This past Friday, I went on one of the best hiking trips of my life. In southern Denmark, about 3 hours away from Copenhagen by public transit, is a place called Møns Klint. It's a white chalk cliff right on the ocean, and it's absolutely stunning.
I had to take a train and two buses in order to get there, and I definitely improved my public transit skills and gained some confidence on the way.
Once you get there, the cliffs are free to visit, and there is a lot of good hiking to be had in the park. The first thing I did was go down to the narrow shore at the bottom of the cliffs. This involved going down, and inevitably back up, 994 steps. Despite the exhaustion I felt afterwards, the views were undoubtedly worth it.

I also hiked the trails on top of the cliffs and found even more amazing things to see. The ocean water was so clear that you could see where there were and weren't patches of seaweed. It made for a beautiful experience that I can't find the words to describe. Good thing I have a camera!

The forest that I hiked through on top of the cliffs was also filled with beauty. I did manage to get myself lost in it for a while, though. I had accidentally wandered off the trail. Everything was so green. It reminded me a lot of hiking in the state parks back in Indiana.
Møns Klint is beautiful and definitely makes the list of things a person must see if they ever visit Denmark. I was quite sore the next day, but didn't mind at all.
