Beautiful view of the large Plön Lake

One of the many great places to enjoy the view of the large Plöner Lake

Beach between the Princes' Island in the Great Plön Lake with a sandy beach and DLRG. At the end of the idyllic Princes' Island is the natural beach with a view of the sunset included. As a destination for a day trip or a rest stop, you should not miss the approximately 100 m wide, gently sloping sandy beach. The bathing area can only be reached on foot, by bike or by excursion boat. The bathing area is guarded by the DLRG and has a kiosk, toilet, shower, playground and in summer also a volleyball net. Parking spaces are located on the Ascheberger Chaussee (approx. 2 km to the bathing area).

Bathing area on the Great Plön Lake with a sandy beach, playground and lawn. The long sandy beach is the ideal bathing area for families. Lawns, benches, hammocks, slides, mini golf and a small playground invite you to linger. The entrance is gently sloping and has a non-swimmers' limit. There are shady areas and a jetty into the water, as well as changing facilities and toilets.

A short walk across the lawn leads directly to the water, where the adventure begins. A free car park awaits visitors near the site, while a campsite in the area invites you to linger. For those looking for activities on land, a beach volleyball court and a playground offer plenty of opportunity for fun and exercise. The best time to visit? Summer, when the sun turns the lake into a glittering sea and the days are long and warm. But the Bosau lido also has its own charm in spring and autumn. The Bosau lido and its canoeing site are an insider tip for anyone looking for something real and untouched. A place that invites you to dream and where the magic of nature can be felt.

The Bosau lido is hidden between rolling hills and lush greenery, an idyllic gem on the banks of the majestic Plön Lake in Schleswig-Holstein. Here, where the water gently laps against the shore, lies the canoe launch site, a gateway to unforgettable adventures on the sparkling lake. The canoe launch site is more than just a starting point for water sports enthusiasts. It is a place where the heart of nature beats and everyday life fades into the background.

Around 1570, Duke Johann of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg had Lake Plön dammed. This changed the landscape: Bosau became a peninsula. In 1881/82, the water level was lowered again. As a result, part of the former Slavic settlement area reappeared.[7] In 1939, the Hellmuth Walter KG company from Kiel acquired land on Lake Plön and set up its factory test site in Stadtbek. Torpedoes and the slotted tube sling were tested here. The latter was a chemical steam sling that was used until the end of the war. The Fi 103 flying bomb, later called Vergeltungswaffe 1 or V1, was hurled into the air by the Walter slotted tube sling (catapult) using a steam piston at a speed of 350 km/h. The piston was released and the Fi 103 continued to fly with its own pulse drive. Buildings of the test site, built on piles in the lake, were blown up by the Allies after the war.
