There is a beautiful, idyllic bathing area at Lake Owschlag, southeast of Owschlag. A meadow with a playground, a permanent fireplace and a brick barbecue. A mobile DIXI toilet with a water tank for washing hands is also available. There is a shelter a little further up. The grate for the brick barbecue can be rented out free of charge for a deposit. Please contact the building yard on 04336-999036 or by email bauhof(at)owschlag.de. The bathing area at Lake Owschlag is an idyllic place to sunbathe, swim and relax in the summer months. The bathing water quality is regularly checked by the health department of the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district during the season. https://www.owschlag.de/tourismus-freizeit/badestelle/

The Ochsenweg varies from a solid dirt road with various ruts to a sandy, challenging surface. I recommend a bike with tires that are at least 50 mm wide and low air pressure of up to three bar. Then you can easily pull yourself through the sandy sections and comfortably over the solid, rutted sections. The Ochsenweg is mostly unspectacular today. You ride it as a reminder of the historical times.

Interesting river crossing: meandering river to the south, with a rustic pasture in decay on the bank to the north.

The hairstyles of this small, good-natured breed of cattle are incredible.
