The Molli steam railway (officially „Mecklenburgische Bäderbahn Molli“) is an absolute highlight on the Baltic Sea coast. The railway has been chugging along since 1886 with historic steam locomotives and carriages between Bad Doberan, Heiligendamm and Kühlungsborn.

Gemini said Kägsdorf is a real insider tip for anyone who loves the Baltic Sea but wants to escape the hustle and bustle of Kühlungsborn or Rerik (which are right next door). The village is located directly on the Riedensee nature reserve. This is a rare coastal lake landscape that is perfect for leisurely walks or bike tours.

The pirate playground in Kühlungsborn (directly on the promenade in Kühlungsborn West) is a real highlight if you are at the Baltic Sea with children. The huge wooden pirate ship, on which the kids can climb, slide and "set sail". It is wonderfully designed and really stimulates the imagination.

When you're out and about on the Baltic Sea coast, the Bastorf lighthouse (also known as „Buk“) is an absolute must. Although it's one of the smallest lighthouses in Germany, don't be fooled – its location makes it one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the region. Since the tower stands on the Bastorfer Berg, its light is a proud 95 meters above sea level. From the viewing platform, you have a panoramic view of the Mecklenburg Bay, which in good weather extends all the way to Fehmarn or even the Danish island of Lolland.
