Kuhlungsborn Travel Guide
A detailed destination guide for your next Germany vacation
Kühlungsborn Overview
Kühlungsborn is Seebad (seaside resort) town in the district of Bad Doberan (Bad Doberan vacation rentals | Bad Doberan travel guide), in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is situated on the Baltic Sea coast, 11 km northwest of Bad Doberan, and 25 km northwest of Rostock (Rostock vacation rentals | Rostock travel guide). The town has a long beach, many hotels, a long promenade and a marina. It is the largest seaside spa town in Mecklenburg.
Kühlungsborn is a unique mixture of past and present. Old, dilapidated hotels stand next to recent renovations. The charm of this turn of the (last) century tourist spot, however, remains. Whilst a popular mode of transport in the area is the bicycle, it is actually quite difficult to ride in a straight line here as what is available, visually, is very distracting. If the weather is (reasonably) kind, nothing can beat hiring one of the traditional Strandkorb on the beach.

Doberan Cathedral
[ source: Wikipedia ]
The Doberaner Münster, dedicated in 1368, is one of the most impressive examples of North German brick architecture. It was originally the first abbey in Mecklenburg, founded in 1171, and was also used as the burial site for the regional rulers. Of special importance are architecture and furnishings in the Minster. The interior was mostly spared the turmoils and ravages of war. No other Cistercian abbey in Europe can lay claim to such a large amount of original interior still intact. Among the treasures are the main altar which is the oldest wing-altar in art history, the monumental cross altar and the sculpted tomb of Danish Queen Margarete Sambiria.
