Kiel–Lübeck Railway
The Kiel–Lübeck railway is a non-electrified, mostly single-track railway line in eastern Schleswig-Holstein in north Germany. It links Kiel and Lübeck, the only two large cities (with more than 100,000 inhabitants) in the state. Passenger services on the 81-kilometre route are currently (2010) operated by DB Regio. Geography The route runs from Kiel via the towns of Preetz, Plön and Eutin to Lübeck through the Schleswig-Holstein Uplands and, on the Ascheberg–Eutin section, through Holstein Switzerland. This region is characterized by lakes, forests and terminal moraines and is thus an important recreational area. History The Kiel–Ascheberg section was opened on 31 May 1866 together with the Neumünster–Neustadt in Holstein line (see Neumünster–Ascheberg and Eutin–Neustadt railways). The operator of both routes was the Altona-Kiel Railway Company (LFS). Thus Kiel and Neumünster were connected by rail with the Baltic port of Neustadt, but not yet with ...

Kleinbahn
The term ''Kleinbahn'' (literally 'small railway', plural: ''Kleinbahnen'') was a light railway concept used especially in Prussia for a railway line that "on account of its low importance for general railway transport" had less strict requirements placed on its construction and operation that main lines (''Hauptbahnen, Vollbahnen'') or secondary lines ('' Nebenbahnen'' i.e. normal branch lines). Even public railway lines built for constructional or industrial purposes were counted as ''Kleinbahnen''. Origin and use The concept was defined in the Prussian ''Kleinbahn'' law of 28 July 1892, that was designed to encourage the construction of local railway lines by private companies. The word ''Kleinbahn'' was chosen by a majority of MPs in the Prussian parliament instead of a range of other options - ''Lokalbahn'' (local line), ''Bahn unterster Ordnung'' (line of the lowest order) or ''Bahn untergeordneter Bedeutung'' (line of secondary importance) - because it was neither a forei ...

Kellersee
The Kellersee () is a lake in the Holstein Switzerland region of North Germany. It lies east of the village of Malente on the River Schwentine, has an area of , is up to 27 metres deep and lies at a height of . Southeast of the lake is the village of Fissau in the borough of Eutin. Management The Kellersee is managed by the Schwarten Fishery (''Fischerei Schwarten'') who also run a small pub right by the lakeshore. Water sports and ice skating At some points on the lake there are dangerous katabatic winds (''Fallwinde'') that are often underestimated and may lead to serious problems. This occurs mainly in the Fissau Bay. At this point, the lake lies between two steep hills, due to its glacial history. In addition, the lake is particularly deep, because the Schwentine enters it here. The adjacent Mondschein or Stille Bay freezes later than the lake, as does the area around the mouth of the Schwentine. The thin sheet of ice in these areas can be dangerous. Fishing The S ...
