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

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
Geology
The hills and the special composition of grounds of the Kühlung were created during the Last glacial period of Europe by the compression of moraines.
Hills
In the Kühlung, some of the sites called a "Berg" (Eng.: mountain) are merely promontories, while some summit sites are nameless.
Some summits and other "muntains" with their heights above sea level:
- Diedrichshagener Berg (129.8 m), the top site of all
- Deehsberg (113.2 m)
- Kalkberg (Kühlung)|Kalkberg (111.8 m)
- Großer Jägerberg (110.3 m)
- Zimmerberg (109.7 m)
- nameless top site of the Ivendorfer Höhen (109.7 m)
- Jägerberg (100.3 m NHN)
- Anningsbarg (99.3 m NHN)
- Dänenberg (93.,2 m, Ivendorfer Höhen)
- Bauerberg (92.8 m, Ivendorfer Höhen)
- Rauher Berg (90.2 m, Ivendorfer Höhen)
- Schlossberg (86 m)

- Franzosenberg (82 m)
- Bastorfer Signalberg (78.8 m NHN) with Bastorf Lighthouse
