Apart from a few drops of rain, the hiking weather was good. The coffee at Leuchtturm is recommended because of the wonderful hot chocolate and the good 🍰 cakes

New week, new routes! Hike to the Bastorf lighthouse with a stop at Valentin's. Simple but very good lunch, delicious ice cream, and especially the cakes and pastries. It was really crowded there; many other hikers had the same destination or were using it as a stopover on their return hike via the observation point at Riedensee, a nature reserve. …

In the morning it didn't rain at all (well almost), but the storm pushed us nicely down from the Bastorf lighthouse hill.

Before Kühlungsborn was formed from several villages, the districts were called Arendsee (West) and Brunshaupten (East).
From Signalberg/Lighthouse you have a beautiful view over the two districts, the sea and the Riederer See nature reserve

As always, our route planning fails because of the many, many crossed out dog signs. Küstenseeweg on the Riedensee is closed due to damage. Still we had a nice day!
