Geographically, Owschlag is located between the cities of Rendsburg and Eckernförde on the B202. The municipality is surrounded by forests, lakes and rivers, which makes it an ideal place for outdoor activities.

Most relevant to tourism are the numerous sights such as the historic moated castle Tannenberg or the church Sankt Martinus with its impressive tower. The Museum Kunstwerk Carlshütte is also worth a visit - here you can marvel at contemporary works of art.

Cultural highlights are also plentiful: The annual Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival attracts thousands of visitors every year, and the open-air cinema on Eckernförde beach is also not to be missed.

If you are looking for culinary delights, you will find them in the many restaurants and cafés - the local specialities such as Labskaus or Matjesfilet are particularly recommended. For all gourmets, a detour to the weekly market on Rendsburg's market square is also worthwhile.

The best seasons for outdoor activities are spring and summer - then, for example, you can go on bicycle tours through the idyllic landscapes or relax on the Baltic Sea beach. In autumn and winter, on the other hand, a hike through the colourful forests or a visit to the thermal spa in Eckernförde is a good idea.

Whether it's sunny or rainy - Owschlag has something to offer for everyone. If the weather is bad, we recommend a visit to the indoor playground "Kinderland" or the Rendsburg cinema centre.

Where is the nicest? That's hard to say, because every place has its own charm. But anyone who enjoys the view of the picturesque Owschlager Land from the Schlossberg will certainly be thrilled.

Overall, Owschlag is definitely worth a trip and with this travel guide you have all the important information for a successful stay!

    Sehr abwechslungsreiche Strecke. Knicks, kleine Waldwege, breite Sandwege u.s.w. Kaffee am Reiterhof und Kiosk am Fußballgolf

    Schöne Runde auf überwiegend ruhigen Wegen, teilweise in Nähe einer Bundesstraße. Die nördliche Schleife führt auf einem breiten sandigen Abschnitt des Ochsenwegs nach Norden, und dann über teils schmale Waldwege zurück nach Süden. Die östliche Schleife verläuft zunächst auf einer schwach befahrenen Strasse und führt dann um eine sehr schöne Binnendünen-Heidelandschaft herum. Wer nicht 14km gehen will kann sollte die östliche Schleife wandern, diese ist landschaftlich die interessantere. Der eingezeichnete Rastplatz bei km 5 liegt am Ochsenweg in der Nähe eines Landwirtschaftbetrieb. Während meiner Rast lief dort leider ununterbrochen ein Traktor im Stand. Ein weiterer Rastplatz mit schöner Aussicht auf die Heidelandschaft liegt bei km 6,8. Dieser Rastplatz ist nicht eingezeichnet. Die Wege waren teilweise etwas sandig aber gut zu begehen. Leider waren viele Abschnitte, insbesondere die schmalen Pfade immer wieder mit Pferdemist verschmutzt. Am Rastplatz lag ein Haufen Pferdemist direkt neben dem Tisch.
