Møn is one of Denmark's most popular destinations for tourists with its white chalk cliffs, countryside, sandy beaches and the market town of Stege.

In June 2017, UNESCO designated Møn as Denmark's first biosphere reserve, consisting of "a series of islands and islets in the southern Baltic Sea, over approximately 45,118 hectares (111,490 acres).

Its landscapes include woodlands, grasslands, meadows, wetlands, coastal areas, ponds and steep hills.

The bridge was completed in 1984 and forms part of Euroroute E47 from Copenhagen (and Helsingborg) to Lübeck (and thence Hamburg and the south).

The cliffs, c. 6 km long and up to 128 metres tall, are Denmark's highest, and support a unique set of natural habitats.

Access to the narrow beach is via a flight of 500 steps from the parking area set within the beech forest behind the cliffs.

The GeoCenter Møns Klint, a geological museum tracing the origins of Denmark and the formation of the cliffs opened there in May 2007.

The combination of chalk in the subsoil with a dry local climate, and its agricultural use consisting primarily of cattle grazing, has created some of Denmark's richest meadowlands.

The miniature thatched palace and grounds were designed by Andreas Kirkerup, one of the foremost landscape architects of the times.

The Dark Sky Park Møn & Nyord has become a popular attraction for European and domestic tourists looking to escape the ever increasing light pollution in urban areas.

Fanefjord Church dates back to the 13th century, and has a set of recently restored frescos painted in 1450 by the Elmelunde Master.

According to legend, it is the resting place of Chief Grønjæger (Greenranger) and his wife Queen Fane, after whom Grønsund and Fanefjord were named.

There is another round barrow at nearby Rundysse, and a further recently restored 9 metre long double passage gallery grave at Klekkende Høj from the Neolithic age c. 4,500 years old.

Thorsvang, Danmarks Samlermuseum is a museum of collectables arranged in a number of old shops typical of the early 20th century.

During the Mesolithic era (6800-3900 BC) there is evidence from findings of small flint and bone tools that inhabitants of the island lived by hunting and fishing.

From around 5400 BC reforestation was complete, forming an inaccessible forest and forcing out the last of the big animals such as aurochs and elk.

The Neolithic era, (3900-1700 BC) saw the start of cattle farming spreading inland from the coastal settlements.

The lord had responsibility for maintaining order and collecting taxes, hosting visits from royalty and important guests, and judging legal disputes.

As a royal possession, the island was used as surety against loans made to the crown, and passed into various hands while debts remained unpaid.

Prince Witslav of Rügen held the island for 20 years from 1286, resulting in rebellions against him and further Norwegian raids.

The island, and Stege in particular, prospered in the 14th century from the results of herring fishing, reaching the height of its wealth around 1500.

In 1476, the town received confirmation of its historic rights and, in 1481, a further law forbade foreigners trading with farmers on Møn.

In 1510, the Lubeckers attacked Møn in retaliation for the trade sanctions, failing to take Stege but destroying the island's second largest town, Borre.

In 1538, Christian III once again repeated the trade ban, as the citizens of Stege still could not obtain sufficient food for the town.

This was prevented by the islanders, who maintained a three-mile long opening in the ice to stop the invasion force.

Stege was occupied, the town hall and 300 farms destroyed, the island looted and the harvest lost.

Frederick III introduced direct rule, replacing feudal regions with counties and attempted to restore the economy.

In 1684, the pledge was redeemed, at which time Stege was half in ruins, almost all the forests had been cut down and many farms had been abandoned.

In 1769, Crown property on Møn was sold which allowed farmers to buy their own land and wealthy individuals to create estates and begin to settle on the island.
