Step into Denmark’s prehistoric past with a guided fossil hunting experience at GeoCenter Møns Klint, located beside the dramatic white chalk cliffs of Møns Klint. Formed over 70 million years ago during the Cretaceous period, these cliffs hide ancient marine fossils along the shoreline. The guided tour begins with a descent down Denmark’s longest staircase to the beach, where visitors search for fossilized sea creatures such as sea urchins, sponges, and squid-like belemnites. Along the way, expert guides explain the geological history of the cliffs and the ancient ocean that once covered this region.
