Bastorf Lighthouse (Buk)
Leuchtturm Bastorf
A white lighthouse on Buk Hill by the sea. Because of its high position it is known as one of the highest-set lighthouse lights in Germany, and visitors can climb it for the views.
The Bastorf Lighthouse was built in 1878. Its tower is only about 20 metres tall, but it stands on Buk Hill at an elevation of about 78 metres, so its light sits among the highest in Germany. From the top you can look down over the Kühlungsborn coast, the Salzhaff lagoon and Rerik in the distance, and on clear days you can see Wismar Bay. Admission is about EUR 3, and there is a café and small restaurant at the base of the tower. It is about 15 minutes by car or bike from the western part of Kühlungsborn.
Opening hours
Summer, 10:00 AM–5:00 PM
