Møns Klint

by Natalie Kjaergaard

Today my dear friend Vagn and I had a short and wonderful flight together.

Days have become slightly longer, and with the right logistics in place it is possible to get a decent flight after work. We first headed west, but… Look at that wall of fog:

It suddenly appeared near Holbæk. Behind that wall there are villages, roads, a windmill farm – they were literally invisible. The wall was moving against us, and we quickly diverted.

We could see there were snow storms here and there, but we could easily fly between them. We decided to go south, as it looked like the weather was better there.

Flying by Vagn’s home airfield – Kræmmersten. Its four runways are clear in these snowy landscapes:

The sky was slowly clearing of clouds in front of us:

Beautiful places are all around Zealand:

We soon reached the island of Møn and flew a bit around. Bøgestrøm:

Landed in Koster Vig (EKMN), and the wheather was perfect for an al fresco meal in the garden:

After enjoying the late afternoon sun two happy pilots decided to go for a round over Møns Klint:

Møns Klint (English: The cliffs of Møn) is located on the eastern side of the island of Møn. It is a line of several kilometres of steep chalk cliffs:

The lighthouse on the photo below is from 1845. Originally it was fitted with a fixed lens device, but later exchanged with a larger one, and later again with a rotary device.

The cliffs are spectacular, from air, water, from the ground. Some of the cliffs fall a sheer 120 metres to the sea below. I’ve explored them so many times on foot, it is one of my favourite places in Denmark.

One more lighthouse, and I couldn’t find any info about it:

Møns Klint is a nature reserve, around 250.000 people visit it every year. It is a truly magnificent place, from all angles.

One more beautiful day worth having a memory of…
