Bosau combines swimming at the Großer Plöner See with a variety of activities on land. There is also a 1.5-kilometre circular route on the Warder Peninsula near Bosau, with a choice of hiking, cycling and Nordic walking on scenic routes. This lets you focus your stay on the beach, physical activity or observing nature.

Beach on the Großer Plöner See

The 150-metre-long sandy beach on the Großer Plöner See offers shallow water, a shaded shoreline, a large sunbathing lawn, a children's playground and a beach volleyball court. This means there are several options in the same stretch of beach: you can spend time by the water, use the sunbathing lawn or enjoy the play and exercise facilities. Facilities and water conditions may vary seasonally. If the beach is important to your stay, check the current conditions before visiting.

Trails and boat trips

In Bosau, scenic routes for hiking, cycling and Nordic walking offer options for activities on land. These activities provide different ways to explore the area, with no specific route length or duration stated. A boat trip around the Großer Plöner See can be combined with excursions on land. If you would like to plan both, check the timetable: boat trips may be seasonal and operate according to a schedule.

Circular trail on the Warder Peninsula

The small Warder Peninsula near Bosau can be explored along a 1.5-kilometre circular trail. The attractions and activities mentioned there include a nature trail, birdwatching, a Kneipp station, viewpoints and a bathing area. Observing nature offers a different focus from the Kneipp station or spending time at the bathing area; these different options come together along the same route. Local facilities may be maintained seasonally. Check their condition before visiting.
