Borre

Quiet village between Stege and Møns Klint

This quiet village halfway between Stege and Møns Klint makes a good base in the countryside, with a historic church and short trips to the chalk cliffs.

The small settlement of Borre shows typical Danish village architecture with red-brick buildings along a quiet village street.

Between the county town and the chalk cliffs

Borre lies in the east of the island, roughly halfway between Stege and Møns Klint. The small village was once a market town in its own right, but lost that status back in the late Middle Ages, when its bay silted up. Today Borre is a quiet place in the countryside, with a handsome old village church and the gently rolling Møn landscape typical of the area all around.

A handy base for day trips

Thanks to its central location, Borre is a practical place to stay: Møns Klint, the churches with their chalk-painted murals, Klintholm Havn and Stege are all just a few minutes away by car. Around the village you'll find holiday cottages and other accommodation well suited to a quiet stay away from the bigger towns.

Landscape and quiet

Borre suits travellers who want to experience Møn mainly as a nature destination: short distances to woodland and coast, little bustle, and plenty of open countryside. For everyday shopping and supplies, nearby Stege is the place to go.
