    The view of the small island of Olsburg, an archaeological monument in Lake Plön, is particularly enchanting. It is uninhabited and was settled by the Slavs, who built a village in the 11th century to catch fish and go hunting. Originally, the island was connected to the mainland by a wooden bridge and served as a protection. Later it became too narrow and a castle was built on the site of the current Plön Castle.

      During the Slavic era, the island of Olsburg was significantly larger than it is today.
      The assumption that the first Plön castle was on the island of Olsborg was confirmed by excavations in 1950. The bridge that led approximately from this point to the island was also identified through diving investigations.
