Destinations
The ride on the Molli takes you through the largest German Baltic resort of Kühlungsborn, past the white town by the sea - Heiligendamm, to the cathedral town of Bad Doberan, where it steams through the middle of the main shopping street. But the journey alone is not the only thing worth seeing. There is also plenty to discover along the route. You can find our excursion tips here.
Baltic Sea beach, art gallery & Balticplatz
From Kühlungsborn West train station, it's just a 10-minute walk to Baltic Platz with the historic Villa Baltic and the Kunsthalle art gallery nearby. Here you can linger on the numerous benches, enjoy the view of the Baltic Sea or let off steam with your children on the Arendsee playground.

Kühlungsborn East
Kühlungsborn Ost station is the perfect starting point for a stroll along Strandstraße, which leads directly to the pier. From here you have a great view of Kühlungsborn and can even see Heiligendamm to the east. The adjacent lakeside promenade and the fine sandy beach also invite you to linger.

MS Baltica
Take a nostalgia tour on water, on land and by rail. From mid-June to the end of October, you have the opportunity to start your excursion in Warnemünde with the MS Baltica. After your arrival in Kühlungsborn Ost, you have a 1.5-hour stopover before boarding the Molli at Kühlungsborn Ost station and continuing on towards Bad Doberan. After half an hour's ride, you can visit the cathedral in Bad Doberan. Afterwards, take the Molli back to Kühlungsborn Ost and from there take the MS Baltica back to Warnemünde.
Cliffs
During the summer timetable, the Molli regularly stops at the Steilküste stop. As the name suggests, you can take a walk along the cliffs from here. It is around 45 minutes on foot to Heiligendamm. In the direction of Kühlungsborn to the harbor it is about 25 minutes.
Heiligendamm - White City by the Sea
The white city by the sea takes its name from the unique ensemble of neoclassical buildings. Even the station building welcomes you in its white robe. The pearl necklace of villas parallel to the beach promenade and the former Kurhaus and today's Grand Hotel Heiligendamm are particularly worth seeing.
As early as 1793, the personal physician of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, Friedrich Franz I, recognized the positive effects of the Baltic Sea and Heiligendamm became the first German seaside resort. With its white sandy beaches, blue sea and crystal-clear air, it still attracts numerous visitors today.
