Camønoen (Camøno Trail)
A modern pilgrim-style long-distance trail across the Danish islands of Zealand and Møn, ending at the chalk cliffs of Møns Klint.
Route overview
Camønoen is a modern long-distance walking trail across the Danish islands of Zealand and Møn, developed in the pilgrim-trail tradition popularised by routes such as the Camino de Santiago, though it has no historical pilgrimage origin itself. The route was created by a local volunteer initiative and is maintained with support from Danish tourism bodies. The trail passes through farmland, forest, and coastal scenery, finishing at Møns Klint, a dramatic stretch of white chalk cliffs on Denmark's eastern coast. Waymarking uses a distinctive shell-style symbol echoing the Camino tradition, and the route is designed to be walkable by hikers of varying experience levels. Accommodation ranges from small guesthouses to a scattering of simple shelters, making the trail accessible for both budget and more comfortable travel styles.
