The holiday resort of Kellenhusen is located directly on the Baltic Sea and is popular with travelers.
But the vacation here is obviously not cheap.
Kellenhusen - Family-friendly beaches, comparatively short journey and unique nature: Germany's coastal regions attract numerous holidaymakers every year.
It is not new that holidays on the German Baltic and North Seas are expensive.
But one offer seems to be particularly annoying for some people, so much so that it sparks a lively discussion on Facebook.
“Far too expensive” – holiday offers on the Baltic Sea are causing discussion
Three weeks of vacation in a holiday home in Kellenhusen (Schleswig-Holstein) should cost 3,500 euros.
In defense: The trip is in the middle of the high season in August 2024. However, the original vacationers cannot take the trip and therefore have to cancel it, according to a vacation group on Facebook.
They apparently don't have travel cancellation insurance, which is why the family is now looking for interested parties on the Internet.
But some people have little understanding for the seemingly expensive holiday offer.
“Far too expensive!” writes one user.
“3,500 tacks?
How big is the villa?
Staff is included, I assume?!” asks another.
The two-bedroom house is designed for four people.

“Everything is getting more expensive, but that’s a lot for mere mortals,” says another.
The North Sea vacation will also be more expensive in 2024.
Vacation on the Baltic Sea: Offer on Facebook sparks debate – “Normal price in the season”
A large part of the Facebook community, on the other hand, thinks the price is okay.
After all, it's three weeks - right in the middle of the holiday season.
“Normal price in the season,” explains one user.
“It's not 170 euros per day and that's in the high season, that's ok for a house,” comments another.

In any case, inflation does not stop at the Baltic Sea.
“You have to assume that we will never get back the prices we had before the pandemic,” says Matthias Firgo, tourism economist at the Munich University of Applied Sciences, to
MDR.
Nevertheless, the Baltic and North Seas continue to enjoy great popularity.
According to an analysis by the BAT Foundation for Future Issues, the majority of German citizens intended to spend their vacation in their own country in 2023.
It is therefore important to book early and save money.
