Mons(Møns) Klint A Day in rural Denmark

On the way to the island of Mon, the bus passed through the rural landscape of Zealand as the guide elaborated about Danish culture, history, and facts of the Kingdom of Denmark.

On the way to Mons Klint, the tour will make a stop at the ”Fanefjord” Church. This pre-protestant church has some of Denmark's most amazing frescoes. The guide will introduce you to the church's frescoes and their visual storytelling. The guide will also introduce you to the reason for the architecture of Danish churches. Despite strict rules and laws, the church community maintained the wishes to maintain its beautiful frescos from the 1350s. Something worth stopping for while our guide introduces you to the church and some of the history of the Reformation in Denmark, including the changes in culture, beliefs, and the interior of the Protestant church.

For lunch, there will be a stop in the largest town on the island of Mon, Stege. In the very Danish rural, small town main street, you can find a variety of lunch options, from classic Danish to more international cousins, while you absorb the local atmosphere of a small rural Danish town. Enjoy a walk around to absorb the atmosphere of summer holiday visitors from around Europe mixed with the locals' busy summer life, all in a setting of a more than 600-year-old town, modernized in the 1800 century but pretty much remained the same layout across the centuries.

The highlight of the tour is the last stop at Mons Klint and Geocenter at the 128-meter-high white chalk cliff created by millions of years of dead sea crustaceans sinking to the bottom of the sea. Then, being compressed, and the entire seafloor was turned 90 degrees to become the amazing Mons Klint of today. Not too fare from the Goecenter is the tiny summer palace: Liselund with is lovely little romantic garden and the tiny summer palace. Worth a stroll if the cliff claiming is not to you linking. Entrance to the palace is rare, and there is no schedule for the opening hours or days. This will all be by chance, but you will surely enjoy the romantic 1700-century garden design. Also, the 400 years old forrest surround the Geocenter, and the Liselund castle is worth a walk in this almost untouched nature.
