Kühlung Forest
Kühlung
Wooded terminal moraine hills behind the coast, with the highest point Diedrichshagen Hill at about 130 metres. A network of beech-forest paths and cycle trails crisscrosses the area.
The Kühlung Hills are terminal moraine hills left behind by retreating glaciers. They form a roughly 15 km belt of beech forest between Kühlungsborn and Bad Doberan. The whole area is a protected landscape, and its highest point, Diedrichshagen Hill, rises to about 130 metres. The forest has clearly marked walking and cycling trails, making it a good escape for hikers after a day at the beach. It is cooler than the seaside in summer, and in autumn the woods turn golden. You can enter the hills straight from the urban forest on the south side of town. Admission is free.
