The area is a haven for naturalists and geology enthusiasts, providing insights into the Cretaceous period. The park's diverse ecosystem includes ancient beech forests, rich in flora and fauna, which support rare species such as peregrine falcons and orchids. Visitors can explore numerous trails that meander along the cliffs and through the woodlands, offering panoramic views and birdwatching opportunities. History buffs will appreciate the significant fossil findings in the region. The Geocenter Møns Klint provides interactive exhibits about the geology and natural history of the area, enhancing the visitor experience.
