The area is known for its picturesque landscape, which can be explored particularly well on hikes or bike tours. Especially recommended are the routes along the Schlei, where you can enjoy magnificent views of the water.

Osterby also has a lot to offer culturally: Historic churches such as the St. Marien Church from the 12th century or the Ludwigsburg Manor House with its impressive architecture invite you to discover them. A special insight into the history of the region can be gained at the Osterby local history museum, where numerous exhibits from past times are presented.

Those who like to try culinary delicacies will not be disappointed here either: the regional cuisine is characterised by fresh vegetables and fruit as well as freshly caught fish from the surrounding waters. In cosy inns and restaurants, you can enjoy traditional dishes such as labskaus or kale with pinkel.

For outdoor activities, the summer is particularly suitable - then bathing spots on the beach of Missunde or bicycle tours through flowering fields around Osterby are enticing. Water sports enthusiasts also get their money's worth: whether sailing, canoeing or stand-up paddling, the Schlei offers numerous opportunities for water sports enthusiasts.

And what to do when it rains? There's a solution for that too in Osterby: the Rendsburg adventure pool with its various pools and saunas provides relaxation on rainy days.

All in all, Osterby is definitely worth a visit - whether you're interested in nature, culture or culinary delights. This Travel Guide has shown you that the charming destination in the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde has a lot to offer. Where is it most beautiful? You decide for yourself!

    Abwechselungsreiche Landschaft, hauptsächlich befestigte, wenig Schotterwege. Besonders mit der GPX Datei leicht zu finden. Gelungene Route

    Wir haben die Wanderung am 12.07.2020 von Kochendorf aus gemacht. Zu beachten wäre, dass die Wanderweg-Beschilderung innerhalb des Ortes Osterby ein wenig irreführend ist; dies hat uns einen nicht geplanten Umweg in Richtung Hummelfeld beschert. Die Steingräber habe ich allerdings nicht entdecken können. Die Wanderroute lässt sich auch als PDF herunterladen unter https://www.naturpark-huettenerberge.de/der-naturpark/wander-radrouten/
