Anne Mette and I were monitoring the weather trying to find a day where we both would be able to go for a flight together, and last Thursday we were airborne:
It was a little windy when we took off from my flying club in Holbæk, but otherwise sunny with blue skies and lovely clouds:
We were going to the island of Møn, to see the Møns Klint from above. The island of Nyord on our way:
Nyord is a 5 km2 small island north of Møn, and can be reached from Møn via a bridge. Previously, the two islands were connected by a boat. But the boat wasn’t large enough to carry cattle or horses, and they had to swim along the boat. Now they can be transported with better care. Today this place is the Denmark’s first UNESCO biosphere reserve. There are no cars on the island, and basically there is nowhere to drive. There is a walking path with information boards, and the village of Nyord still has its historical houses and a church.
The town of Stege, with a population of around 4,000:
Klintholm harbour, a fishing village and a popular tourist resort:
And, finally, Møns Klint, a 6 km stretch of chalk cliffs along the eastern part of Møn:
Some of the cliffs fall 120 metres to the sea below. The cliffs and the park around them are a nature reserve. They are beautiful to visit at any time of the year:
We landed in Koster Vig, a small aerodrome on Møn, near the Færgemandens Hus. There were many wild siren trees flowering, and I got myself a small bouquet:
Anne Mette and I had our sandwiches:
and fruits for dinner in the club house which is a camping caravan on the aerodrome:
After the break, we headed back to Holbæk:
And we made sure we had enough time to watch the sunset from air:
It was a very nice evening, and both Anne Mette and I were happy we got airborne.
