Day 8 (08/09) Stubbekøbing to Møns Klint via the Bogø ferry

Posted under Denmark Tour 2014

 

We arose early to strike camp at Stubbekøbing. We left the car there on site having agreed a parking fee with the site owner, and told him we would return in a few days time.

We left the campsite to catch the 10:00 ferry to Bogø. The ferry port was a convenient short ride down the road from the campsite of 10-15 minutes.

The ferry was a pleasant journey, and we journeyed on the ferry with one of the cyclists we had met the night before at the camp site. Having reached Bogø we said farewell to our travel companion who was journeying north, and started the ride from Bogø  to the west side of Møn which took us over the bridge linking the two islands.

The route was pleasant – fairly level and easy going for most of the way, and the weather was good. We stopped around half way at Stege for lunch at a cafe, and continued the ride to Møns Klint which was on the far east side of the island.  We passed several wind farms on the way – Denmark is noted for its use of renewable energy.

The final stage of the ride on the ascent to Møns Klint was exceptionally hilly in places and fully justified the addition of the Schlumpf Mountain Drive for use when towing the fully laden trailer! We needed the second lowest gear we had in places, but managed to ride all the way up every hill.

We arrived at the campsite shortly after 4pm, roughly when we expected. The campsite was lovely, with an separate tent field in a wooded area which we decided on straight away.

The ameneties block had several nests of swallows in the roof, and we took a number of photos.
