Access
The Tonkuhle lake is located in the southwest of the city of Oldenburg. Some bus stops, such as "Friedhof Eversten" or "Bodenburgallee", are within walking distance of the lake. Parking is usually free on the side of Hundsmühler Straße. The best way to do the 1 km circular path around the lake is on foot, but it is also no problem with a stroller, wheelchair or similar. The only problem is that some of the paths can be a bit muddy.
