Experience the laid-back luxury of one of Germany’s oldest seaside spa resorts, where beachside promenades and wellness facilities make relaxation a breeze.

Kuehlungsborn is a charming Seebad (seaside resort) on Germany’s Baltic Coast. Dating back to the 1860s, Kuehlungsborn was one of the first seaside resorts established in Germany and is now Mecklenburg’s largest spa town. Enjoy the spa town’s relaxed atmosphere as you explore broad swimming beaches, 19th-century architecture and pretty forests.

Go for a wander around the town center and admire the traditional resort-style 19th-century architecture. Listen for the sound of the Bäderbahn Molli, an old-fashioned steam-operated railway that connects Kuehlungsborn’s attractions. Climb aboard and head for the Marina Kuehlungsborn. Here, you can check out the yachts in the moorings as you explore the timber boardwalk. You’ll find a strip of cafés, restaurants and shops facing the marina. This area is a perfect spot to meet friends for breakfast or lunch and enjoy views of the sunset over dinner.

Stroll down the Beach Promenade, which connects the Kuehlungsborn Harbor to Kuehlungsborn West and offers expansive views of the Baltic Sea. Find a spot to settle on the sandy Kuehlungsborn Beach and go for a swim in the clear waters. The Kuehlungsborn Pier is another beautiful viewpoint in the area. Nearby, you’ll find the Baltic Sea Watchtower (also known as the Baltic Border Tower), which dates back to Germany’s historic east/west division.

Kuehlungsborn has a collection of health and wellness clinics to help you relax and revitalize, but if you feel like getting your heart rate up, try the town’s range of outdoor activities. South of Kuehlungsborn, you can see views of the Kuehlung, a forested ridge after which the town is named. This densely wooded area of the Baltic Uplands was formed during the last ice age and can be explored via hiking trails. Rent a bike and cycle along the waterfront promenades, go windsurfing on the Salzhaff or make the short journey west to see the Bastorf Lighthouse.

Kuehlungsborn is located on Germany’s Baltic Sea coast in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It can be reached by train and bus and is easily accessible from Rostock and Bad Doberan. Enjoy a traditional seaside getaway in this area of stunning natural beauty.
