Ulvshale & Nyord
Møn's best beach,
Ulvshale Strand
, sprawls along Ulvshale peninsula, 6km north of
Stege. This pristine stretch of gently sloping white sand is created by pieces of cliff wash-
ing around the coast from Møns Klint. The beach is popular with windsurfers and holds a
Blue Flag award (an international eco-label for the sustainable development of beaches
and marinas). Ulvshalevej runs alongside - and it's edged by one of the few virgin woods
left in Denmark (look out for adders). The forest extends to the end of the peninsula,
where there's a narrow bridge to the island of Nyord.
Nyord has only been connected to the Møn mainland since 1968. Its former isolation
safeguarded it from development, and today the sole village (also named Nyord) is a per-
fect cluster of 19th-century thatched cottages, surrounded by idyllic gardens. Cars are
banned (there's a car park outside), so the loudest sound is the chattering of swallows.
Much of the 5-sq-km island, particularly the east, is given over to marshland and salt
meadows. There's a
bird-watching tower
about 1km west of the bridge - you can't miss
it in this flat landscape. Birds include ospreys, kestrels, rough-legged hawks, snow
buntings, ruffs, avocets, swans, black-tailed godwits, Arctic terns, curlews and various
ducks.
