Panorama Photo

Despite eastern Møn having almost montanian character - at least for danish proportions, only 2 hills have decent viewpoints. One of these is the Kongsbjerg. However, only the southern view is clear, but still a nice place to visit. From here one can see Rügen and Hiddensee, as presented earlier. Also the southern coastline down towards Falster, and southern Sjælland are visible.

Of particular interest is the southfaced slope, having its own name, Høvblege. The "blege" part of the name corresponds with english "bleech", refering to the chalk underground. This is a small, but very important site, hosting the only danish populations of Zygaena purpuralis and Maculinea arion. The slope has large and dominating populations of Onobrychis viciifolia, Linum austriacum, Dactylorhiza maculata ssp. fuchsii, Orchis purpurea and Platanthera chlorantha, among others.
