Kellenhusen

Kellenhusen is a spa town and municipality on Germany's Baltic Sea coast near the Luebeck Bay. The place stretches across an area with a beach promenade, residential neighborhoods, and green spaces right by the sea.

The area was originally settled by a family named Kellen, whose name is reflected in today's place name. In the 19th century, it developed into a spa town after the railroad made the coast accessible.

The name comes from 'Kellens Husen,' referring to an ancient settlement of a family called Kellen. The village has kept its traditional character, with houses typical of the Luebeck Bay region, and a way of life shaped by the seasons and the sea.

The place is easy to reach by car or train and has a flat, easy-to-walk beach. Parking is available along the promenade during the season, and the infrastructure is set up for visitors.

The beach here is known for its wide, gentle slope, which makes it particularly safe and pleasant for swimming. This flat nature has attracted families with children for generations who appreciate the calm, shallow water.
