Lakes, fields and forests define Bösdorf, while hiking, cycling and activities on the water are also central to the area. There is also regional cuisine and a golf course. When planning your trip, it helps to decide what to focus on: circular routes and cycling trails are complemented by activities on Lake Großer Plöner See, while Gut Waldshagen offers a separate option for golf.

Hiking and Cycling in Bösdorf

Bösdorf has 21 signposted circular routes as well as a multi-day hiking trail. The cycling routes follow paths and village roads, passing through biotopes and by viewpoints and sights. This means there are different types of hiking tour to choose from, while the cycling routes take their own paths through the landscape. To plan your trip, you can first decide whether you want to focus on a hike or a cycling tour. The number and signposting of the circular routes may change, so check route information before setting out.

Lakes and Activities on the Water

There are tourist activities around Lake Dieksee and Lake Großer Plöner See. Options on Lake Großer Plöner See include sailing, rowing, paddling and fishing; there are also swimming areas. The choices therefore range from activities on the water to spending time at a swimming area. Which kind of lakeside visit you choose depends on whether you would rather sail, row, paddle, fish or visit a bathing spot. Access conditions and swimming and boating options may vary by season, so check the conditions before your visit.

One place to enjoy local cuisine is Fährhaus Niederkleveez. It serves regional dishes as well as homemade cakes and gateaux; there is also access to its own beach. Check restaurant opening and beach access before travelling. Excursions on the Five Lakes Boat are also offered in the surrounding area. You can therefore include a meal with homemade cake, time at the beach and a boat trip as different options in your plans.

Golf as Another Focus

Gut Waldshagen offers an 18-hole golf course with a driving range, putting greens and chipping greens. This is a clearly defined sporting option alongside hiking, cycling and water activities. If you would like to include golf in your trip, you can plan a visit to the course as a separate activity. Check the condition of the facilities and availability before your visit.
