June 2, 2026, View of the Kellenhusen Pier

Kellenhusen Pier When it comes to offering our guests something special, we don't skimp. This is very evident in the Kellenhusen Pier: it's a proud 305 meters long, an impressive eye-catcher made of steel, concrete, and wood, and a popular meeting point for a chat besides.

The promenade ends below the parking lot. We couldn't determine whether the beach area further along towards Kellenhusen was accessible after the many storms... Nothing ventured, nothing gained. From there, towards Kellenhusen, there are only dozens of private properties. We detoured to Leuchtturmstraße (Lighthouse Street) to continue our hike.
