Kiellinie Promenade

Here the bear growls. Clink pots, eat ice cream, swim, enjoy an aperitif. Great.

The Kiel line begins at the Seeburg (Kiel) behind the Ostseekai (formerly: Oslo-Kai). Until 2014, it ended at the Blücherbrücke, where the Gorch Fock used to be. The Kiel line has ended in the Kiel-Wik district since 2014. It is lined on the land side by a row of boathouses from rowing clubs, canoeists and sailors, the Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research and the Institute for the World Economy.

The promenade is particularly popular with locals and guests because of the hustle and bustle, especially during Kiel Week, the unobstructed view of incoming cruise ships and the very good view of the east bank with the shipyards of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), the former Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW ), and their large gantry cranes, which are considered Kiel's landmarks.

Tip: In the south, enter the Kiellinie via the curved combined biker footbridge and enjoy ships and stalls on the colorful shore.
