DeutschLighthouse BUK near Bastorf
Bastorf is located about 3 kilometres from Kühlungsborn. A hike or bike ride to this small place is worthwhile, because here you will find Germany's highest lighthouse on the survey "Buk".

Coffee and cakes are also provided, as the café Valentin is right next to the lighthouse.
