    The 6.8 km long circular route around the Bostalsee starts at the lake administration and the tourist information. From there, it goes past the Bosen beach and the footgolf course, past the largest beer garden in southwestern Germany and the indoor playground Bosiland towards Eckelhausen. At the exit of Bosen is the Bosener Mühle art center, which offers a variety of courses each year. From watercolor and oil painting, ceramics to writing seminars and stone sculpting. It continues to Gonnesweiler, where there is another beach that offers swimming as well as surfing. After crossing the dam, you encounter 2 sculptures that are part of the sculpture trail between St. Wendel and the Bostalsee. From here, it is only a few meters back to the starting point.
