There are several ways to shape a stay in Bosen on Lake Bostalsee: swimming and water sports, a walk or ride around the lake, football golf, or culture at the Bosener Mühle. If you are looking for a hotel in Bosen, you can first consider whether activities on the water, outdoor pursuits or cultural events should define your stay. This makes it easier to plan your travel dates and daily schedule around your preferred focus.

Swimming and water sports in Bosen

At the Bosen beach bath, buoys mark the areas for non-swimmers and swimmers. This makes safe swimming possible even while sailing and surfing are taking place. Operating details vary by season, so if swimming is important to your stay, check the information for your travel dates. Playgrounds and volleyball courts round out the facilities at the beach bath. Depending on your interests, you can choose between swimming, playing and volleyball, and enjoy your time by the shore in different ways.

Lakeside trail, boat rental and football golf

The lakeside trail goes around Lake Bostalsee for seven paved kilometres. Its length and surface make it a well-defined option for a bike ride. On the Bosener See side, the boat rental offers pedal boats, electric boats and rowing boats. Opening hours may vary by season; check them if you are planning a boat trip. Football golf at Lake Bostalsee has an 18-hole course just above the beach bath in Bosen, with views of the lake. The trail, boats and football golf offer different ways to spend your time: a bike ride, time on the water or a game with a lake view.

Culture at the Bosener Mühle

The Bosener Mühle art centre stands at the northern harbour of Lake Bostalsee and was originally a grain mill. In 1972, the district acquired the former mill and converted it into an art centre. Today, the centre hosts exhibitions, cultural events and workshops throughout the year. The art courses focus particularly on ceramics, and participants have access to fully equipped studios. The current exhibition is open during the café’s opening hours. Check the times before your visit, as the arrangements for exhibitions and the café may change.

The history of the dialect symposia adds a historical perspective to the cultural programme: the first symposium took place at the Bosener Mühle in 1993; the 29th was held there from 26 to 29 September 2024. These two dates offer a glimpse into the development of this cultural series without suggesting a future event date.

Match your travel dates to your interests

When choosing your travel dates, it is worth bearing in mind the difference between the cultural programme offered throughout the year and the seasonal operating details at the beach bath and boat rental. If swimming or a boat trip is important to you, plan around the relevant seasonal information. If you are visiting the exhibition, the café’s opening hours apply.
