryside life: tidy farms, those red-roofed houses, fields that looked almost too green for October. Lunch at Café Møns Klint was simple but good—I ordered something I can’t pronounce (Li laughed when I tried to say it in Danish), but it tasted like comfort food after the walk.

The cliffs themselves are something else. Møns Klint is wild chalk white against the Baltic Sea—hard to believe you’re still in Denmark. We took the bus to the top and stood there for a minute just staring out; even Anders got quiet for a second. Some people went down to the beach (there are about 200 steps—I counted on the way back up because my legs were burning), others just walked along the edge. There’s this odd silence near the cliffs except for gulls and your own feet crunching on gravel. I still think about that view sometimes when things get noisy at home.
