Bosen at Lake Bostalsee – Water, Trails and Culture

Bosen combines experiences on the water with culture and a variety of opportunities for active days away. At Lake Bostalsee, you can swim, rent boats or explore the lake on a paved circular trail. The Bosener Mühle also serves as an art centre with exhibitions, events and workshops. When choosing your holiday apartment in Bosen, you can therefore consider whether the focus of your trip should be more on water, exercise, culture or a combination of these interests.

Water Experiences and Activities in Bosen

At Bosen lido, water buoys divide the section of the lake into non-swimmer and swimmer areas. This makes safe swimming possible even while sailing and surfing activities are taking place. For trips with children, the playgrounds available there offer another way to stay occupied. Volleyball courts round off the facilities for anyone who enjoys combining a stay by the lake with shared physical activity.

Above the lido in Bosen, there is also the 18-hole footgolf course at Lake Bostalsee. It offers views of Lake Bostalsee and provides a distinctive attraction between the lido and the water-based activities. Anyone who would like to get to know the lake from the water can find a boat rental facility on the Bosen side of the lake offering pedal boats, electric boats and rowing boats. This allows you to include peaceful boat trips and more active days in your personal travel plans without having to structure every day in the same way.

Getting Around Lake Bostalsee

The circular lake trail goes around Lake Bostalsee for seven paved kilometres. The firm surface and clearly stated length help with planning your day: You can set aside the route as a stand-alone circuit or consider it another focal point alongside time at the lido. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Bosen can take their preferred daily rhythm into account when choosing a location and decide whether water-based experiences, a circuit around the lake or cultural visits should shape their holiday.

Art and Regional Culture at the Bosener Mühle

The Bosener Mühle art centre at Lake Bostalsee hosts exhibitions, cultural events and workshops throughout the year. Ceramics is a particular focus of the art courses; equipped studios are available for participants. A current exhibition at the Bosener Mühle can be visited during the café’s opening hours. This gives the venue a specific cultural point of interest even for a day of the holiday when water sports are not the main focus.

The history of the building goes back further: The art centre was originally a grain mill. In 1972, the district acquired the former grain mill and converted it into the Bosener Mühle art centre. The local dialect is also part of the history of the building. The first local-dialect symposium took place at the Bosener Mühle in 1993; the 29th local-dialect symposium was held there from 26 to 29 September 2024. These historical and cultural connections make the mill a distinctive part of planning a trip to Bosen.

The Right Base for Planning Your Trip
