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.

While strolling along the promenade, cafés and restaurants invite you to feast and small shops to browse. At the fish stalls, you can get a large selection of fresh fish, and for the World Fish Sandwich Day, even somewhat more unusual creations of herring, eel, and the like. The promenade is also the center of other events such as the Brückenfest, the Großer Dahmer Drachenfest, the New Year's Eve Beach Party, or the first swim of the year.

The promenade, almost seven meters wide, leads you to the pier, which is a popular meeting point and also a lookout over the sea. On Nystedtplatz in front of the pier stands a glacial erratic – the "Little Swede" weighs approx. 24 tons and is a reminder of the region's formation during the last ice age.

Attention sea dreamers: The promenade, which runs parallel to the beach, offers an unrestricted view of the clear water with its gently sloping dunes. It is 1.5 kilometers long and open towards the beach. The perfect place to enjoy the fresh, healthy sea air and the vastness of the ocean.
