Ulvshale

Protected and almost untouched

Ulvshale is the peninsula to the north of the Isle of Møn. The peninsula is formed of material from Møns Klint, a 6 km stretch of chalk cliffs along the eastern coast of Møn, which is led there by the ocean currents.

Across the 700 hectares big nature area of Ulvshale, you will find 19 different terrestrial habitat nature types. The area mostly consists of a mosaic of light-open nature types such as heathland, beach, salt marshes and juniper dunes, and in the middle of the area an untouched forest area is found covering half of the peninsula.  Here, narrow paths take you through all the most common Danish trees including beech, birch, elm, aspen, ash, alder, rowan and above all oak.

The western side of the forested area is covered with extensive pastures offering excellent breeding grounds for a wide variety of birds including ducks, geese and herons as well as many migratory birds.

The nature on Ulvshale is protected both through national and international legislation, the peninsula, as an example, is a part of a Natura 2000-area. In 2017 Isle of Møn was appointed UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. In the same year The international Dark Sky Association IDA designated Møn as Denmark’s first Dark Sky Park. In 2022, Ulvshale was designated as one of 15 Nature National Parks in Denmark.
