Geography
[edit]
The hill stands at 143 m (469 ft) and is the highest point in Møn island and the eighth in Denmark,[3] very close to Møns Klint.
Aborrebjerg is mainly covered by wood and shrubs like junipers; behind it some ponds are located.[4] The summit is marked with a circular stone.
Geology
[edit]
As well as the neighbouring cliffs Aborrebjerg bedrock is chalk, which originated during the Cretaceous and was later lifted to its present location by tectonic movements following the ice ages.[5]
Access to the summit
[edit]The can be easily reached through a waymarked footpath. From the summit there is a good view. With good weather looking west both Farøbroerne and Queen Alexandrine Bridge can be seen, while looking north one can see up to Stevns.[6]
