The Kühlung |
The Kühlung is situated in the district of [[Landkreis Rostock|Rostock]], southeast of the [[Bay of Mecklenburg]] and south of the [[Baltic Sea]] coast, south and west of [[Bad Doberan]] and its seaside resort [[Kühlungsborn]]. The major part of this hilly landscape forms a [[protected area]]. The Kühlung is part of the [[Baltic Uplands]] that extend along the southern coast of Baltic Sea from [[Ostholstein]] to the [[Baltic republics]]. |

The ridge is extended from northwest to southeast on a length of about 23 kilometres and a width between three an eight kilometres. The northwestern part are a ridge of eleven kilometres length, called Driedrichshagener Berge, or – colloquially – simply "Kühlung". The Driedrichshagener Berge begin near the sea with the ''Bastorfer Signalberg'' (height 78.8 metres) with its widly visible ''Bastorf Lighthouse''. The northern slope of this ridge with its short valleys and deep natural pits ([[German language|Ger.:]] "Kuhlen" gave its name to the whole landscape. This slope is coverd by a contiguous strip of forest of a width between a half and one kilometre and a total area of 6,300 hectares.

In ist bongest valley there is a chain of ponds, the ''Hüttener Klosterteiche", that receive a higher level of protection than the rest of the Kühlung. |

The ridge runs from northwest to southeast and is around eleven kilometres long and two to three kilometres wide.

Die kuppige Hügellandschaft der Kühlung, die überwiegend von im Sommer kühlendem Mischwald (vor allem [[Buchen]], aber auch [[Eichen]]) bestockt ist, entstand während der letzten großen [[Eiszeit]]. Sie gehört zur Hauptendmoräne des Pommerschen Stadiums der [[Weichselvereisung]] (vor ca. 15.600 Jahren), und bildet gleichzeitig die Eisrandlage eines weiteren Gletschervorstoßes dieses Stadiums. Im Ergebnis dessen entstand hier eine markante [[Endmoräne|Stauchmoräne]]. In ihrer Struktur gleicht die Kühlung eher einem miniaturisierten Mittelgebirge. Es gibt überaus enge Täler und steile Anstiege, wie sie sonst für die Endmoränen des Baltischen Landrückens kaum üblich sind. Einige [[Findling]]e, insbesondere der ''Elefantenstein'' und die ''Schildkröte'' an der Ostseeküste beim nur wenige Kilometer entfernten [[Rerik]], weisen noch auf die „eisige Verfrachtung“ von Gesteinsmaterial hin. |

In der Hügellandschaft und in ihrer Umgebung gibt es viele Großsteingräber, die auf frühzeitige Besiedlung schließen lassen. Es gibt Gang- und [[Hünengrab|Hünengräber]], Groß- und Urdolmen aus der [[Jungsteinzeit]], die etwa zwischen 4000 und 3000 v. Chr. errichtet wurden. |

An verschiedenen Stellen bieten sich von den zahlreichen Wander- und Radwegen gute Aussichtsmöglichkeiten - auch auf die Ostsee.

The Kühlung is a forested ridge, up to 129.8 m above sea level (NHN), in the north German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The name may be derived from the word Kuhlen (referring to the extensive fissuring of this region).
Geography
The Kühlung is situated in the district of Rostock, southeast of the Bay of Mecklenburg and south of the Baltic Sea coast, south and west of Bad Doberan and its seaside resort Kühlungsborn. The major part of this hilly landscape forms a protected area. The Kühlung is part of the Baltic Uplands that extend along the southern coast of Baltic Sea from Ostholstein to the Baltic republics.
The ridge is extended from northwest to southeast on a length of about 23 kilometres and a width between three an eight kilometres. The northwestern part are a ridge of eleven kilometres length, called Driedrichshagener Berge, or – colloquially – simply "Kühlung". The Driedrichshagener Berge begin near the sea with the Bastorfer Signalberg (height 78.8 metres) with its widly visible Bastorf Lighthouse. The northern slope of this ridge with its short valleys and deep natural pits (Ger.: "Kuhlen" gave its name to the whole landscape. This slope is coverd by a contiguous strip of forest of a width between a half and one kilometre and a total area of 6,300 hectares. Another importand forest on the Kühlung is the Hütter Wohld in the east. In ist bongest valley there is a chain of ponds, the Hüttener Klosterteiche", that receive a higher level of protection than the rest of the Kühlung. The Hütter Wohld is situated on the eastern edge of the eastern part of dhe Kühlung, called Ivendorfer Höhen. This little highland is almost as broad as long. On top there are some forests on the soil of former mosses. A bit more than half of the whole Kühlung ist used for fields and greenland.[1]map of classified areas
