Mosede Fort
Museum
Open Details
Your journey continues through one of Denmark's pieces of history: Mosede Fort, a gigantic fort that looms over the bay of Køge.
Built during World War I to protect the bay from German attacks, today the fort houses an interesting museum about its history, but most importantly, a protected area where people can enjoy the green spaces around the fort.
It's quite romantic to see how a place that represented war in the past now represents a peaceful meeting place.
I advise you to take a moment to sit in the green area around the fort and contemplate the beauty and tranquillity of this place.

Jersie Beach
Beach
Open Details
Another key stop on your road trip is the beautiful Jersie Beach. This protected and unspoiled area is exceptional, featuring a dune landscape that gives you the opportunity to observe various types of birds, especially during their great migration period.
Jersie Beach offers you a privileged view of the natural beauty of our world, and at the same time it is the perfect place to take a romantic walk on the sand.
The beach is also great if you want to go for a swim, although the landscape is magical, especially in winter when I visited, with the dunes contrasting with the surrounding snowy landscape.

Vallø Slot
Castle

Continue your road trip by stopping to visit the small castle of Vallø.
The castle is truly magical and is embraced by a verdant park populated by imposing old trees. Walking around the park feels like entering a fairy world where myths and legends reign supreme. The moat surrounding the castle is home to swans and ducks that are gorgeous to look at.
Fun fact: if you are a movie lover, you might be interested to know that Vallø Castle was used as a location to film scenes for several Danish films, including the world-famous Gertrud by Danish film master Carl Theodor Dreyer.

The expansive green space surrounding the monument offers an unrivalled view, transporting you to an era older than the pyramids and filling you with awe and wonder.
For the more adventurous, you can enter the funerary monument through a narrow opening, but be sure to bring a torch to fully appreciate its unique features.

Trail to Møns Klint
Scenic Lookout
Open Details
If the River Huno fascinated me, there is no doubt that the imposing cliffs of Møn left me breathless, but above all, speechless to describe their beauty.
The view of the Baltic Sea from the Møn cliffs is unique and unforgettable. Looking down from that height was an incredible moment that I will always cherish. It's no surprise that this cliff was declared one of the most beautiful in Denmark.
For those who would like to admire the cliff from below, there is access to a small beach after descending 500 steps. The ascent and descent can be a bit tiring, but the view definitely makes up for the effort.

Your road trip to discover Denmark's nature treasures continues at a place that has a special place in my heart: the Roneklint Lighthouse.
In this hidden, green natural area, I felt free and walked barefoot along the beach to feel even more in touch with the natural power of this enchanting place.
Unforgettable was the view of the Præstø Fjord.

Take a stroll through the exterior of the residence and be thrilled by its beautiful gardens.
