Kühlung
The cooling is up to 129.8 m above sea level. NHN high, partly wooded ridge in Mecklenburg -Western Pomerania west and south of Bad Doberan. The name derives from the word " hollows " that, based on a highly rugged northern slopes with small valleys and depressions. Large parts are the conservation area.
Geography and landscape
Cooling is located in the southeast district of Rostock in Mecklenburg Bight and south of the Baltic Sea coast. It is part of the East Holstein from the coast pulling Baltic country back. The ridge is a total of about 23 km long and up to 8 km wide and extends from the cliffs north of Rerik in the North West to Hanstorf in the southeast. Geologically it is a moraine. It consists of two parts, the Diedrich Hagen mountains in the northwest and the Ivendorfer heights in the southeast. Originally the name referred cooling only on the rugged valleys and lower forested slope on the north side of Diedrich Hagen mountains. From this he went to the crest of the mountains more than Diedrich Hagen and is known as in the sense in which it is used in earth sciences and management in this sense. Just over half of the ridge are covered with fields and grassland. The forests are predominantly mixed forest with a high proportion of houses, but also some oak trees.
Diedrich Hagen mountains
The Diedrich Hagen mountains and thus the cooling in the colloquial sense, eleven miles long and two to three kilometers wide. You start with the 78.8 m high Bastorf Signal Hill, the lighthouse Bastorf is widely visible on the, and reach the Diedrich Hagen mountain almost 130 m above sea level. NHN. On the northern slope of Diedrich Hagen mountains there is a continuous strip of woods, which is wide between 500 meters and one kilometer and covers a total area of 6300 hectares. Near Kropelin the high ridge ends. In the Kropeliner sink with the peat bog (also proper name ) is the apex of the cooling only 73 m above sea level. NHN.
Ivendorfer heights
The Ivendorfer heights are up to eight kilometers wide plateau east of Kropeliner Valley, the three places over 100 m above sea level. NHN achieved and on the northeast flank veritable slopes and valleys has, particularly in the Huetter Wahld at Parkentin. Apart from this there are also forests on the plateau, some these are former high moors.
Geology
The domed hills of cooling created during the last great ice age. It belongs to Hauptendmoräne the Pomeranian stage of the Vistula glaciation (about 15,600 years ago), and also forms the ice stage of another glacier thrust of this stage. Because the ice of the later ice was not as thick and heavy that they could have the old terminal moraine can overcome this rocky material was pushed up from the bottom of the glacier from some longer distances and attached to the old terminal moraine. So here was a striking moraine. In her relief offsets the cooling is more like a miniature mountain range. There are very narrow valleys and steep climbs, as they are otherwise not usual for the terminal moraines of the Baltic country back. The eponymous Kuhlen caused by slowly melted Alteisblöcke. Some species show more attention to the " icy shipment " of rock material.
Cultural heritage and tourism
On the hills and in its surroundings there are many megalithic tombs, suggesting early colonization. There are speed and megalithic tombs, wholesale and Urdolmen from the Neolithic period, which were built around 4000-3000 BC.
Have collected in different places of the numerous hiking and biking trails good view options - including the Baltic Sea. It comes down past the interesting natural monuments, such as graves and boulders. In addition, there are a few mansions, neo-Gothic buildings, Art Nouveau villas and parks.
