The Kühlungsborn beach promenade is one of the longest and most beautiful on the German Baltic coast. It stretches approximately four kilometers along the fine sandy beach and connects the districts of Kühlungsborn East and Kühlungsborn West. As you stroll, a fresh sea breeze blows, seagulls circle above the waves, and the sound of the Baltic Sea accompanies every step.
