Halensee

Halensee
Halensee is a small lake located in the western part of Berlin in an area called Wilmersdorf. It is southwest of the Tiergarten but east of the northern part of Forst Grunewald. Most of Halensee is surrounded by residences, but there is a large, grassy lawn on the northeast side of the lake that is an FKK zone. A line of trees is a privacy screen from the adjacent busy street (Halenseestrasse), which straddles an autobahn that is partially tunneled under Halenseestrasse.
Despite the traffic noise, the Halensee meadow is quite popular, drawing a few hundred visitors on warm weekends. About half the visitors here sunbathe in the nude. People sometimes play games like volleyball on parts of the meadow, and there is a roving food and beverage vendor. Swimming is possible, but sometimes entering the water is prohibited (namely when runoff from heavy rains diminishes the water quality).
At about 8 kilometers southwest of the city center, Halensee is among the more centrally located FKK areas of Berlin. It is located just west of Rathenauplatz, a prominent intersection at the end of Kurfürstendamm. Kurfürstendamm, often shorted to Ku'damm, is a broad avenue that runs from Europa-Center (by the Berlin Zoo) to Rathenauplatz, a distance of 3.6 kilometers, and is known for its upscale shopping. Kurfürstendamm is often called the Champs-Élysées of Berlin as well as Berlin's Shopping Mile (although technically it's a little over 2 miles long).

From the Halensee S-bahn station, cross over the rail lines. You'll be walking along a multi-lane street called Kurfürstendamm, going southwest. After about 350 meters, you'll reach a prominent interchange called Rathenauplatz (pinpointed), which you'll recognize by the art installation in the middle: it involves a large Cadillac partially covered in concrete. (The A100 autobahn in tunneled under Rathenauplatz.)
At Rathenauplatz, turn right onto Halenseestrasse and cross over to the opposite (i.e., west/south) side of this street. Follow Halenseestrasse just over 100 meters and you'll reach the entry to the lake on your left.
This placemark pertains to Halensee.

Rathenauplatz
This interchange is a stop along many bus lines: 104, 110, 119, 129, or 219. The centerpiece is a rather unusual installation by artist Wolf Vostell called "Beton Cadillacs" that involves a large Cadillac partially covered in concrete. You'll know it when you see it.

This strandbad (bathing beach) that includes a floating sunbathing dock is around the corner from the FKK meadow. This area is textile only, and there is an admission fee.

Teufelsee & Bullenwinkel, Grunewaldsee

Teufelsee
Teufelsee is a small lake—about 250 meters across from one extreme to the other—in the northern part of Forst Grunewald. It lies a few kilometers east of Wannsee, the lake that borders the west side of the huge forest park. While most of Teufelsee has dense vegetation at the waterline, there is a meadow on the southeast side where sunbathers gather.
Although Teufelsee is not signed as an FKK area, nudists and textiles mix quite freely. Nudity is tolerated to the degree that it is not unusual to see naked people patronizing the roving food and beverage vendor. (There is also a café next to the pinpointed brick smokestack, which is prominently visible from the lake, but you'll need to be clothed to go there.) Some visitors swim in the lake, which has a small wooden platform in the middle for sunning.
Interesting trivia: Teufelsberg, which means "Devil's Mountain," is an artificial hill just north of Teufelsee built atop World War II rubble. The white-domed towers at the top are part of a defunct intelligence gathering station that is now a relic of the Cold War.

Bullenwinkel, Grunewaldsee
Grunewaldsee is a linear "finger" lake located near the eastern edge of Forst Grunewald, near the neighborhoods Grunewald and Schmargendorf. Near the middle of the lake's western shore, there is a narrow band of sandy shoreline known as "Bullenwinkel." This beach is signed as a nacktbadestelle—"naked bathing place." This small nude beach is the only beach on the western shore of the lake. There is a textile beach on the opposite shore.
Bullenwinkel tends to draw smaller crowds compared to Berlin's other FKK area. Be advised that the western side of the lake is very popular with dog walkers.

From Grunewald S-bahn station, exit on the west side of the station. If you see the elevated lanes of the autobahn in front of you when you exit, you are going the right direction. Cross under the autobahn. Once you are other side, you should be at the intersections of Eichkampstrasse and Dauerwaldweg. Standing with your back to the autobahn, look to your left and you'll see a parking area at the intersection. It is not a formal lot but a more informal area shaded by tall trees.
Two walking paths leave from the parking area. One of the routes, Schildhornweg, is drawn in green. The other route, Neuer Schildhornweg, is drawn in orange.
The green route is 1.7 kilometers long, and the orange route is just very slightly longer. It does note matter which one you take since they follow a similar arc. When you reach the point where Schildhornweg and Neuer Schildhornweg insect, you'll be at the meadow on the south side of Teufelsee. The brick smokestack (part of an old waterworks) at one end of the lake is a prominent landmark.
The total walk from the S-bahn station takes 20-30 minutes.

These structures are part of a now defunct intelligence gathering station on Teufelsberg, an artificial hill built atop World War II rubble. At 115 meters high, this is the highest point in Berlin.
Several large white golf-ball-like domes make this an easily identifiable landmark. Viewed from Teufesee, the domes are clustered in a way that makes them somewhat reminiscent of a Russian Orthodox church.
This placemark pertains to Teufelsee.

From Grunewald S-bahn station, exit on the east side of the station. (If you see the elevated lanes of the autobahn in front of you when you exit, you are going the wrong way. Go to the other side.)
Just 50 meters or so after you exit the building, bear right onto Fontanestrasse. You'll be walking southeast. Continue 500 meters to a prominent four-way intersection with Koenigsallee.
[Note: You can take a bus, number 183, from the S-bahn station to the intersection of Fontanestrasse and Koenigsallee, getting off at the first stop. This will save about 5-10 minutes of walking time.]
Turn right at Koenigsallee and begin following this street southwest. At first you'll be walking among houses and other buildings. After 700 meters, you'll pass the last of a group of buildings that are on your right and enter the forest.
Continue along Koenigsallee about 220 meters farther and you'll reach an intersection with a broad pedestrian path. (If you see a small building just up ahead on the right side of Koenigsallee, very close to the road, you're in the correct location.)
Turn left onto the pedestrian path. Follow this trail straight ahead (you'll be going southeast) about 500 meters and you will reach the lakeshore at the far northern end of Grunewaldsee.
Turn right and follow the lakeshore trail south. After about 350 meters, you'll reach Bullenwinkel.
The total walk takes about half an hour.

Volkspark Friedrichshain

Volkspark Friedrichshain
Volkspark Friedrichshain is a large public park in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district of Berlin, about 4 kilometers east of the Bradenburg Gate. Not as well-known as the Tiergarten, the Volkspark lies within the former East Berlin. During summer, sunbathers flock to the multiple tree-enclosed meadows of the park. Nude sunning is common toward the western side of the park near Friedenstrasse, especially in the meadow that is on the north side of the Spanish Civil War Memorial (Spanienkämpfer-Denkmal). This meadow is about one kilometer north of Strausberger Platz. From Strausberger Platz U-bahn station, you can connect to a bus that takes you within steps of the meadow.

Habermannsee

Habermannsee
Not nearly as well known as many of Berlin's other FKK locales, Habermannsee is a small lake in the far east of Berlin, about 16 kilometers east-southeast of the city center. The lake is distinctive for the island in the middle that essentially divides the lake into two halves. The main gathering places are the sandy areas of the north shore and the south shore. The east and west shores have less room for sunbathers. By custom, the north shore is FKK while the south shore is textile.
The lake is well attended, but there are no amenities. Furthermore, since the lake is city water supply, swimming is technically forbidden, but this prohibition is routinely ignored. It is possible to wade to the island and a few visitors do, but most stick to the mainland. The grassy meadow at the far north end of the lake is popular with gay men.
Habermannsee is often also called Kauldorfer See after the neighborhood of Kauldorf, which is to the west.

This pinpointed location, at coordinates 52.4912, 13.6078 (Map It), is stop Eichenhofweg of tram (Strassenbahn) line 62. This stop is at the intersection of Hultschiner Damm and Eichenhofweg.
Tram line 62 is a north-to-south line in the far eastern part of Berlin. The most straightforward way to get here from the city center is by taking S-bahn line S5 to station Mahlsdorf, which is located at coordinates 52.5120, 13.6102 (Map It). On the south side of the S-bahn station, you can board Tram 62, going toward Wendenschloss, which is your only option since Mahlsdorf is the northern terminus of the tram line.

Mitte

Plötzensee

Strandbad Plötzensee
Plötzensee is a small glacial lake in the Wedding neighborhood of Mitte, which is Berlin's central district. The lake has been developed into a beach park with full amenities such as showers and food concessions, along with a 250-meter-long man-made, sandy beach. While most of the beach is textile, a section at the northwest end is set aside for nude use. The FKK zone of the sandy beach is separated from the rest of the beach by a fence and comprises a bit less than 20% of the total beach area. Visitors can also sunbathe nude in the grassy lawn beyond the beach. A snack stand in the FKK area is open on peak days.
Strandbad Plötzensee is one of three developed, sandy beach parks within Berlin that have FKK zones. (The other two are Strandbad Wannsee and Strandbad Müggelsee.) Strandbad Plötzensee is by far the closest of the three to the city center, but is also has a much smaller FKK zone and thus much smaller crowds of nudists.
Totally disgusting bit of trivia: Plötzensee literally means "Roach Lake," so named for the throngs of German cockroaches once found here. (Don't worry; the area is no longer teeming with them.)

Tuntenwiese, Tiergarten

Tuntenwiese, Tiergarten
The Tiergarten, Berlin's best-known park, is a huge green space in the middle of the city that stretches over 2.5 kilometers from east to west. The centerpiece of Tiergarten is Siegessäule (pinpointed), better know to English speakers as the Victory Column. It is a famous monument topped with a gilded, winged statue that is one of the symbols of Berlin. Just 100 or so meters southwest of this monument is a meadow that locals have informally dubbed "Tuntenwiese," which means "Queen's Meadow." On hot days, and particularly on weekends, this is a hugely popular place for men to sunbathe, and many sunbathers here are nude. It is more or less an all-gay venue.
Although Tuntenwiese is not an official FKK zone, that is no problem in Berlin. This is a very centrally located place to get naked, but it does not abut a body of water.
Note: The Branderburg Gate and the Reichstag (parliament building) are located at the eastern end of the Tiergarten, about 2 kilometers east of the Victory Column.

Reinickendorf

Lübars

Strandbad Lübars
Ziegeleisee is a small recreation lake in the Lübars area of the Reinickendorf borough of Berlin. The lake is about 15 kilometers north-northwest of the city center in the far north of Berlin, just 600 meters (as the crow flies) from the border with Brandenburg. The main feature of the lake is a sandy textile beach on the northeast side of the lake called Strandbad Lübars. There is a restaurant, a pier with a diving platform and other amenities. Facing the water at the textile beach, go to the right less than 200 meters and you'll reach the designated FKK area beyond a privacy fence. The FKK area is a grassy meadow, and reeds at the waterline help obscure it from the nearby textile beach. There is a tiny island just offshore from the FKK area that is thick with vegetation, and the island also serves as a privacy barrier. There is a roped-off swimming area that extends across much of the north side of the lake, and the tiny island is within the swimming area. Nude swimming is possible in the small part of roped-off area that is behind the island, out of view of the textile area.
The FKK area at Strandbad Lübars is among the smaller and more minor of Berlin's many FKK areas.

Grünau

Strandbad Grünau
Strandbad Grünau is a recreation beach in the far southeast of Berlin, about 21 kilometers southeast of the city center and about 2 kilometers (as the crow flies) from the border with Brandenburg. The beach is situated along the southern and eastern shoreline of a long lake called Langer See, which is part of the river Dahme.
The main part of Strandbad Grünau is a sandy textile beach with a café and other beach amenities. It is served by a direct stop along tram line 68. The designated FKK area associated with Strandbad Grünau is completely disconnected from the main beach.
A paved road called Sportpromenade runs in front of the entry pavilion to Strandbad Grünau, parallel to the tram tracks. Follow this road to the east (to the right when facing the lake). A few hundred meters beyond the entry pavilion, the road becomes off limits to motorized vehicles. Continue about 400-500 meters farther and you'll reach the FKK area, which is secluded from the tram tracks and the road by a band of trees. The FKK area is a grassy lawn with a small, roped-off swimming area, and there are signs announcing "FKK Bereich."
If you keep walking east and south, there are two other tiny beach areas known as "Bammelecke" that you can reach by walking through the trees. Both are pinpointed. The beach that houses the rescue center tends to be textile only. The other one draws nude bathers even though it is not part of a designated FKK area. About 400-500 meters farther along, there is another tram stop at an area called Richtershorn, where there is a restaurant.

Müggelsee

Strandbad Müggelsee
Müggelsee is a large lake in the far southeast of Berlin, entirely within what was East Berlin before reunification. On the northeastern shore of the lake, Strandbad Müggelsee is a popular recreation area that includes textile and FKK zones. Backed by a forest that separates the neighborhoods of Friedrichshagen and Rahnsdorf, the beach is about 23 kilometers southeast of the city center.
If you enter the complex at the prominently signed pavilion, you'll be on the broad, sandy textile beach. Facing the lake, turn to your right and follow the walkway west about 300 meters and you'll arrive at the main FKK area, which is a broad, sandy beach that extends about 150 meters (where this placemark is pinpointed). Beyond the main FKK beach, a walkway continues west, leading to several narrower beach areas spread out over the next 800 meters. These areas are also FKK.
Strandbad Müggelsee has food concessions, restrooms and showers, and in 2006 the admission fee was dropped, so entry is free.
Strandbad Müggelsee can be reached from the city center by taking the S-bahn to Friedrichshagen then connecting to a tram (streetcar) that stops at the beach.
Treptow-Köpenick, Berlin, Germany

Going west from the main sandy FKK beach, there is a span of about 800 meters that includes several small, narrow beach areas where nude sunbathers gather. Several sets of steps lead down to these beaches from the lakeshore walkway.

Friedrichshagen station is about 3.5 kilometers away from Strandbad Müggelsee, but you can board a tram that takes you the rest of the way. A tram is also known as a Strassenbahn (streetcar).
Tram 61 (S Adlershof↔Rahnsdorf/Waldschänke) stops at Friedrichshagen station. Be sure you are heading in the direction of Rahnsdorf/Waldschänke. The aqua line draws the segment of the tram line between Friedrichshagen station and Strandbad Müggelsee. The tram runs along the street Fürstenwalder Damm.
Once you board Tram 61, the next four stops are: (1) Hartlebenstrasse, (2) Wasserwerk Friedrichshagen, (3) Fürstenwalder Damm and (4) Fürstenwalder Damm/Müggelseedamm.
The fifth stop is Licht- und Luftbad Müggelsee. This stop provides direct access to the FKK beach.
The sixth stop is Strandbad Müggelsee. This stop is at the main entry pavilion, which is prominently signed. You may wish to get off here to get a scope of the whole area. If you enter the beach at the pavilion, the signed FKK zone will be to your right as you face the lake.
The seventh and final stop of the tram is Rahnsdorf/Waldschänke, which is the end stop. If you end up here, you need to board the tram again going the other direction.

Rahnsdorf station, S-bahn line S3
This is the closest S-bahn station to Strandbad Müggelsee, but it involves a long walk through the forest. Remember that another option is going to Friedrichshagen station, which is the next stop of line S3 to the west. At Friedrichshagen station, you can board a tram that goes directly to the beach (see the aqua line), whereas you'll have to walk all the way from Rahnsdorf station (see the green line).

[These directions apply only if you are coming from Rahnsdorf S-bahn station. If you go to Friedrichshagen S-bahn station instead, you can connect to a tram that goes all the way to the beach and avoid the walk.]
From the S-bahn station, follow Strasse nach Fichtenau from the south side of the railway. The street angles to the southwest through the forest.
After 500-600 meters, the street will curve sharply to the left. At that point, keep straight ahead onto a broad bicycle path. You will still be angling southwest. About 600 meters farther, the path will merge toward the tram line and the parallel street Fürstenwalder Damm. At that point, you'll see the prominently signed beach entry pavilion across the street.

Bernsteinsee

Bernsteinsee
Bernsteinsee is a small lake on the south side of the A10 autobahn. It lies in the middle of a cluster of five towns: Hohen Neuendorf, Birkenwerder, Oranienburg, Leegebruch and Velten. Bernsteinsee is about 30 kilometers north-northwest of the city center of Berlin.
The large parking lot is at the northwest corner of the lake. Straight ahead from the parking lot, you'll be on a sandy beach on the west side of the lake. Round the corner of the lake and you'll be on the lawn of the south shore. Both the west and south shores are textile, as indicated by the thick green line. Keep walking across the south shore. Beyond the south lawn, you'll pass through an area where there are trees along both sides of the path. When you emerge from the trees, you'll be in the designated FKK area, which is a large lawn on the eastern shore of the lake. The walk from the parking lot to the FKK area is about one kilometer. There is a restaurant and other amenities in the textile area.
Bernsteinsee lies just east of the interchange of two autobahns: the A10 and the A111. However, there is no direct access from this major interchange.

Godnasee is a small lake hidden in the forest at the far northern end of the Spreewald, which is a biosphere reserve in southeastern Brandenburg that covers nearly 500 square kilometers. The lake is located is a sparsely populated area, but it is less than 2 kilometers away from the closest village (Alt Schadow), and it is about 80 kilometers southeast of Berlin.
Access is from a parking lot at the south end of the lake. Textiles gather in the immediate vicinity of the parking lot, but otherwise the entire lake is considered the domain of nudists. The main gathering place for nude sunbathers is a meadow on the southwestern side of the lake. Facing the lake near the parking area, go to your left and you'll reach the meadow within a few minutes. The lake is completely undeveloped, with no toilets or food concessions.
GETTING THERE / PARKING:
Go to Google Maps, click Get Directions, choose your departure and make your destination:
Alt Schadow, Märkische Heide, Germany
Alt Schadow is a village with the municipality of Märkische Heide. Note that Google Maps will not accurately map Alt Schadow unless it is qualified with the name Märkische Heide, but Alt Schadow is 15 kilometers away from the Märkische Heide town center. Alt Schadow is located along route L42, and it is about 25 kilometers north of Lübben, usually written as "Lübben (Spreewald)," which is the closest major town.
From the center of Alt Schadow, follow route L42 northeast (toward Limsdorf). After one to 1.5 kilometers, you will reach a turnoff on the right toward the Godnasee parking lot. We are not able to precisely pinpoint the parking lot or which turnoff leads to it, but if you haven't turned within two minutes of leaving Alt Schadow, you've probably missed it.

Grünewalder Lauch

Grünewalder Lauch
Grünewalder Lauch is a small lake located a few kilometers west of the village of Grünewalde in southern Brandenburg. The large parking lot is next to the campground and the sandy textile beach at the southeast corner of the lake. Facing the lake at the textile beach, go to the right (north) just a few hundred meters and you will reach the FKK beach. This beach is a crescent of sand that extends about 65 meters.
The pinpointed beach is the only designated FKK area, but nudity is commonplace elsewhere around the lakeshore as well. The various small coves around the shoreline tend to draw a mix of textiles and nudists.

Heiliger See

Heiliger See
Heiliger See is an oblong lake in Potsdam, very close to Berlin. The north and west shores of the lake abut a park called Neuer Garten. The north end of the lake is the only part of the lake where swimming is permitted, and sunbathers cluster along the north shore in several small meadows formed by gaps in the trees. Heiliger See is quite popular even though there are reeds at the waterline. There are several openings in the reeds where swimmers can access to the water. Nude bathing is quite commonplace, and most nudists gather in the pinpointed meadow.
If you approach according to the directions outlined in the other placemarks, you will at first be walking next to a body of water called Jungfernsee, which is one of many lakes formed by the river Havel. After crossing the canal, you will angle toward the north end of Heiliger See. (The short canal connects Jungfernsee and Heiliger See.) The swimming area is roughly the 400-meter-long stretch defined by the canal on one end and a structure called Grünes Haus on the other end. (Grünes Haus is a large pale-green mansion with a red roof.) The FKK meadow along the lakeshore is about halfway between Grünes Haus and the canal.
Neuer Garten is the location of two palaces and other notable structures, some of which are pinpointed. Less than 500 meters from the FKK meadow, Cecilienhof is the palace that is notable as the site of the Potsdam Conference, where Truman, Churchill and Stalin met in 1945 and determined the shape of postwar Europe. Another palace, Marmorpalais (the Marble Palace), is visible across the lake from the FKK meadow.
Postdam, [urban], Brandenburg, Germany

The Glienicker Brücke is a bridge over the Havel River that connects Berlin and Potsdam. This placemark, at coordinates 52.4132, 13.0875 (Map It), is the approximate location of bus stop and tram stop Glienicker Brücke. Both the bus stop and the tram stop are on the Potsdam side of the bridge.
Although Potsdam is the capital of the state of Brandenburg, it abuts the national capital of Berlin and is essentially a suburb of Berlin. Public transit in Potsdam is part of the larger Berlin public transit network. The directions that follow assume you are coming from Berlin. You can get to Glienicker Brücke either by a combination of S-bahn and bus or S-bahn and tram. The bus and the tram approach the bridge from different directions. The bus crosses the bridge from Berlin. The tram line is entirely within Potsdam.
S-bahn and Bus:
Take S-bahn line S1 or S7 to Wannsee station, at coordinates 52.4213,13.1796 (Map It) in Berlin. At Wannsee station, board bus 316. The 316 is a line that goes back and forth between Wannsee station and Glienicker Brücke, which makes things easy. You'll be boarding the bus at one end of the line and staying on until the end stop, Glienicker Brücke, just after the bus crosses the bridge.
S-bahn and Tram:
Take S-bahn line S7 to Potsdam Hauptbahnhof station, at coordinates 52.3917, 13.0667 (Map It). This is the main train station in Potsdam, and it is at the end of line S7. At Potsdam Hauptbahnhof, board tram (Strassenbahn) line 93, in the direction of Glienicker Brücke. Stay on until the end stop, Glienicker Brücke. (The tram doesn't quite reaches the actual bridge.)
This placemark pertains to Heiliger See.

From the bus stop or the tram stop, briefly head toward Glienicker Brücke, then go left on a pedestrian and bicycle lane called Schwanenallee just before the bridge. Follow Schwanenallee northwest 600 meters. Cross the footbridge over the canal and then you will enter the grounds of Neuer Garten.
Immediately after the footbridge, the path will fork. Stay to the right.
Continue about 100 meters farther to a four-way junction. Stay straight ahead.
Continue about 100 meters farther and you'll reach yet another junction, where a path coming in from your left-hand side meets the trail you are walking on. When you reach that point, turn left through the grass and you'll be at the FKK meadow.

Helenesee

Helenesee
Helenesee is a recreation lake located south of the town of Frankfurt, which is usually written as Frankfurt (Oder) or Frankfurt an der Oder to distinguish it from the much larger and more familiar city of Frankfurt (i.e., Frankfurt am Main), which is over 600 kilometers away.
A large textile beach and campgrounds are located on the north shore of the lake. The FKK beach at the southwestern corner of the lake is a few kilometers away from the main textile beach, but the FKK area is directly accessible since it has a separate parking lot. There is a small parking fee.
The area near the parking lot is a broad, gently sloping sandy beach, and this is where most visitors congregate. However, nudity is possible all along the semi-circular 1.5-kilometer-long southwestern shoreline, which is roughly indicated by the red line. There is a restaurant above the FKK beach near the parking lot (clothing required inside).
Frankfurt an der Oder, [urban], Brandenburg, Germany

Assume that your starting point is Exit 9 (Frankfurt/Oder-Süd) of the A12 autobahn in Frankfurt an der Oder. Exit 9 is one of two exits for Frankfurt an der Oder (the other is Frankfurt/Oder-West). Heading east on A12, Exit 9 is the last exit before the autobahn reaches the border with Poland (where it continues east as Polish motorway A2).
Take Exit 9 and head south on B112 (away from the city center, toward Eisenhüttenstädt).
After about 4.3 kilometers on the B112, take the Lossow/Helenesee exit. The exit is at coordinates 52.2833, 14.5443 (Map It), where this placemark is pinpointed.
At the end of the exit ramp, you will reach a roundabout. Take the third exit of the roundabout. At that point, you should be heading west (toward Helenesee) on a street called Tankeweg.
Stay straight ahead on Tankeweg (which will eventually become Malchow and then Lossower Weg). Continue past the turnoffs to the campgrounds and the textile beach, after which the road will curve leftward and begin to follow the west shore of the lake. At 5 kilometers from the roundabout, you will reach the FKK parking lot on the left.

Kiessee

Kiessee
Kiessee is a small lake located in Mönchmühle, which is one of a conglomeration of villages that comprise the municipality of Mühlenbecker Land. Mönchmühle is located in Brandenburg, but it is at the border of Berlin. The distance from the lake to the Berlin border is almost exactly one kilometer.
An admission fee of a few euros is required to enter Kiessee. The entry is at the south end of the lake, and the meadow next to the entry point is textile. Nudists mainly gather on the eastern shore of the lake (to the right when facing the lake from the entry). Patterns of nudist and textile use on other parts of the lake are somewhat fluid and may depend on how crowded the lake is on a particular day. However, the lake is small. It takes about 10 minutes to walk around the entire shoreline.
GETTING THERE / PARKING:
Mönchmühle is about 17 kilometers north of the city center of Berlin and is within the city's S-bahn system. S-bahn station Mühlenbeck-Mönchmühle (line S8), at coordinates 52.6545, 13.3870 (Map It), is about 400-500 meters away from the entry to the lake.
If you arrive by car, go to Google Maps, click Get Directions, choose your departure and make your destination:
Am Fliess, Mönchmühle, Mühlenbecker Land, Germany
Am Fliess is the short street that goes to the parking lot next to the S-bahn station. This is the only parking lot in Mönchmühle. If it is full, look for streetside parking nearby.
From the S-bahn station, walk through the parking lot and turn right (west) onto Am Fliess. Straight ahead from the end of this short street, there is a path into the trees. The start of the path is at coordinates 52.6534, 13.3856 (Map It). The FKK area is actually straight ahead of you when you enter the path, but there is a fence. You'll have to follow the path as it curves to the left and goes to the south end of the lake, where the entry is located.

Malge

Strand Malge
Strand Malge is a beach on the south shore of a lake called Breitlingsee. The beach is about 7 kilometers southwest of Brandenburg an der Havel, which is among the larger towns in the state of Bradenburg. Strand Malge has a broad area of sand that extends about 200 meters, backed by a thick forest. Part of the beach is designated as FKK.
From the parking lot, you'll cross a railway en route to the beach. Just past the railway, the road to the left leads toward Seecamp Malge and Gasthaus am See Malge, while a trail to your right goes to the beach. Follow the beach trail through the forest about 250 meters and you will enter the beach at its southwestern end. Walk about halfway across the beach to reach the FKK area toward the northeastern end.

This placemark pertains to Strand Malge.

This placemark, at coordinates 52.3712, 12.5025 (Map It) is pinpointed at the southwestern edge of Wilhelmsdorf, which is small locality in the town of Brandenburg an der Havel.
If you are coming from the town center, there is a direct route that goes southwest all the way to Wilhelmsdorf. The road changes name several times. At the town center, the road is Steinstrasse. As you go southwest, it becomes Jacobstrasse → Wilhelmsdorfer Strasse → Wilhelmsdorfer Landstrasse → Ziesarer Landstrasse. At about 5.5 kilometers from the town center, you will reach Wilhelmsdorf. The final approach is indicated by the red line. As you reach the end of Wilhelmdorf, the main course of traffic will curve leftward onto Grüninger Landstrasse (see the green line). Do NOT follow the curve. Stay straight ahead. The road will change names again as it enters the forest, this time to Magdeburger Heerstrasse. Continue straight ahead (southwest) another 1.5 kilometers, then turn right into a long parking lot. Park as close as possible to where the parking spaces end at the railway crossing.
If you are coming from the autobahn: The A2 autobahn is an east-west route to the south of Brandenburg an der Havel. Take Exit 77 (Wollin), which is about 12 kilometers west of the main exit toward Brandenburg an der Havel (with no exits between the two except for a rest stop). Once you exit, head toward Grüningen (which is on the north side of the autobahn) about 700 meters and you'll reach a "T" junction. Turn right onto Grüninger Dorfstrasse (which will become Grüninger Landstrasse) and follow it northeast about 9 kilometers to Wilhelmsdorf. The final approach is indicated by the green line. As you arrive in Wilhelmsdorf, the main course of traffic will curve rightward (see the red line). Do NOT follow the curve. Instead, make a sharp left onto Magdeburger Heerstrasse. Go southwest 1.5 kilometers, then turn right into a long parking lot. Park as close as possible to where the parking spaces end at the railway crossing.

Ruhlsdorfer Kiessee

Ruhlsdorfer Kiessee
There is a cluster of flooded gravel pits between the villages of Ruhlsdorf and Sophienstädt, and one of them has been developed for swimmers. (Another lake, across the street, is designated for water skiing.) There are three beach areas along the swimming lake, and the parking area abuts the largest of these beaches, on the eastern shore. The east-shore beach is the main beach, and there is a parking fee even though amenities are minimal (namely primitive toilets and a snack cart). This beach tends to be mostly textile, but it is a spacious beach, so nudity is not out of the ordinary in peripheral areas.
Standing on the main beach facing the lake, the two other beaches are at opposite corners: one in the northwest, the other in the southwest. Both are attended mostly by nudists. This placemark is pinpointed at the southwest beach, which is the larger and more popular of the corner beaches. From the far southern end of the long parking lot, the distance to the southwest FKK beach is about 750 meters. A walk around the entire lake is a loop of about 2.75 kilometers.

Senftenberger See

Senftenberger See, Buchwalde
Senftenberger See is a large and popular recreation lake in the far south of Brandenburg, very close to the border with Sachsen (Saxony). Aerial photos of Senftenberger See are particularly distinctive because of the large island in the middle of the lake. This island a nature reserve that is not open to the public. The town of Senftenberg is situated on the northern side of the lake, and there are a number of camping and recreation establishments along the roughly 17 kilometers of lakeshore. There are three areas of the lake that are set aside for nude bathers.
This placemark pinpoints the FKK beach in Buchwalde, which is a village that abuts Senftenberg. When you reach the parking lot, orient yourself at the large silver water slide that is near the lakeshore. This slide is roughly the dividing point between the textile and FKK parts of the beach. Facing the lake, the FKK area is to the left (east) of the water slide. Just west of the water slide, there is a café with a deck that is built over the water.
The FKK beach at Buchwalde is well attended and easily accessible. Two other FKK areas are pinpointed on the opposite side of the lake.

Senftenberger See, Familienpark
Senftenberger See is a large and popular recreation lake in the far south of Brandenburg, very close to the border with Sachsen (Saxony). Aerial photos of Senftenberger See are particularly distinctive because of the large island in the middle of the lake. This island a nature reserve that is not open to the public. The town of Senftenberg is situated on the northern side of the lake, and there are a number of camping and recreation establishments along the roughly 17 kilometers of lakeshore. There are three areas of the lake that are set aside for nude bathers.
This placemark pinpoints a small FKK zone that is located within a camping park called Familienpark. It is available to the public but attended mostly by camping guests. The landmarks for finding the FKK zone are a playground, a looping blue water slide and a scenic overlook, which are all clustered in the same area. There are two PDF maps of Familienpark on the website Senftenberger-see.de that label the FKK area. One map puts the FKK area on the west side of the waterslide, et. al., while the other puts it on the east side. At any rate, if this placemark is not precise, it isn't far off the mark.
The two other FKK areas of Senftenberger See are pinpointed. Of the three FKK areas, the one at Familienpark is the smallest.

Senftenberger See, Südsee
Senftenberger See is a large and popular recreation lake in the far south of Brandenburg, very close to the border with Sachsen (Saxony). Aerial photos of Senftenberger See are particularly distinctive because of the large island in the middle of the lake. This island a nature reserve that is not open to the public. The town of Senftenberg is situated on the northern side of the lake, and there are a number of camping and recreation establishments along the roughly 17 kilometers of lakeshore. There are three areas of the lake that are set aside for nude bathers.
This placemark is pinpointed at a part of the lake called Südsee ("South Lake"). The huge island in the middle of Senftenberger See cuts off Südsee in a way that almost makes it a separate body of water. Nudists and textiles mix all along the beach of Südsee, which is the farthest removed part of the lake.
Two other FKK areas are pinpointed on other parts of the lake. The given directions show a driving route that goes clockwise around the lake, showing a possible way to explore all three FKK areas. However, if you wanted to go directly to Südsee, the most logical approach from Senftenberg would be to go counterclockwise around the lake, passing through the village of Niemtsch. There is not an automobile road that goes all the way across the south side of the lake. Thus, the driving route between the FKK areas at Familienpark and Südsee is rather circuitous.

Senftenberg lies east of the A13 autobahn and can be reached via exits 15 (Klettwitz), 16 (Schwarzheide) or 17 (Ruhland). The distance from the autobahn to Senftenberg is 9 to 17 kilometers, depending on which exit you take.
Assuming you come from the autobahn, your final approach to Senftenberg will be along route B169. Stay on the B169 as is skirts the northern edge of town and eventually you will cross a cluster of railway lines, at coordinates 51.5323, 14.0144 (Map It), where this placemark is pinpointed.
Just beyond the railway lines, exit onto route B96 (heading southeast toward Hoyerswerda). Once you are on the B96, you will have to turn a few times in Senftenberg to stay on the route. After about 2 kilometers, you will cross a short bridge over a canal, at which point you will enter Buchwalde. Continue 800 meters farther, and you will reach a right-hand turnoff onto Buchwalder Strasse. This is the point where the blue, red and aqua lines meet.
To go to the Buchwalde FKK beach: (continued in red)
Turn right onto Buchwalder Strasse. Follow it 400 meters to a small roundabout. Take the third exit of the roundabout toward a large parking lot.

Instead of turning onto Buchwalder Strasse, continue southeast along B96 another 3.3 kilometers.
To go to the FKK beach at Familienpark: (continued in orange)
Turn right toward Grosskoschen. Once you turn, you should see a huge parking lot on your left (just a point of reference; don't park yet), and you can see a sandy beach in the distance to your right. Follow the Grosskoschen road southwest 600 meters, bear right to stay on the main road, then continue 150 meters farther and you should arrive at a prominent roundabout. Take the first exit of the roundabout. Immediately after leaving the roundabout, turn left. When you turn, you should pass in front of an orange-roofed building with a brick structure attached that resembles a church bell tower. At this point, you should be on Niemtscher Weg. Follow it 350 meters, then turn right into a shaded parking lot. Continue down Niemtscher Weg on foot to the playground area, which is near the FKK beach.
To go to the FKK beach at Südsee: (continued in pink)
Do NOT turn toward Grosskoschen. Instead, continue along B96 another 4 kilometers. You will cross the boundary from Brandenburg into Sachsen. Just as you enter the small village of Lauta Dorf, turn right (west) onto route S103 (toward Hosena). Go 1.1 kilometers, then you will cross the state boundary again, re-entering Brandenburg, and the road number will change to L58.
Continue a few kilometers farther, staying on L58 as it winds through Hosena. One kilometer after crossing the railway in Hosena, L58 will turn toward Hohenbocka. Do NOT turn. Stay straight ahead. At this point you will be on L581, continuing west toward Schwarzbach. After 1.5 kilometers, turn right (north) onto K6602 (Hauptstrasse), heading toward Peickwitz.
After 1.2 kilometers, K6602 will make a sharp right in the center of Peickwitz (at which point the road will also be Senftenberger Strasse). Continue about 400-500 meters farther (northeast) and you will cross under a railway. Continue just over a kilometer beyond the railway, then make a sharp right onto An der Südsee. After turning, there is a large parking lot about 250 meters ahead on the left. Or, you can continue about 1.3 kilometers farther to another large lot at the end of An der Südsee. Both lots provide access to the large Südsee beach area, which is an informal mix of nudists and textiles.

This easily accessible lake has a designated FKK area that extends about 300 meters across the northwestern shoreline.
At the parking lot, you will be at the dammed eastern shore of the lake, which is a perfectly straight rock embankment. Looking straight across the lake from the parking lot, you will be looking toward the mouth of a stream. The stream is the dividing line between the textile and FKK areas. Turn slightly to the right and you'll be facing the FKK area across the lake. The shortest route to the FKK area is to the right, around the north end of the lake.
In both the FKK and textile areas, there are a few trees near the shoreline, but the lake is otherwise in the midst of wide-open, gently rolling meadowlands. A snack stand is operated in the textile area on peak days. There is an entry fee of €1.50 per person

Grosshartmannsdorf, Germany
The main road through the small town of Grosshartmannsdorf is Hauptstrasse, and two numbered routes—B101 and S210—follow Hauptstrasse through the town center. From the town center, go north (toward Freiberg) on Hauptstrasse for several hundred meters. Take note of the turnoff where S210 splits away to the east toward Mulda, but do not turn. From that point, continue straight ahead on Hauptstrasse/B101 another 600 meters, then turn left into the Neuer Teich parking lot.
If you approach from Frieberg (i.e., going south on B101), you'll reach the right-hand turnoff into the Neuer Teich parking lot just as you reach Grosshartmannsdorf.

Schwemmteiche Sayda

Schwemmteiche Sayda
The Schwemmteiche Sayda are two idyllic ponds nestled in the forest between Sayda and Neuhausen, just 10 kilometers away from the border with the Czech Republic. The smaller of the two ponds sits next to the Sayda-to-Neuhausen road (S207), while the slightly larger pond is 150 meters across a meadow, farther from the road. However, the point of entry to the area is at the larger pond, which is accessed from a pedestrian road through the forest. This placemark is pinpointed about halfway between the two ponds.
Nude bathing is common, but nudity may not be a feasible option at the larger (and more popular) pond on crowded days. Nude bathing is better established at the smaller pond. Entry is free, and there are no amenities here.

Stausee Oberwald

Stausee Oberwald
Stausee Oberwald is a developed recreation lake with many amenities, including camping, food concessions, a children's play area, and a water slide. Along the eastern shore of the lake, a manicured meadow about 400 meters in length is the "beach," and the northernmost quarter of this stretch is designed for nude bathing. Except for the lakeside FKK area, all other areas are textile. The entrance fee is a few euros per person. The walk from the parking lot to the FKK part of the beach is about 800 meters.
Stausee Oberwald is about 25 kilometers directly west of Chemnitz, which is the third largest city in Saxony.

Talsperre Pöhl

Talsperre Pöhl
Talsperre Pöhl is a large reservoir in the far west of Saxony. The closest major town is Plauen. This placemark pinpoints the tip of a large peninsula that juts westward into the lake from the village of Helmsgrün. From the start of the parking area and going westward, the entirety of this peninsula is an FKK area that is administered as a textile-free zone. In other words, swimwear is not allowed. The red line roughly outlines the FKK area of the lakeshore, which spans about 2 kilometers. Nudity occurs in the interior meadow of the peninsula as well.
While there is not a beach area with pure sand, there is a gently sloping grassy lawn bordered at the waterline by a broad band of pebbles mixed with sand. There are basic toilet facilities and snack stands.
The Talsperre Pöhl FKK area draws thousands of visitors on peak summer days, and it is said to draw the largest crowds of any interior nude beach in Germany. We'd wager that it rivals most coastal nude beaches in popularity as well. The parking lot, large though it is, cannot contain all the cars. Visitors drive along the grassy tracks and park all along the periphery of the lakeshore lawn. Whether you park in the lot or on the grass, you can leave your clothes behind in your car if you wish. There is a small entry fee per vehicle (not per person), and pedestrians and cyclists are admitted at no charge.

Thossfell, Neuensalz, Germany
Thossfell is a tiny village within the municipality of Neuensalz. It is located about 33 kilometers southwest of Zwickau and 66 kilometers southwest of Chemnitz. Thossfell lies along route B173, and the A72 autobahn skirts the northwest edge of the village. However, there is no direct autobahn access.
To get from the A72 autobahn to Thossfell, you can take either of two exits: 7 or 8. Exit 7, the southern/western of the two exits, is the Plauen-Ost exit. If you take this exit, follow B173 northeast toward Reichenbach. Exit 8, the northern/eastern of the two exits, it the Treun exit. If you take this exit, follow B173 southwest toward Plauen. Whichever exit you take, you will arrive in Thossfell after about 4 kilometers.
In the center of Thossfell, where this placemark is pinpointed, turn onto a minor road numbered K7880. (This will be a left if you came from Exit 7 or a right if you came from Exit 8.) K7880 goes toward Gansgrün and Helmsgrün. About 400 meters after turning onto K7880, you will cross under the autobahn.
Continue about 1.2 kilometers farther (west), then keep to the right when you reach the junction in the village center of Gansgrün. At this point, you will still be on K7880, heading north.
Continue about 2.5 kilometers farther to the next tiny village, which is Helmsgrün. At the village center, turn left onto Pöhler Strasse, which is the only left turn that goes anywhere.
Follow Pöhler Strasse west about a kilometer. The street ends in a huge parking lot.

Cospudener See

Cospudener See
Cospudener See is a large lake that is located about 8 kilometers south of the city center of Leipzig. The lake, which has over 10 kilometers of shoreline, lies partly in the city limits of Leipzig and partly in the neighboring rural district of Leipzig. There is a huge beach with plentiful sand across the entire north shore and along much of the eastern shore as well, and it is by far the most popular beach in Leipzig, drawing thousands of visitors on peak days. The north shore beach is called Nordstrand, while the east shore beach is called Oststrand.
The main point of entry to the beach is straight ahead from the pinpointed bus stop, approximately in the center of Nordstrand. There is small pier in this area. Facing the lake, the areas to the left of the pier (east) are all textile. To the right of the pier (west), the sandy beach curves about 600 meters across the northwestern shoreline, and swimwear tends to become less common the farther away from the pier you walk.
There is a snack kiosk in the FKK area. There is also a restaurant near the Nordstrand pier as well as other restaurants and beach amenities farther away along the eastern shore.
The lake is accessible by public transit. Take tram (Strassenbahn) 3 or 13 to stop Huttenstrasse‎, which is at the intersections of Huttenstrasse‎ and Dieskaustrasse in the Grosszschocher neighborhood of Leipzig. This intersection is at coordinates 51.3006, 12.3280 (Map It). The tram stop is a 2-kilometer walk from the FKK part of the beach, mostly along Lauerscher Weg. However, you can take the bus instead. Around the corner from the tram stop, board bus 65 (in the direction of Markkleeberg) and get off at the third stop, Cospudener See, Nordstrand. Be sure not to get off at the bus stop that is just past the huge parking lot. The bus stop you want is the next one after that. Both these bus stops are pinpointed with blue flag placemarks.

This placemark, at coordinates 51.2930, 12.3535 (Map It), is pinpointed at the turnoff from route S46 into the huge Cospudener See parking lot. Technically, this turnoff is in the town of Markkleeberg, just east of the Leipzig city limits. However, you will actually enter Leipzig as you go from the parking lot to the lake.
If you are coming from Leipzig, you will reach this location 2.1 kilometers southeast of the intersection of Brückenstrasse (S46) and Dieskaustrasse in Grosszschocher (a neighborhood is the south of Leipzig). If you are coming from Markkleeberg, you will reach this location 1.4 kilometers northwest of the intersection of Ziegeleiweg (S46) and Koburger Strasse. Note that S46 changes names from Brückenstrasse to Ziegeleiweg at the Leipzig/Markkleeberg boundary.
Once you park, it is still about 1.2 kilometers to the beach along a road the is closed to automobiles (except buses), then it is a little farther still to the FKK area. However, you can cut out 800 meters of that walk by taking the bus. As you walk down the road toward the lake, just past the parking lot there are bus stops on both sides of the road. You'll want the bus stop on the right. Take either bus line (65 or 79) and get off at the next stop. Both bus stops are pinpointed, with the distance between them drawn in aqua.

Kulkwitzer See

Kulkwitzer See
Kulkwitzer See is a popular recreation lake located on the western periphery of the urban district of Leipzig, about 10 kilometers west of the city center. Swimmers and sunbathers gather all along the eastern shore of the lake, while wind surfers and boaters launch from the western shore. Nudity occurs along parts of the shoreline. The shoreline to the north of the camping area is textile. To the south of the camping area, there is long grassy lawn that faces northwest and extends about 700 meters. The area is predominantly textile but with occasional nudists even though this is not within the designated FKK area.
Near the curvature of the shoreline, there is a café and a children's play area with a walk-in fish sculpture and an octopus slide. To the south of these landmarks, the shoreline faces southwest, and this is where nudists gather. The designated FKK area is a lakeshore lawn that extends about 300 meters, from the play area southward to the point where the lakeshore trail veers very close to the waterline. The FKK area draws a mix of nudists and textiles. Restrooms are located in the textile areas, as are a few other cafés. Admission to the lake is free.
The lake is easily accessible by public transit. Take tram 1 or 2 to the western terminus (Lausen). The tram station is located at coordinates 51.3065, 12.2604 (Map It), about 500-600 meters from the FKK area.

The east-west street is route B87, which is also named Lützner Strasse. The north-south street is named Strasse am See on the south side of this intersection but is named Grossmiltitzer Strasse on the north side. To get here from the center of Leipzig, just follow the B87 all the way. This intersection is about 8 to 9 kilometers west-southwest of the central city.
At this intersection, go south on Strasse am See. It will be a left turn if you approach from the city center.
Follow Strasse am See for one kilometer, then turn right into a large parking lot. This lot is located just before tram station Lausen, which is where the tram tracks end and make a loop (at the end of Ratzelstrasse).

Naturbad Luppa

Naturbad Luppa
Naturbad Luppa is a small, developed swimming lake located just north of the village of Luppa, in a rural setting just under an hour's drive east of Leipzig, the closest major city. The lake has a circumference of about 2 kilometers, and about two-thirds of that distance is a long beach that wraps around the northern, eastern and southern shoreline. Food concessions and other amenities are clustered toward the northern end of the lake near the parking lot, where the broadest and sandiest part of the beach is located. That area is textile. About half the beach toward the southern end is designated as FKK. There is an entrance fee of about €2 per person, plus a €2 parking fee. The lake is open from early May through mid-September.

Bergwitzsee Halbinsel

Bergwitzsee Halbinsel
Bergwitzsee is a large recreation lake located in the village of Bergwitz, about 12 kilometers south of Wittenberg. All the main areas are textile, but there is a peninsula covering about 15 acres on the southeastern part of the lake that is designated for FKK use. (Halbinsel, which literally means "half island," is the German word for "peninsula.") The FKK area is undeveloped, forested and rather secluded, all the way across the lake from the campground and main beach.
A fee is charged to park in the large pinpointed lot. The main sandy textile beach is next to this parking lot. (The access road curves to the right at the parking lot, continuing toward the camping and bungalow area.) Facing the lake at the main beach, go to the left on the bicycle path that skirts the lakeshore. After almost 2 kilometers, the path will enter a forested area. Keep following the lakeshore about 300 kilometers farther and you'll reach the access to the FKK peninsula.
The FKK area at Bergwitzee is quite possibly the closest nude beach to the birthplace of the Protestant Reformation. The church where Martin Luther presented his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517 is about 13 kilometers away in Wittenberg.

Boberger See

Boberger See
Boberger See is a small, undeveloped lake in Hamburg that is located about 12 kilometers southeast of the city center in the borough of Bergedorf. The lake takes its name from the nearby neighborhood of Boberg, but it is actually accessed from the neighborhood of Billwerder, which has the aura of a farm village despite being with the urban limits of Hamburg.
The lake is ringed by trees, but there are small breaks in the trees where there is access to the water. The orange line shows part of the route of a bicycle path that skirts the northeastern shoreline of the lake. This shoreline is textile, and there is a small snack stand along this part of the lake. Along the southern shoreline, there is a large meadow that is a bit off the main beath path. This part of the lake is an informal but popular FKK area. Some nude bathers gather in the open meadow area close to the lakeshore. Behind this meadow, there is a labyrinth of small trails through the trees with various small open spaces, and some nudists sunbathe in these secluded niches. The FKK part of the lake is heavily visited by gay men, but the crowd is not exclusively gay.
If you follow the bicycle path east from the lake, you'll soon reach a geographic anomaly—a small area of inland sand dunes called the Boberger Dunes.
By public transit, you can start at either Billstedt U-bahn station (line U2), at coordinates 53.5424, 10.1067 (Map It), or Mittlerer Landweg S-bahn station (lines S2 and S21), at coordinates 53.4978, 10.1318 (Map It). Each station is an end stop of bus 330. In other words, from either station you can only go one direction on bus 330. From either station, take bus 330 to stop Billwerder Kirche. The bus stop is at St. Nikolai church (Kirche = "church").
Check the schedule closely since the bus runs just once an hour. If you'd rather skip the bus, you can walk all the way from the S-bahn station in 30-40 minutes through a pastoral area, but the walk from the U-bahn station is longer (closer to an hour) and through an industrial area.

Follow the path that begins across the street from St. Nikolai church, which is easily recognizable by its prominent steeple. After about 100 meters you will cross a footbridge with blue side rails over the Bille, which is a small river. Just beyond the bridge, keep straight ahead (ignoring the side path to the right that follows the river).
A bit less than 200 meters farther along, you will cross a small earthen bridge over an irrigation ditch. Just past this bridge, there is a small side path to the right. At this point, you can either take the side path or continue straight ahead along the broader path to reach the FKK area.
If you take the side path (the shorter route, continued in green), you will be walking south, with the irrigation ditch on your right-hand side. After about 275 meters, the path will enter a grove of trees. After about 100 meters of walking through the trees, you will emerge at the FKK meadow.
If you stay straight ahead on the main path (drawn in aqua), continue about 200-250 meters farther to a fork. Turn right. You will be heading in a southeasterly direction across the north shore of the lake, through the main textile area. (To your left, you'll see a large open space that is a landing field for small aircraft.) About 500 meters farther along, the path will curve toward the southwest, following the shoreline of the lake. Continue through the trees about 250 meters farther and you'll arrive at the FKK meadow.

Luftbad, Stadtpark

Luftbad, Stadtpark
Stadtpark is a large urban park located about 6 kilometers north of the city center of Hamburg in the Winterhude neighborhood of the borough of Hamburg-Nord. There is a designated FKK sunbathing area in the park called Luftbad (which means "air bath"). The FKK area is partitioned into three sections, all of them surrounded by privacy hedges. There is an area for women, an area for men and a mixed-gender area. There is an admission fee of a €2 per person, which discourages non-nudists from dropping by to have a look. Luftbad is just a sunbathing lawn (i.e., no swimming facilities), but there are restrooms and showers. It is open only on sunny days from May through September.
The major landmark for orienting yourself around Stadtpark is the planetarium (one of the largest in Europe), which is a tall red-brick structure with a dome toward the west end of the park. Start at the planetarium and head east across the grassy corridor (toward the lake). After 300 meters you will cross a street (Hindenburgstrasse). Just beyond, the corridor widens to become the large central lawn of the park. At that point, Luftbad is to your left.

Sommerbad Volksdorf

Sommerbad Volksdorf
Sommerbad Volksdorf is a recreation pond with a circumference of about 350 meters—essentially the size of a really large swimming pool. It is located in the Volksdorf neighborhood of the Wandsbek borough of Hamburg, about 21 kilometers northeast of the city center. It is literally at the edge of the city limits. If you walk through the trees that surround either the north or the east side of the pond, you'll be in the neighboring state of Schleswig-Holstein.
Sommerbad Volksdorf is administered by a naturist club, which leases the property from a public works authority. The pond is open to the public, and there is an admission fee of several euros per person. There are significant discounts for youth and for members of DFK, the German national naturist association.
Although operated by a naturist club, there are no nudity or clothing requirements on the property. Visitors may be naked or wear swimsuits. A source of irritation for many nudist visitors is the large number of textiles, especially since Sommerbad Volksdorf is usually billed as an FKK entity. The sandy beach on the south side of the pond, which has a protected swimming area for children, tends to be mostly textile, although visitors are free to be naked as long as they don't mind being in the minority. The lawns around the rest of the pond are usually all or mostly nude.
Sommerbad Volksdorf is available to the public June 1 - August 31 from 10:30 am - 6:00 pm. During other months, the pond is available only to members of the naturist club. There is a café as well as facilities for volleyball, table tennis and other sports. There is also a small sauna facility (closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays) that is available for an extra fee.

Wangern

Strand Wangern
Insel Poel is a sparsely populated island that is linked to the mainland via a causeway. The beach of the island's northern and western shoreline spans about 12 kilometers, and there are three developed beach areas along this span: Timmendorf, Schwarzen Busch and Gollwitz. Outside these three areas, nudity is commonly practiced along undeveloped parts of the beach. The most popular gathering place for nudists is the 2-kilometer-long west-facing beach that is south of the Timmendorf beach but north of a nature reserve. This beach is most commonly called Strand Wangern after the nearby inland village.
From the pinpointed parking lot, you will enter the beach at what is effectively its far southern end. As you face the sea, there is the fence across the beach to your left (south) that is the boundary of a nature reserve. The reserve is a protected area with no public access. To your right, the beach extends northward toward the textile beach of Timmendorf. This is a narrow, undeveloped beach backed by low cliffs and a band of forest, and most visitors cluster toward the southern end of the beach near the parking lot.
Insel Poel, Nordwestmecklenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

Wangern, Insel Poel, Germany
Insel Poel is the name of both an island and a municipality that includes the 15 or so small villages and hamlets scattered around the island. Insel Poel is linked to the mainland village of Gross Strömkendorf via route L121, which crosses a causeway. About 3.5 kilometers after crossing the causeway, L121 reaches the edge of Kirchdorf and Oertzenhof, which are twin villages that form the main island town in the center of the island. Beyond these villages, there are no numbered routes.
As you reach the edge of Kirchdorf and Oertzenhof, watch for signs toward Weitendorf, Wangern and Timmendorf, which are all tiny villages toward the western side of the island. Follow the Weitendorf-Wangern-Timmendorf road southwest. After 2 kilometers, stay to the right, ignoring the turnoff to Weitendorf. Continue west toward Wangern and Timmendorf. After 900 meters, you will reach Wangern, where this placemark is pinpointed.
In Wangern, turn left toward the hamlet of Hinter Wangern and a nature reserve called Naturschutzgebiet Fauler See-Rustwerder. This is the only possible left in the village that is a through road. Once you turn, you will no longer be heading toward Timmendorf.
After turning, go southwest 2.2 kilometers and you will reach a "T" juntion in Hinter Wangern. Turn left. Continue southwest about 700 meters to a large parking lot at the end of the road.

Hohe Düne-Markgrafenheide

Strand Hohe Düne-Markgrafenheide
Hohe Düne and Markgrafenheide are adjacent districts that are part of Rostock, which is the largest city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. These two districts are on the east side of the mouth of the river Warnow, which is the river that forms Rostock's large port. (Most of Rostock's seaside development is in the district of Warnemünde, on the opposite side of the mouth of the river.)
Both Hohe Düne and Markgrafenheide have limited development and few permanent residents. Hohe Düne has a large yacht resort at its far west end, next to the Warnow, but otherwise the district is occupied mostly by a military base. Markgrafenheide has a number of small hotels and a large campground. Nudity is acceptable along most of the beach of Hohe Düne and Markgrafenheide. This placemark is pinpointed approximately at the border of the two districts.
The two red lines are approximations of two long zones of FKK use in Hohe Düne and Markgrafenheide, while the two green lines approximate textile areas. Starting at the southwest end, a short stretch of beach adjacent to the yacht resort in Hohe Düne is textile. To the immediate northeast is the first of the two FKK zones, which extends nearly 3 kilometers through the rest of Hohe Düne and into Markgrafenheide. There is actually quite a mix of nudists and textiles in this zone. Continuing northeast through Markgrafenheide, there is a textile zone of a little more than a kilometer in the vicinity of the campground and other development. Continuing northeast past this textile zone, you will enter the second FKK zone, which is a seemingly endless stretch.
If you keep walking far enough, you will reach a small lake called Heiliger See (pinpointed) that is just inland from the beach. The area around Heiliger See is called Rosenort, and it is generally the preferred gay area of the beach. Rosenort is quite a long walk from the parking lots at Markgrafenheide—nearly 4 kilometers. It is actually closer to approach this area from the opposite end. There is a parking lot at coordinates 54.2438, 12.2126 (Map It). This lot is accessed from a turnoff in Torfbrücke, which is a village along route L22 at the northernmost part of Rostock. (Just beyond Torfbrücke is the neighboring town of Graal-Müritz.) Heading southwest along the beach from the Torfbrücke access (to the left when facing the sea), you'll be in a lightly populated part of the beach where nudity may be encountered, and you'll reach the Rosenort area after about 2.5 kilometers.
Between Markgrafenheide and Torfbrücke (a span of over six kilometers), there is a large forest area called the Rostock Heath (Rostocker Heide), which is one of the largest urban forested areas in Germany. The paths to the beach through this forest are for pedestrians and cyclists. There is no automobile access, which is why it is such a long walk to Rosenort from the nearest parking.
The two pinpointed parking lots in Markgrafenheide are the only beach lots in the area, and they are insufficient for summer crowds. Many visitors overcome this parking shortage by taking the bus. Rostock city bus #18 goes from the central city to Markgrafenheide and Hohe Düne (via Nienhagen and Hinrichshagen). The bus stop at Markgrafenheide is at coordinates 54.1936,12.1455 (Map It). After Markgrafenheide, bus 18 turns westward along the coast and makes four more stops before terminating at the pinpointed ferry crossing. There is also a train station in Torfbrücke.

Markgrafenheide, Rostock, Germany
Markgrafenheide is a small seaside district of Rostock, which is the largest town in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and a major port. Markgrafenheide is located along an unnumbered road, and it is a few kilometers east of the mouth of the river Warnow, which is the river that forms Rostock's port. The driving distance from the center of Rostock to Markgrafenheide is about 20 kilometers, with a few possible driving routes. If you take a driving route through Warnemünde, you will have to take the Warnemünde-Hohe Düne ferry over the mouth of the Warnow, which adds a little to the driving time. You can avoid the ferry by taking a driving route through the nearby district of Hinrichshagen (Map It).
Assume that you approach via Hinrichshagen. As you enter Markgrafenheide, watch for the right-hand turnoff toward Baltic Freizeit Camping (but do not turn). This placemark is pointed at that turnoff, at coordinates 54.1912, 12.1552 (Map It). From here, stay on the road through Markgrafenheide exactly one kilometer farther, then you will reach a right-hand turnoff into a large public parking lot next to the beach. Or, you continue along the road, which will make a sharp leftward curve and begin to parallel the beach. About 300 meters farther is the entrance to another large parking lot, which is on the left, across the street from the beach.

Fischland-Darss-Zingst

Strände Fischland-Darss-Zingst
The Fischland-Darss-Zingst peninsula is an oddly shaped land mass that is almost an island. It vaguely resembles a handgun pointing east. At its southwestern extreme, the peninsula is connected to the mainland at an isthmus in the small town of Dierhagen. It is also connected to the mainland via a bridge (pinpointed) that is located south of Zingst. Along the peninsula, there is more than 20 kilometers of west-facing beach and more than 25 kilometers of north-facing beach.
It is difficult to pinpoint a single area and call it a nude beach because the entire peninsula is essentially a nude beach, with certain protocols. There are far more places where nudity is acceptable than where it isn't.
Starting at Dierhagen and going counterclockwise, the major villages are Wustrow, Ahrenshoop, Prerow and Zingst. At all these villages, the most centrally located and congested beach areas will be all textile. At any particular location, go toward the periphery and swimsuits gradually become less and less common. Zones of textile and FKK use are fluid and indefinite. At some peripheral but still crowded parts of a beach, it is not unusual to see one naked bather for every ten textile bathers. Nudity is freely acceptable as an option. To get away from textile majorities, just go to a beach access farther away from the center of whatever village.
On the north side of the peninsula, the villages of Prerow and Zingst are about 5 kilometers apart, linked by route L21. The stretch of beach between the villages is particularly easy to access, with multiple streetside parking areas and shorts paths through the coastal forest. This placemark is pinpointed along that stretch.
To the west of Prerow, nude bathing occurs mainly toward the west end of Camp Prerow, a seaside campground that is split into textile and FKK zones. Much of the area west of Camp Prerow and extending south almost to Ahrenshoop is national park land with no automobile roads. To the east of Zingst, nude bathing is also possible. Much of the eastern end of the peninsula to the east of Zingst is also park land that is accessible only by bicycle or on foot.
Several red paddle placemarks along the western side of the peninsula pinpoint other places where nude bathers are often a majority.

(multiple), Nordvorpommern, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

The 5-kilometer long stretch of beach between Dierhagen and Wustrow can be accessed from a number of dune crossings.
This placemark pertains to Strände Fischland-Darss-Zingst.

Ahrenshoop is a popular tourist village that is renowned for its colorful, thatched-roofed, storybook houses. The 2 kilometers or so of beach that is most centrally located tends to be all textile, but nudity becomes more common as you go away from the village center in either direction.
This placemark pinpoints a protrusion of land at the south end of Ahrenshoop that tends to draw a high proportion of nude bathers, and nudity is likewise common on the narrow ribbon of beach extending southward beneath the cliffs. The closest parking to this part of the beach is a small lot along route L21, just south of the side street Weg zum Hohen Ufer. The lot is at coordinates 54.3749, 12.4161 (Map It).

Ahrenshoop is a popular tourist village that is renowned for its colorful, thatched-roofed, storybook houses. The 2 kilometers or so of beach that is most centrally located tends to be all textile, but nudity becomes more common as you go away from the village center in either direction.
To bypass most of the textiles, you can access the beach at the north end of town. From the central part of town, follow route L21 northeast (toward Prerow and Zingst) just over a kilometer and there is a large parking lot on the inland side of the street next at medical complex called Reha-Klinik. The lot is at coordinates 54.3912, 12.4392 (Map It). There is another parking area about 750 meters father along, also on the inland side of the road, at coordinates 54.3964, 12.4466 (Map It), and it is the last available parking area for automobiles. About 350 meters farther along, the L21 turns inland, but the bicycle path that parallels the road through Ahrenshoop continues straight ahead about 2 kilometers farther, leading to several more beach accesses. From all these access points, you are likely to encounter nudists, with nudity becoming more common (and crowds gradually thinning out) the farther north you go.
This placemark pertains to Strände Fischland-Darss-Zingst.

Weststrand is the name that generally refers to the stretch of beach that extends from Ahrenshoop northward to the northwestern tip of the peninsula in the vicinity of the Darsser Ort lighthouse. This west-facing beach is about 10 kilometers long and is notable for its windblown trees. This placemark is pinpointed approximately in the center of the span of the beach. There is no automobile access to any part of Weststrand. The part of the peninsula that is north of Ahrenshoop and west of Prerow has no roads that are open to automobile traffic, but there is an extensive network of bicycle paths from which the beach can be accessed at many different points. Nudity is acceptable along any part this remote beach.

Hiddensee & Rügen Beaches

Insel Hiddensee

Insel Hiddensee
Insel Hiddensee is a long, narrow island with a west-facing beach that extends over 15 kilometers. The island is not bridged to the mainland, and cars are not allowed. Access is via passenger ferry, and most visitors get around by bicycle. The island is popular with tourists, but, since it lies within a national park, it does not have large-scale development. There are many small guesthouses and private houses to rent, and many of the island's structures are thatched-roofed cottages. There are four villages: Vitte, Kloster, Grieben and Neuendorf. Vitte, toward the northern end of the island, is the main village. (The location that Google Earth and Google Maps labels as "Insel Hiddensee" is actually Vitte.) Kloster and Grieben are a little farther north than Vitte, while Neuendorf is about 5 to 6 kilometers south of Vitte.
Nudity can be practiced just about anywhere on Hiddensee away from the main beach accesses of the villages. However, most nudists cluster toward the southern part of the island, south of Neuendorf, which is the southernmost of the villages. A popular point of FKK access is the small red and white Gellen lighthouse (not to be confused with the much larger Dornbusch lighthouse at the northern end of the island). The Gellen lighthouse is located at coordinates 54.5081, 13.0743 (Map It), about 2 kilometers south of Neuendorf. Many boats anchor near the Gellen lighthouse, and it is common to see a mix of nudists and textiles among the boats. South of the lighthouse, the beach is seemingly endless, and nudity is possible as far as you'd care to walk. The bicycle path that runs parallel to the beach continues south about 2 kilometers beyond the Gellen lighthouse, then the beach continues south over 3 kilometers beyond the end of the bicycle path.
GETTING THERE:
Ferry service is available from several towns, but the shortest route and most frequent service is from the village of Schaprode. The ferry dock in Schaprode is located at coordinates 54.5134, 13.1634 (Map It), and there are a number of large parking lots in the village. (Schaprode itself is located on the island of Rügen, but Rügen is bridged to the mainland.)
There are mutliple daily ferry departures from Scharprode. At some departure times, there is ferry service to one of three villages: Neuendorf, Vittte or Kloster. At other departure times, the same ferry stops at two villages or at all three villages. The ferry dock at Neuendorf, at coordinates 54.5242, 13.0928 (Map It), is the closest to the main FKK beach, and trips from Scharprode to Neuendorf take about 30 minutes. Round-trip fare is about €15 per person, plus an additional fee if you bring your own bicycle. Bicycles can be rented at any ferry dock on the island. If you stay overnight, your accommodations may provide you with a bicycle.
Signs along the bicycle paths indicate the directions and distances to the different villages and other landmarks. In Neuendorf, watch for signs to "Leuchtturm Gellen," which is about 1.5 to 2 kilometers south of the village. (Leuchtturm means "lighthouse.")
The ferry website is in German only. Click "Fahrplan" then "Schaprode" to view the ferry schedule to the island, then "Rückfahrten" for return service. It is possible to visit Hiddensee as a day trip, staying as long as nine hours if you arrive at and depart from Neuendorf.

Schaabe

Strand Schaabe
The island of Rügen, which is bridged to the mainland via a causeway, is the largest of Germany's islands. It is known for its rugged beauty and is home to several national parks and nature reserves. Nude bathing is possible at many places in Rügen, and other placemarks pinpoint designated FKK zones at and near the beach resorts in the southwestern part of the island. Strand Schaabe presents an opportunity for nude bathing at an undeveloped, seemingly endless beach, farther removed from crowds.
Strand Schaabe is the beach of a long bay that stretches about 12 kilometers along the northeastern coast of Rügen. There is mixed FKK and textile use all along the 8-kilometer-long span of the beach that lies between Glowe and Juliusruh (which is near Breege). This placemark pinpoints the central area of the immense beach.
Glowe, Germany
Glowe is located along route L30. From Glowe, head northwest (toward Breege) on L30. Just after you leave the development of the small town, there will be a number of small parking lots and beach access trails spread out over the next 7 to 8 kilometers.
Glowe and Breege, Rügen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

Binz

Strand Binz
Binz is the largest of the resort towns on the island of Rügen. It is situated at the far south end of a long bay that stretches about 10 kilometers. The beach of Binz is about 3 kilometers long, and there are FKK areas at both ends.
This placemark pinpoints the northern of the two FKK zones, which occupies a stretch of a few hundred meters near the northern edge of Binz toward Prora (a complex of huge, drab buildings that was planned as a resort in the 1930's but never used as such). This FKK zone is behind the large Seehotel Binz-Therme Rügen campus of buildings, and it is about 2 kilometers north of the pier that is a prominent landmark in the heart of Binz.
There is also an FKK area at the southern end of Binz that begins about 700 meters south of the pier, just past the last beachfront structure. Although it is closer to the town center, the southern FKK zone is less popular and not as highly regarded as the northern FKK zone. Furthermore, parking is more plentiful at the northern zone.
Binz, Rügen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

This is one of the two FKK zones along the beach of Binz. At 700 meters south of the pier, it is close to the heart of the resort town, but it is not as popular as the FKK zone that it 2 kilometers north of the pier.

Binz, Germany
Binz is located along route L29. This placemark is pinpointed in the heart of town, at the point where L29 intersects Hauptstrasse, which is the tree-lined pedestrian promenade that leads directly to the pier.
To go to the southern FKK area: (drawn in orange)
Putbuser Strasse is the next side street to the south of Hauptstrasse. It goes toward the beach, curves rightward, then dead ends about a kilometer from where it starts at L29. The FKK area is just a few steps from the end of the street. There is not a large parking lot in this part of town. Watch for signs to various small lots in the area.
To go to the northern FKK area: (drawn in blue)
Starting at the promenade, go north on L29 (toward Prora and Sassnitz) for 2.3 kilometers, then turn right across the railway at a sign pointing to "Seehotel Binz-Therme Rügen." Just after crossing the railway, you will reach a "T" junction with Dollahner Strasse. Turn left, go north just over 100 meters, then turn right into a large parking lot. This lot provides direct access to the FKK beach.
Note: Seehotel Binz-Therme Rügen is a large campus of about 20 white buildings. Some have orange roofs; most have black roofs; all are about three stories. This is last major development in Binz as you go north, and the parking lot closest to the FKK beach is just past the north end of the hotel complex.

Strand Binz

Göhren & Thiessow

Strand Göhren
At the far southeast of the island of Rügen, the town beach of Göhren has two designated FKK zones. The main FKK area is just south and east of the textile beach. If you are standing at the prominent pier facing the sea, the FKK zone is about 300-400 meters to your right. Most nudists congregate near the start of the FKK area, where there are chairs available for rent, but the beach continues about a kilometer farther, ending at the easternmost point of the island. As you go south and east, the beach narrows and becomes more rugged, with cliffs rising up behind the beach. Nudity is commonplace along this entire stretch.
There is also a smaller FKK zone (pinpointed) on the opposite end of Göhren's beach. The other zone, about 800 meters north and west of the pier, is along part of the beach where dogs are allowed.
Göhren, Rügen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany
There are 12 placemarks related to these nearby sites: Strand Göhren and Strand Thiessow.

At about 800 meters north of the pier, an area of the beach at entrances 17, 18 and 19 is a designated Hundestrand, where dogs are allowed. The part of the Hundestrand at entrance 17 is also designated as FKK.
This placemark pertains to Strand Göhren.

Strand Thiessow
The small town of Thiessow is located at the extreme southeastern corner of the island of Rügen, and it is accessed by a single minor road that comes in from the north. (This road dead ends just past Thiessow in the neighboring village of Klein Zicker.) The long, sandy town beach of Thiessow faces east, and it is divided into textile and FKK zones. The textile zone is farther south, closer to town. The FKK zone corresponds to Fürst Jaromar Hotel and to the northern end of Camping Oase (both pinpointed), and you don't have to go all the way to Thiessow proper to get to the FKK area. A small area designated for dogs (Hundestrand) divides the textile and FKK areas, and the dog beach is visited by both textiles and nudists.

A small section of the beach, across the street from the northern end of Camping-Oase and just south of Fürst Jaromar Hotel, is a designated area for dogs. This Hundestrand is visited by nudists and textiles, and it is a transitional zone from the FKK beach to the north and the textile beach to the south.

Camping Freizeit-Oase Lobbe

Göhren, Rügen, Germany
Göhren is located at the far southeast of the island of Rügen (which is bridged to the mainland via a causeway at Stralsund), and it is at the terminus of route B196. This placemark, at coordinates 54.3432, 13.7205 (Map It), is pinpointed just west of Göhren. When you reach this point, the road will fork. The right fork (see the dark blue and orange lines) is the continuation of B196. The left fork (see the aqua line) is Strandstrasse.
To go to Göhren Strand: (drawn in dark blue and aqua)
The right fork (dark blue) goes through the center of Göhren, while the left fork (aqua) skirts the north side of town. It does not matter which fork you take. Either way, you'll be on a route that makes a loop through Göhren, and after about 2 kilometers on either route you will reach various parking lots near the beach.
To go to Thiessow Strand: (drawn in orange)
At the fork, keep to the right, staying on B196. After just 200 meters, turn right again, following signs toward Thiessow.
At this point, you will not be on a numbered route. At any junctions, just follow the sign indicating the way to Thiessow. You will be going south, with the coastline on your left-hand side.
After about 3.5 kilometers, you will skirt the edge of the village of Lobbe, then the road will pass through a camping area called Freizeit-Oase (not to be confused with just plain Oase, which is farther south). Freizeit-Oase spreads out along both sides of the road for about 600 meters.
Once you have passed the end of Freizeit-Oase, continue south exactly 2 kilometers farther, then turn right into a parking lot. A beach entrance across the street leads directly to the FKK beach.
Note: There are several parking lots along the 2.6-kilometer-long stretch between Camping Freizeit-Oase and Fürst Jaromar Hotel. The parking lot closest to the FKK zone is the farthest south of these lots. Fürst Jaromar is a country hotel that consists of about half a dozen cottage-like buildings with steep-pitched orange roofs. If you reach the hotel, you'll be next to the FKK zone of the beach, but you'll need to turn around and backtrack about 600 meters to the parking lot.

Usedom Beaches

Usedom General Information
Usedom is an island at the far east of Germany's coastline. The geography is such that you need to study a map carefully to perceive it as an island. The Baltic Sea coastline of Usedom spans about 45 kilometers (indicated by the green line), and almost all of it is within Germany. The easternmost 3 to 4 kilometers of the coastline lies within Poland, where the city of Świnoujście ("Swinemünde" in German) is located. A short river through Świnoujście separates Usedom from Wolin, an island that is entirely within Poland.
The inland shoreline of Usedom abuts a network of large lagoons. Usedom is bridged to mainland Germany at two locations: Wolgast, at coordinates 54.0548,13.7866 (Map It); and at via the Zecheriner Brücke, a bridge at coordinates 53.8658, 13.8281 (Map It) that is about 15 kilometers from Anklam, the closest major mainland town.
The German part of Usedom (i.e., just about all of it) is part of a nature reserve. The residential population of Usedom is quite low, but the dozen or so towns spread out along the coastline are popular holiday destinations. Among the attractions are a number of regularly spaced zones of the beach designated for FKK use. If you were to drive the entire length of Usedom along the coastal route, the drive would take about 45 minutes, and you'd pass an FKK area about every 5 minutes.
The website Usedom.de is a tourist guide to Usedom that is available in German, English and Polish.
This placemark pertains collectively to all the nude beach listings for Usedom: Ahlbeck, Bansin, Haffbad Ueckermünde, Karlshagen 10G, Karlshagen 10P, Koserow, Koserow-Zempin, Mönkebude, Trassenheide, Ückeritz, Zinnowitz Ost and Zinnowitz West.

Strand Karlshagen, 10P
The beach at Karlshagen is divided into 16 sectors, numbered 10A - 10P, that spread out over about two kilometers. Two of the sectors, 10G and 10P, are designated as FKK.
Area 10P is the northernmost of the sectors, and it is located a short distance north of the main beach entrance, just past a nature center called Naturschutzzentrum Karlshagen.
Strandstrasse, Karlshagen, Germany
Strandstrasse ends at a roundabout next to the beach, and there are a number of small public parking lots along Strandstrasse and neighboring streets. (All the parking within the camping area is reserved for campers.) Facing the sea from the end of Strandstrasse, turn left and walk north about 600 meters to reach area 10P.
Usedom-Nord, Ostvorpommern, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany
There is 1 placemark related to this site. See also the "i" information placemark, which contains general information about Usedom and its many nude beaches.

Strand Karlshagen, 10G
The beach at Karlshagen is divided into 16 sectors, numbered 10A - 10P, that spread out over about two kilometers. Two of the sectors, 10G and 10P, are designated as FKK.
Nine of the sectors, 10B - 10J, abut a large camping area called Dünencamp that is about one kilometer long. Area 10G is next to the central part of Dünencamp. About 100 meters long, this FKK zone is visited mostly by campers.
Strandstrasse, Karlshagen, Germany
Strandstrasse ends at a roundabout next to the beach, and there are a number of small public parking lots along Strandstrasse and neighboring streets. (All the parking within the camping area is reserved for campers.) Facing the sea from the end of Strandstrasse, turn right and walk southeast about 800 meters to reach area 10G.
Usedom-Nord, Ostvorpommern, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany
There is 1 placemark related to this site. See also the "i" information placemark, which contains general information about Usedom and its many nude beaches.

Strand Trassenheide
The southeast end of the beach at Trassenheide is designated as FKK.
Strandstrasse, Trassenheide, Germany
Strandstrasse leads to a large parking lot located at coordinates 54.0940,13.8756 (Map It). The final 400 meters of Strandstrasse beyond the parking lot is a pedestrian street that leads to the beach. Facing the sea, turn right and walk southeast about 500 meters to reach the FKK area.
Usedom-Nord, Ostvorpommern, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany
There is 1 placemark related to this site. See also the "i" information placemark, which contains general information about Usedom and its many nude beaches.

Strand Zinnowitz West
There are FKK areas on either side of the textile beach at Zinnowitz. This placemark pinpoints the western FKK area, which is about a kilometer west of the prominent pier.
Neue Strandstrasse, Zinnowitz, Germany
Strandstrasse is the route that goes from B111 toward the pier at the central area of the beach. The start of the street is called Alte Strandstrass. After crossing the railway, it becomes Neue Strandstrasse.
From B111, follow Strandstrasse 1.6 kilometers to the cross street Dünenstrasse, at which point you'll have to turn one way or the other since the remaining stretch of Strandstrasse is a pedestrian promenade. Turn left onto Dünenstrasse and follow it 400-500 meters to the parking lots near the end of the street. One lot is at coordinates 54.0828, 13.9084 (Map It). From the lot, it is a short walk to the beach. Facing the sea, turn left and walk west about 250 meters to the FKK area.

Strand Zinnowitz Ost
There are FKK areas on either side of the textile beach at Zinnowitz. This placemark pinpoints the eastern FKK area, which is about a kilometer east of the prominent pier.
Neue Strandstrasse, Zinnowitz, Germany
Strandstrasse is the route that goes from B111 toward the pier at the central area of the beach. The start of the street is called Alte Strandstrass. After crossing the railway, it becomes Neue Strandstrasse.
From B111, follow Strandstrasse 1.6 kilometers to the cross street Dünenstrasse, at which point you'll have to turn one way or the other since the remaining stretch of Strandstrasse is a pedestrian promenade. Turn right onto Dünenstrasse and follow it 400 meters to the parking lot near the end of the street. The lot is at coordinates 54.0787, 13.9200 (Map It). From the lot, it is a short walk to the beach. Facing the sea, turn right and walk east about 500 meters to the FKK area.

Strand Koserow-Zempin
The beach between Koserow and Zempin is designated for FKK use. The FKK zone begins about 600 meters northwest of the prominent pier at Koserow.
While this beach is plenty popular and very easy to access, note that this is one of two FKK beaches associated with Koserow, and the other one is generally more highly regarded.
Zempin, Germany
From Zempin, follow route B111 southeast toward Koserow. About a kilometer past the development of Zempin, turn left (toward the sea) onto Hauptstrasse (which is the loop road through Koserow that intersects the B111 twice). Once you are on Hauptstrasse, there are three beach entrances within the next 800 meters. All three of these lead directly to the FKK area. There are parking spaces along the street.
Koserow, Ostvorpommern, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

Strand Koserow
Generally regarded as the nicest and most scenic of Usedom's FKK beaches, the FKK area of Koserow Strand sits beneath a steep wooded hillside called "Streckelsberg." At 56 meters high, Streckelsberg is the third highest point on Usedom. Three breakwaters about 100 meters offshore protect the broad beach from the full impact of strong waves.
It is possible to get to the beach via a staircase down the hillside (see the directions below) or by going to the main textile area at the pier and walking east about one kilometer. The pier is located at coordinates 54.0602, 14.0006 (Map It).
Förster-Schrödter-Strasse, Koserow, Germany
The small seaside town of Koserow is located just off route B111, and Hauptstrasse is the 3-kilometer-long loop road through town that intersects B111 twice. Assume that you turn onto Hauptstrasse at the eastern of the two intersections, which is the closer of the two intersections to the town center. Follow Hauptstrasse northwest for one kilometer, then turn right onto Förster-Schrödter-Strasse. At this point, the entrance to the beach is 700 meters straight ahead, at the dead end of Förster-Schrödter-Strasse. The first 300 meters of Förster-Schrödter-Strasse is a regular street. After the cross street Vinetastrasse, Förster-Schrödter-Strasse is a pedestrian street. There is not a designated parking lot near the beach entrance, so look for streetside parking in the area. The staircase to the beach is located at coordinates 54.0554,14.0081 (Map It). Facing the sea from the stairs, the FKK area is to your right.
Koserow, Ostvorpommern, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

Strand Ückeritz
Strandstrasse is the beach access road. The entrance to the beach at Ückeritz is located straight ahead from the point where Strandstrasse bends southeast toward the campground. Facing the sea at the beach entrance, turn left and go northwest about 500 meters to reach the FKK zone.
If you were to go to the right instead (i.e., southeast), you'd be following the beach next to a campground called Naturcampingplatz "Am Strande" that has camping spaces scattered along the entire 6-kilometer-long stretch between Ückeritz and Bansin. Two zones of the beach next to the campground are designed as FKK, but both these FKK areas are much closer to the Bansin end. See the Bansin Strand placemark for details.
Ückeritz, Germany
Strandstrasse is the side street that leads from route B111 to the beach. The parking lot is located at coordinates 54.0159, 14.0653 (Map It).
Ückeritz, Ostvorpommern, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

Strand Bansin
The beach between Bansin and Ückeritz is a rugged 6-kilometer-long stretch of coastline, and along much of this stretch the land rises to form a bluff behind the beach. A campground called Naturcampingplatz "Am Strande" has camping spaces hidden in the woods above the coastline along the entire 6-kilometer stretch. The are 26 short access paths from the campground down to the beach (not evenly spaced). These paths are identified by consecutive letters, from A to Z. "A" is closest to Bansin, while "Z" is at Ückeritz, where the camping reception is located.
Two areas of the beach between Bansin and Ückeritz are designated as FKK, and both are much closer to the Bansin end than to Ückeritz. Approaching from Bansin, the first FKK area is at access "C" (the third path), several hundred meters past the development of Bansin. The second FKK area is at access "F" (the seventh path), several hundred meters past "C." Note that this placemark is in the general vicinity of the FKK areas but does not precisely pinpointed either one.
Seestrasse, Bansin, Germany
Bansin is a subdivision of the municipality of Heringsdorf, and it is located northwest of the main part of Heringsdorf. Seestrasse is the route to the beach. Facing the water, turn left and go northwest to reach FKK area "C." Area "F" is a bit farther along.
Parking in Bansin is limited. If you can't find parking in town, there is a lot from which you can approach the FKK areas from the opposite end. Exit Bansin and follow B111 northwest (toward Ückeritz) for 2.2 kilometers. Turn right (toward the sea) onto a minor road with signs indicating "camping" and "parking." Follow this road for 1.5 kilometers to the lot, which is located at coordinates 53.9882, 14.1115 (Map It). Just past the parking lot, there is a path through the woods that descends to the beach. Facing the sea, turn right and walk southeast a short distance to FKK area "F."
Heringsdorf, Ostvorpommern, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

Strand Ahlbeck
The distance between the easternmost development of the town of Ahlbeck and the Polish border is about 1.5 kilometers, and this has customarily been an FKK zone, except for the part readily visible from the border. Until recently, there was a fence across the beach at the international boundary. That fence came down in 2007, and more Polish visitors have begun to stroll across the beach into Germany since the large Polish town of Świnoujście ("Swinemünde" in German) is situated just beyond the border.
Despite being neighbors, Germans and Poles have very different ideas about displays of nakedness. Poland is far more socially conservative than Germany. Some Poles claim to have been scandalized by naked bodies so close by; some Germans have complained about Poles that come to stare at naked bodies. In response to the recent cultural friction, large signs have been erected at both ends that clearly announce the limits of the FKK area in German and Polish. The FKK area between the signs stretches 500 meters.
Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf, Germany
Ahlbeck is a subdivision of the municipality of Heringsdorf, and it is located southeast of the main part of Heringsdorf. When mapping Ahlbeck, be sure to qualify it with "Heringsdorf" or "Usedom" to avoid confusing it with the inland town of Ahlbeck, which is also located in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. There are no large beach parking lots in Ahlbeck. One option is to look for parking and access to the beach as far east in Ahlbeck as possible. If you do this, you'll enter the FKK zone from its western end.
Another option is to drive toward Poland on Swinemünder Chaussee, which is a straight-ahead continuation of route B111. About 1.5 kilometers after you leave the development of Ahlbeck, you will reach a parking lot called Grenzparkplatz immediately before the Polish border, at coordinates 53.9233, 14.2133 (Map It). From Grenzparkplatz, a broad, well-defined path leads about 800 meters through the woods to the beach. Facing the sea from the end of the path, turn left and shortly you'll enter the FKK zone from its eastern end.
Heringsdorf, Ostvorpommern, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

Strand Mönkebude
This beach is grouped with the Usedom beaches due to its relative proximity, but Mönkebude is not actually on the island of Usedom, nor does it face the Baltic Sea. Mönkebude is on the south side of Stettiner Haff, which is one of the large lagoons between Usedom and the mainland. The inland shoreline of Usedom is about 9 kilometers across the lagoon from Mönkebude.
The are just a few sandy beaches along the Usedom area lagoons, and Mönkebude is one of them. Although the beach is small, the far eastern end is designated as FKK. Compared to the Usedom beaches, Mönkebude is quite obscure.
Mönkebude, Germany
Mönkebude is a very small town, and L31 is the east-west route through it. In the center of town, the street Am Kamp goes north toward the lagoon. Less than 200 meters after turning onto Am Kamp from L31, you will reach a parking lot on the left, at coordinates 53.7689, 13.9681 (Map It). From there, continue along the street on foot, staying straight ahead at all junctions. After 300 meters, you will reach the small marina, and the beach will be to your right, immediately east of the marina.
Mönkebude, Uecker-Randow, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

Haffbad Ueckermünde
This beach is grouped with the Usedom beaches due to its relative proximity, but Hafffbad Ueckermünde is not actually on the island of Usedom, nor does it face the Baltic Sea. Haffbad Ueckermünde is on the south side of Stettiner Haff, which is one of the large lagoons between Usedom and the mainland. The inland shoreline of Usedom is about 9 kilometers across the lagoon from Haffbad Ueckermünde.
The are just a few sandy beaches along the Usedom area lagoons, and Haffbad Ueckermünde is one of them. The beach is just east of the mouth of the river Uecker, a few kilometers from the town center of Ueckermünde. Haffbad Ueckermünde is just under 800 meters long. The northwest end of the beach, where the main amenities are located, is textile. The southeast end of the beach (to the right when facing the water) is FKK. There is a parking fee of €1.50.
Ueckermünde, Germany
Ueckerstrasse is the main street through Ueckermünde. Follow Ueckerstrasse southeast (toward Poland). On the eastern side of town, you'll cross a bridge over the river Uecker. About 250 meters after the bridge, you'll reach a roundabout. Continue straight ahead through it. About 300 meters farther along, keep straight ahead (ignoring the right-hand turn toward Eggesin). After the Eggesin turnoff, Ueckerstrasse will become Belliner Strasse. Continue about one kilometer farther, then turn left onto Neuendorfer Strasse. Go north about 800 meters to the Neuendorf neightborhood, where the road will curve to the left and become Haffstrasse. Continue northwest another 500 meters, then turn right into the large beach parking lot. The lot is at coordinates 53.7473, 14.0713 (Map It).

Inland

Insel Bohnenwerder, Carwitzer See

Insel Bohnenwerder, Carwitzer See
Insel Bohnenwerder is a small island in a lake called Carwitzer See. This lake is located at the far south of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern at its border with Brandeburg, and it is not especially close to any major towns. This island is undeveloped, with no facilities or services at all. The entire island, which spans at most 400 meters from one extreme to the other, is an informal FKK area, with nude bathers typically outnumbering textiles. A line of trees encircles the island, and there are a few gaps in the trees where there is access to the water. The main gathering spot is at an opening in the trees on the south shore.
Bohnenwerder is barely separated from the mainland. The distance from the closest parking area to the island is about 700 meters, via the road that goes past the former home (now a museum) of Hans Fallada, a celebrated early 20th-century novelist. This road leads directly to the short footbridge that connects to the island.
Feldberger Seenlandschaft, Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

Carwitz, Feldberger Seenlandschaft, Germany
Carwitz is a small village within the municipality of Feldberger Seenlandschaft, which is usually just called Feldberg. Carwitz is located 6 kilometers south of Feldberg, and it is reached by minor roads, either via the hamlet of Neuhof or via the hamlet of Wittenhagen.
Assume that you approach via Neuhof. You will be heading east on your final approach to Carwitz, and you will reach a tiny roundabout as you enter the village. This placemark is pinpointed at the roundabout. From here, continue east through Carwitz for 800 meters and you will reach a fork. The fork is signed for Hullerbusch and Wittenhagen toward the left and for Hans-Fallada-Haus toward the right. Bear right, and you will immediately reach a row of parking with room for few a dozen cars. If this parking area is full, you'll need to find the closest available streetside parking and return to this parking row on foot.
The walking route to Insel Bohnenwerder is along the road that goes by Hans-Fallada-Haus, which is a small museum.

Kölpinsee

Kölpinsee
Kölpinsee is a among a cluster of lakes in the Müritz district of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The largest town in the district is Waren, which is usually written as "Waren (Müritz)." The lakeshore beach at the east end of Kölpinsee is in the small town of Klink, which is about 8 kilometers south of Waren (Müritz). Part of this beach is designated as FKK.
The textile beach is straight ahead from the parking lot. Facing the lake, turn right and go north about 200 meters to reach the FKK area. The FKK beach is about 100 meters long, and there is a long hedge behind the beach. While this is the main gathering spot for nude bathers, nudity is also commonplace in the small lakeshore niches on the opposite side of the textile beach.
Note: Kölpinsee also happens to be the name of a locality in Usedom, which is an island on Germany's Baltic coastline that has many FKK beaches that are much better known than this fairly obscure inland location. Thus, if you do an online search for "Kölpinsee" and "FKK," you are likely to get results related to the nude beaches of Usedom. You can refine your search by adding "Klink" and "Müritz."

This placemark pertains to Kölpinsee.

Klink, Germany
Klink is a small town along route B192 that is located between two lakes: a large lake called Müritz to the east and a smaller lake called Kölpinsee to the west. If you start at Exit 17 (Waren/Müritz) of the A19 autobahn, you can follow B192 all the way to Klink. The distance is 17 kilometers.
Assuming you approach from the autobahn, you will be heading north on B192 (toward Waren) as you pass through Klink. Watch for a prominent structure called Schloss Klink to your right (east). Schloss Klink is a historic castle that is now a hotel. Just beyond the castle, turn left (west) toward Kölpinsee. The access road leads 600 meters to a parking lot.
This placemark pertains to Kölpinsee.

Friedrichskoog

Strand Friedrichskoog
The beach of Friedrichskoog faces the tidal flats of the North Sea. The sandy part of the beach is always waterlogged, so the large green lawn behind the beach is where beach chairs are set up. The beach is about 1.5 kilometers long, and part of it is designated for FKK use. We are not able to precisely pinpoint the FKK sector, so this placemark pinpoints the approximate midpoint of the beach. The directions below lead to the largest beach parking area. This lot is next to the tourist information center, where you can inquire about the precise location of the FKK area.
Koogstrasse, Friedrichskoog, Germany
Koogstrasse is a straight ahead continuation of route L144. It ends at a "T" junction with Süderdeich/Strandweg, at which point there is a large parking lot next to the beach. The lot is at coordinates 54.0292, 8.8388 (Map It).
Friedrichskoog, Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Stinteck

Strand Stinteck
Stinteck is part of the municipality of Westerdeichstrich, and both Stinteck and Westerdeichstrich are just north of the coastal resort town of Büsum. About 3.5 kilometers north of the popular textile beach at Büsum, there is a designated FKK beach in Stinteck. As you face the sea from the pinpointed parking lot, the FKK is immediately to your right (north), while a seaside camping area is in the opposite direction.
The FKK beach extends several hundred meters, and both ends are clearly signed. There are beach chairs for rent in the FKK area, and there is a café next to the parking lot. As is the case with most mainland German beaches along the North Sea, a wide expanse of mud flats is exposed at low tide. Since there is no sand that is always dry, the beach chairs are set up on a grassy lawn.
Westerdeichstrich, Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

This placemark pertains to Strand Stinteck.

Büsum is a coastal resort town located at the western end of route B203, about 16 kilometers west of the terminus of the A23 autobahn near Heide. Assume you are heading toward Büsum on B203. Just before you reach Büsum proper, you will reach a roundabout at coordinates 54.1465,8.8768 (Map It), where this placemark is pinpointed. This is the only roundabout along B203 that you'll encounter in the vicinity.
At the roundabout, take the first exit and follow a minor road (K71) west. After 1.2 kilometers you'll reach another roundabout. Go straight through it. Continue 500 meters farther to the next roundabout, then take the first exit.
At this point, you should be heading north on the minor road (K55) that goes through Groven. After 1.8 kilometers, the road will begin to make a long curve toward the right. In the arc of this curve, turn left into Stinteck.
The road will curve several times as in winds through the residences of Stinteck. At 1.7 kilometers after turning, you will be heading straight toward the sea, and the road will fork. Keep to the right. The road will then make a rightward curve toward a parking lot next to the beach.
This placemark pertains to Strand Stinteck.

Sankt Peter-Ording

Strand Sankt Peter-Ording
Sankt Peter-Ording is a popular spa resort town that is located at the southwestern end of a landmass called the Eiderstedt peninsula. The main beach associated with the town is located on the north side of town in the subsidiary area called Ording.
This enormous west-facing beach is a tidal flat that is over 500 meters wide in many places, and an unusual feature of the beach is that visitors park on the compacted sand. The immense, unpaved, triangular parking area spans 800 meters from south to north. Next to the parking area, there are several buildings on stilts that line the beach. These buildings house cafés and sanitary facilities. The part of the beach next to these buildings is textile. Facing the sea, go right and you will reach the FKK area a short distance past the last of the buildings and the small playground. The walk to the FKK area will be just a few hundred meters if you are able to park at the extreme northwest corner of the parking lot. From the start of the FKK area, nudity is possible going north about 2.5 kilometers to the end of the beach at a shallow estuary.

B202 is the main route that goes through the middle of the Eiderstedt peninsula toward Sankt Peter-Ording. Assume that you are heading west across the peninsula on B202. About 5.5 kilometers after passing through Tating, B202 will begin to curve leftward just past Campingplatz Sass. This placemark, at coordinates 54.3322, 8.6182 (Map It), is pinpointed at the start of the curve. When you reach this point, bear right onto K10 (Utholmer Strasse).
Follow K10 northwest for one kilometer, at which point it will end at an unusual type of "T" junction. When you get to the junction, turn left, but immediately after turning left you should stay to the right. You want to turn onto the beach parking access road, not onto K9.
Follow the access road south about 200 meters. Just past the small toilet building, turn right at the sign pointing toward "Ording 1" parking. When you enter the enormous parking area, keep to the right. The beach access closest to the FKK area is straight ahead from the far right (north) side of the parking lot.

Nordermühle

Strand Nordermühle
Pellworm is among the North Frisian cluster of islands, and it is reached by ferry from the mainland. Unlike some of the other islands, Pellworm is contained entirely within the tidal marsh area, and thus it has no sandy beaches. The beach areas on the island are grassy lawns that overlook the mudflats. One of these grassy beaches is designated as FKK. The FKK beach is in Nordermühle, which is just a locality, not an actual village or town. Nordermühle is easily identifiable by the large windmill that sits next to the main road that makes a loop around the island.
The FKK beach at Nordermühle is relatively minor compared to other North Frisian FKK beaches. The beaches of Sylt and Amrum are much more renowned.
Pellworm.de is a guide to visiting the island, and some pages are available in English.
Adler-Schiffe operates automobile ferry service from Nordstrand on the mainland to the southeast side of Pellworm. The ferry dock is near the neighboring villages of Ostersiel and Tammensiel. L97 is the highway that makes a loop around the periphery of the island. When you leave the ferry dock, keep straight ahead and you will be filtered onto L97 going north through Ostersiel and Tammensiel. Once you are on L97, follow it north and west for 4.4 kilometers, at which point you will reach a prominent windmill that is very close to the highway. Turn right onto Norderhaffdeich, which is the side road that is immediately before the windmill. Follow Norderhaffdeich north 500 meters to a parking lot on the right. The lot is at coordinates 54.5431, 8.6413 (Map It). Go to the beach and walk back toward the windmill to find the FKK area.

Amrum

Strand Amrum
Amrum is one of the North Frisian Islands, a cluster of North Sea islands in the vicinity of the border of Germany and Denmark. A single north-south highway through Amrum (L215) is 9 kilometers long and connects its three towns: Wittdün, Nebel and Norddorf. Amrum's west-facing beach spans more than 12 kilometers, and it is notable for its exceptional beauty and width. The beach is backed by large, lush dunes. Depending on the tide, the distance from the dunes to the waterline can exceed 500 meters.
Nudity is acceptable most anywhere along the beach away from textiles, and there are three areas—one in each of the three towns—where nudists cluster. This placemark pinpoints the southern of the three FKK areas, in Wittdün. This part of the beach is easily identifiable by the tall red and white lighthouse that is behind the beach. Of the three FKK areas, the Wittdün beach is the most popular since is is located adjacent to a primitive FKK camping area that is nestled in the huge field of dunes between the beach and the lighthouse. The two other FKK areas are pinpointed by other placemarks.
Transporting a car to Amrum is possible but not necessary. Bicycles are a popular way to get around, and there is also a bus service that links all three towns, with stops at access points to all three FKK areas. Buses run every half hour during peak season and hourly at other times. The website Amrum.de provides essential information about visiting the island and is available in German, English, Danish and Turkish.
The ferry terminal is located at the southern end of Amrum in Wittdün, and you can arrive as a passenger or with a car. If you plan to take a car, you'll need to reserve in advance. The principal ferry route to Amrum is from the mainland town of Dagebüll. During summer, there is direct Dagebüll-Amrum service twice a day that takes 90 minutes, but there is more frequent service via a ferry that stops at the nearby island of Föhr and takes two hours. It is also possible to reach Amrum from the mainland town of Schlüttsiel, either via the island of Hooge or Langeness, but service is far less frequent than from Dagebüll. The website Faehre.de has ferry information in Germany, English and Danish. Another ferry operator, Adler-Schiffe, offers additional routes to Amrum from the mainland town of Nordstrand and from Hörnum on the island of Sylt.
To go to the southern FKK beach (Wittdün): From the ferry dock at Wittdün, you'll be filtered onto L215, the highway that runs the length of the island and connects the three towns. Follow L215 north and west for 2.8 kilometers to a parking lot on the right, at coordinates 54.6324, 8.3589 (Map It). This is the parking area for the southern of the three FKK beaches (where this placemark is pinpointed), and it is easily identifiable by the tall red and white lighthouse that is just 250 meters away. Across the highway from the parking lot, there are two trails. With your back to the parking lot, the trail to your right goes to the lighthouse, while the trail to your left is an 800-meter-long beach access path that skirts the edge of the primitive FKK campground and leads directly to the FKK beach.
To go to the central FKK beach (Nebel): Follow the previous directions, but keep going north on L215 for 2.2 kilometers past the lighthouse, at which point L215 will make a 90° leftward curve and begin to go west. After 400-500 meters, L215 will make another 90° curve, this one to the right. Instead of following the second curve, continue straight ahead (west) and after 1.1 kilometers you will reach Nebel beach parking at coordinates 54.6466, 8.3281 (Map It). Facing the sea, the FKK area is to your right (north).
To go to the northern FKK beach (Norddorf): Follow the previous directions, but continue along L215 at the second curve in Nebel. After another 3.4 kilometers, as you arrive in Norddorf, there is a large parking lot on the left, at coordinates 54.6779, 8.3307 (Map It). From this lot, there are trails and boardwalks through the immense field of dunes that lead directly to the FKK beach, via a hike of more than one kilometer. Alternatively, you can continue through Norddorf to the other of the two beach parking areas, which is at coordinates 54.6872, 8.3238 (Map It). This lot directly abuts the textile beach. Facing the sea, the FKK area is to your left (south). Both approaches lead to the same area.
(multiple)*, Nordfriesland, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
* The island is divided into three municipalities, and there is an FKK beach in each. The southern FKK beach is in Wittdün, the central FKK beach is in Nebel and the northern FKK beach is in Norddorf.

This is the middle of the three FKK zones of Amrum, located in Nebel. Facing the sea from the beach parking lot, the FKK area is to the right (north).
This placemark pertains to Strand Amrum.

This is the northern of the three FKK zones of Amrum, located in Norddorf. Facing the sea from the textile beach parking lot, the FKK area is to the left (south). It is also possible to reach the FKK area by hiking over the immense sand dunes (there are boardwalks) from the parking lot in the middle of Norrdorf.
This placemark pertains to Strand Amrum.

Goting

Strand Goting
Föhr is one of the North Frisian Islands, a cluster of North Sea islands in the vicinity of the border of Germany and Denmark. Föhr is located within the tidal marsh area between the mainland and the island of Amrum, so it does not front the open sea. However, unlike some other similarly situated islands that lack sandy beaches, the are sandy beaches in Föhr, specifically all along the south coast of the island. Roughly in the center of the southern coast, there is an FKK area at the far west end of the beach of the hamlet of Goting, which is just west of the larger village of Nieblum.
The FKK area is about one kilometer west of the seaside parking lot that is next to the textile beach in Goting. However, regardless of your mode of transit, it is possible to completely bypass the textile beach and arrive directly at the FKK area, as detailed in the directions below.
The website Foehr.de provides essential information about visiting the island, and parts of the website are available in English and Danish.
The ferry terminal is located on the southeastern side of Föhr in the town of Wyk auf Föhr, and you can arrive as a passenger or with a car. If you plan to take a car, you'll need to reserve in advance. The ferry route to Föhr is from the mainland town of Dagebüll. The website Faehre.de has ferry information in Germany, English and Danish.
L214 is the only major route on the island, and it is a loop road that connects the various villages and hamlets. From the ferry dock, stay straight ahead and you will be filtered onto the part of the L214 loop that goes across the southern side of the island. At about 5.5 kilometers west of the ferry dock, you will pass through the village of Nieblum. About a kilometer past Nieblum, you reach reach the hamlet of Goting.
In Goting, turn left onto Guatingwai and follow it south for 300 meters, at which point it with merge into Uasteranj-Stich. Stay straight ahead (southwest). Less than 100 meters farther along, the next side street to the right is Bruckswai.
If you are cycling or walking, do not turn onto Bruckswai. Stay straight ahead. Uasteranj-Stich will become Wikingwai, which continues southwest another 500 meters and ends at the FKK beach.
If you are driving, turn right onto Bruckswai and follow it west 750 meters to a four-way intersection. Turn left. You will be heading toward the beach, with a grove of trees on your right and an open field on your left. After 200 meters, you will reach a small informal parking area at coordinates 54.6894, 8.4586 (Map It). This parking area is next to the beach at the mouth of a stream. A footbridge over the stream leads directly to the FKK beach.
There is also a local bus service that includes a bus route that goes clockwise along the L214 and another that runs counterclockwise, both stopping at all settlements, including Goting. The bus stop at Goting is a one-kilometer walk from the FKK beach, via the Guatingwai → Uasteranj-Stich → Wikingwai route described above.

Sylt Beaches

Sylt General Information
Sylt is an island in the North Sea that is unique for a number of reasons. Sylt is one of the North Frisian Islands (Nordfriesische Inseln), and it is the fourth largest of Germany's islands. It is mostly long and narrow, but there is a prominent land mass near the middle of the island that extends eastward toward the mainland, giving Sylt its distinctive shape. From north to south, Sylt is about 35-40 kilometers long. The west side of the island faces the North Sea and is a continuous broad, sandy beach. There are narrower, non-continuous beaches on the east side of the island, but most of the eastern shoreline overlooks marshland and mudflats. Sylt is the northernmost island in Germany, and its northern extreme is also the northernmost point in Germany. The northern half of Sylt (roughly) is farther north than the mainland border of Germany and Denmark.
Sylt is a very popular (and somewhat pricey) summer holiday destination, and part of the appeal of the island is a paucity of high-rise hotels and other large-scale development. There are lots of small hotels as well as houses that can be rented, and some of the properties are thatched-roofed, storybook cottages that are a hallmark of the island. The beaches are the big attraction of the island, and the nude beaches have long been famous. The first nude beach in Germany was established in Sylt all the way back in 1920. The expansion of the nudist culture was knocked off track by the tumult of Germany during the 30's and 40's. (The Nazis banned public nude bathing in 1931.) In 1954, the FKK culture of Sylt was reborn with the re-establihment of an officially designated nude beach, and the FKK culture has flourished. Today, there are no less eight areas of Sylt's long west-facing beach that are designated for FKK use, and nudity is also acceptable at remote, uncrowded stretches of beach. More so than any other German beach resort, visitors come to Sylt to be naked on the beach.
An especially distinctive feature of Sylt involves the way people get there. Most visitors arrive by train, and if you want to arrive by car, you still go by train since there is no road from the mainland. The Marschbahn railway links Sylt to the mainland via a long causeway called the Hindenburgdamm, and this placemark is pinpointed roughly in the middle of the causeway. The Marschbahn carries both regular passenger trains and trains that ferry cars. If you arrive without a car, you can plan your journey from anywhere since the Marschbann is part of the Deutsche Bahn rail network. Cars can be rented in Westerland, and there is also a local bus network with five lines (click "Fahrkarten" for a map) that serve almost all the island (including all the nude beaches). If you take a car to Sylt, you will be arriving on a car-ferry train called the Sylt Shuttle. Drivers load their cars onto the train in Niebüll (map the station) and arrive in Westerland (map the station). The 40-kilometer journey takes 35 minutes. During warmer months, the Sylt Shuttle runs both ways once an hour from early morning to early evening, with more frequent service on weekends and holidays. A one-way trip on the Sylt Shuttle is about €45 for a regular passenger vehicle.
The website Sylt.de has extensive information about the island, its villages, the accommodations and transportation. This website is available in German, English and Danish.
This placemark pertains collectively to all the nude beach listings for Sylt: Hörnumer Strand, Kampen Strand Buhne 16, List Strand, Rantum Strand Samoa, Rantum Strand Sansibar, Wenningstedt Strand, Westerland Strand Oase zur Sonne and Westerland Strand Nordseeklinik.

This placemark, at coordinates 54.3952, 10.2941 (Map It), is pinpointed at the turnoff from route B502 onto the minor road numbered K44 that goes north toward Wendtorf. This location is northeast of Kiel, which is the capital and largest city of Schleswig-Holstein. B502 originates in Kiel. If you turn onto B502 from where it begins at the B202/B76 in Kiel, you will reach this pinpointed located after 15.7 kilometers. The Wendtorf turnoff is about a kilometer past (east of) Lutterbeck. If you reach Barsbeck, you've missed it by about 2 kilometers.
Assuming you are coming from Kiel, turn left toward Wendtorf and follow K44 north. Stay straight ahead through all intersections. As you approach the sea, you will eventually pass by a large marina, which will be to your left. 4 kilometers after you turn from B502 and shortly past the marina, turn right into a large parking lot, where you'll have to pay a fee to park. The entrance to the parking lot is immediately next to the entrance to Camping Oase Bonanza.

Behrensdorf-Lippe

Strand Behrensdorf-Lippe
The beach access at Behrensdorf and the beach access at Lippe are about 2.8 kilometers apart, and much of the pastoral stretch of coastline between the two accesses is backed by a lagoon called Kleiner Binnensee. The narrow band of beach between the two access points is popular with nude bathers. This placemark is pinpointed about halfway between Behrensdorf and Lippe, but nudity is possible along most of the stretch between the two pinpointed parking lots. If you park in Behrensdorf, walk to the right (southeast) when facing the sea. If you park in Lippe, walk to the left (northwest) when facing the sea. From either approach, you'll begin to encounter nudists within a few hundred meters. There is a broad bicycle path that runs the entire length of the beach, and there are about ten short dune crossings that connect the bicycle path to the beach. If you were to walk the entire distance between the two parking lots, it would take 30 to 40 minutes.

The coastline at Behrensdorf and Lippe is rather remote, and getting there involves following minor roads with a lot of turns. The directions below outline what seems to be the least complicated route.
Lütjenburg is the closest significant town in the vicinity that is along a major route. Lütjenburg is located along route B202, about 35 kilometers east of Kiel. Assume that you take the main exit from the B202 into Lütjenburg. Just after you exit, instead of going toward the town center, turn onto route L165 (Schönberger Strasse), which is the road that goes north to Darry and Gadendorf. The start of this road in Lütjenburg is at coordinates 54.2883, 10.5835 (Map It).
Follow L165 north (passing through Darry) about 6.6 kilometers. In the vicinity of Gadendorf, you will reach a right-hand turnoff onto K26 (Dorfstrasse). This placemark is pinpointed at the K26 turnoff, at coordinates 54.3421, 10.5579 (Map It). (Note: The village of Gadendorf is just west of this point, and there are two left-hand turnoffs from L165 into Gadendorf that are about 500 meters apart. The right-hand turnoff onto K26 is about halfway between the two left-hand Gadendorf turnoffs.)
K26 is the route that goes to Behrensdorf, but you'll have to make a few turns to stay on the course of the minor route. After turning from L165, follow K26 east and north as it curves through the hamlet of Matzwitz. After 1.3 kilometers, turn right to stay on K26.
Go east 500 meters, then keep to the right at a three-way junction. Continue southeast 800 meters to the hamlet of Kembs.
At the only junction in Kembs, turn left. Continue east 2 kilometers and you will arrive in Behrensdorf, at which point you will be at the location where the blue, aqua and orange lines meet.
To park in Behrensdorf: (route continued in aqua)
Continue straight ahead. The road will become Strandstrasse, and after one kilometer it will end at a parking lot next to Camping Schuldt.
To park in Lippe: (route continued in orange)
When you reach Behrensdorf, turn right onto Alte Dorfstrasse, which is the continuation of K26. Go south 900 meters, then turn left onto Seekamp (K35). Follow Seekamp east 2.4 kilometers. When the road begins to make a long curve toward the right, turn left toward the Lippe parking lot. If you reach Campingplatz Sybergshof, you've missed the parking lot by about 700 meters.

Weissenhaus

Strand Weissenhaus
Strand Weissenhaus is a long, scenic beach that abuts two notable properties. The first is Village Schloss Weissenhaus, a historic estate with a stately manor house as its centerpiece. (The grounds are open to the public; the buildings are not.) The second is Weissenhäuser Strand Resort. (This resort and the adjacent campground are sizable entities that collectively span a distance of about one kilometer.) A 400-meter long stretch of beach between the estate and the resort is designated as FKK.
From the parking area at the rear of Village Schloss Weissenhaus, there is a path to the beach. Facing the sea, turn right and go east. Shortly you'll reach the start of the FKK area. If you keep going east all the way across the FKK zone, you'll reach a footbridge over a small canal at the point where the canal empties into the sea. Beyond the footbridge is the textile beach that abuts the resort. Showers and other amenities are available at the textile beach.
Wangels, Ostholstein, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

The closest significant town to Strand Weissenhaus is Oldenburg, which is often written as Oldenburg in Holstein or Oldenburg (Holstein) to distinguish is from a much larger town called Oldenburg that is located about 300 kilometers to the southeast. As you map your way to Oldenburg, remember you are looking for the Oldenbug that is in the state of Schleswig-Holstein.
Oldenburg lies along the A1 autobahn, and there are three exits for the town within a span of a few kilometers: Exit 9 (Nord), Exit 10 (Mitte) and Exit 11 (Süd). Take Exit 11(Süd), which is the southern of the three exits, then head west (toward Kiel, away from Oldenburg) on route B202.
After 7 kilometers on the B202, you will reach a right-hand turnoff toward Weissenhäuser Strand, which is the name not just of the beach but also of a very large beachfront resort. This turnoff is located at coordinates 54.2988, 10.7708 (Map It), where this placemark is pinpointed. The turnoff is at the edge of a historic estate called Village Schloss Weissenhaus. Note that on Google Earth and Google Maps, the locality of the estate is labeled "Weissenhaus," while the locality of the resort is labeled "Brök."
Turning toward Weissenhäuser Strand, follow the access road northeast about 600 meters, then turn left into the parking lot at the rear of Village Schloss Weissenhaus. There is a trail from the parking lot to the beach.

Wallnau

Strand Wallnau
Although Strandcamping Wallnau is a textile campground, the pebbly beach adjacent to it is divided into textile and FKK areas. A narrow channel of water that runs parallel to the coastline separates the camping area from the beach. Two footbridges across this channel provide access to the FKK zone.
If you are a day visitor, you can park in the pinpointed lot at the southern end of the campground. Follow the road that runs along the edge of the campground toward the beach and you will reach the southern of the two footbridges. It goes directly to the FKK area. The other footbridge is located about 300 meters to the north, and it leaves from within the camping area. If you cross this bridge, as you face the sea the FKK area will be to your left and the textile area to your right.
Wallnau is located on the western shore of Fehmarn, a large island that is connected to the mainland via a kilometer-long bridge.
Fehmarn, Ostholstein, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Fehmarn island is connected to the mainland via route B207, which crosses a kilometer-long bridge just beyond the small mainland town of Grossenbrode. About 5.8 kilometers after crossing the bridge onto the island, take the exit that is signed for Petersdorf, Landkirchen and Burg. This is the second exit of the B207 that you will reach on the island. (The first exit is also signed for Petersdorf and Lankirchen as well as for Avendorf.)
At the end of the exit ramp, turn left, cross over the B207, then follow route L209 west. Shortly you will pass though Landkirchen, and you will have to turn a few times to stay the course of L209. After Landkirchen, you will pass through or near the smaller villages of Altjellingsdorf, Lemkendorf and Peterdorf. At 8.8 kilometers after exiting the B207, you will reach this pinpointed location in Kopendorf, which is at coordinates 54.4767, 11.0567 (Map It).
At this point, turn right onto the minor, unnumbered road that goes toward Bojendorf. Follow this road north and west 2.7 kilometers.
At the edge of Bojendorf, take the first possible left. Follow this road west about 700 meters. There is a large parking lot on the left opposite the entrance to Strandcamping Wallnau.

Westermarkelsdorf

Strand Westermarkelsdorf
Westermarkelsdorf is a tiny village that is both the most northerly and the most remote village on the island of Fehmarn. The northwest-facing beach that is just north of Westermarkelsdorf is an undeveloped beach that is attended mainly by nude bathers.
Immediately west of Westermarkelsdorf, there is a parking lot next to the village textile beach. If you were to enter the beach at that access, the FKK area would be about a kilometer to the north (to the right when facing the sea). However, it is possible to take a shortcut to the FKK beach by parking instead next to the lighthouse and the weather station that are just north of the village. From the weather station, a path goes north along the edge of a lagoon. As you walk along this path toward the beach, the shoreline of the lagoon will be to your left. After about 400-500 meters, the path will emerge at the FKK area of the beach.
Strand Westermarkelsdorf is one of three established nude beaches on Fehmarn, a large island that is connected to the mainland via a kilometer-long bridge. The other two FKK beaches are both next to campgrounds. Compared to the other two beaches, Westermarkelsdorf provides a wilder and more remote FKK experience.

Fehmarn, Ostholstein, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Fehmarn island is connected to the mainland via route B207, which crosses a kilometer-long bridge just beyond the small mainland town of Grossenbrode. About 5.8 kilometers after crossing the bridge onto the island, take the exit that is signed for Petersdorf, Landkirchen and Burg. This is the second exit of the B207 that you will reach on the island. (The first exit is also signed for Petersdorf and Lankirchen as well as for Avendorf.)
At the end of the exit ramp, turn left, cross over the B207, then follow route L209 west. Shortly you will pass though Landkirchen, and you will have to turn a few times to stay the course of L209. After Landkirchen, you will pass through or near the smaller villages of Altjellingsdorf and Lemkendorf. At 8 kilometers after exiting the B207, you will reach the village of Peterdorf. Turn right onto Hauptstrasse, which is the main village thoroughfare. Follow Hauptstrasse about 200 meters, then turn left onto Schlagsdorfer Strasse, which is the street that runs immediately to the rear of the prominent village church.
Once you are on Schlagsdorfer Strasse, you will be heading north. After 2 kilometers, you will reach a three-way junction at the edge of the village of Schlagsdorf. Stay straight ahead.
Continue north another 2.6 kilometers and you will reach the edge of the village of Westermarkelsdorf, at coordinates 54.5192, 11.0548 (Map It), where this placemark in pinpointed.
When you reach this point, the road will fork. Stay to the right. As you continue north, the village will be to your left and open farmland will be to your right. After one kilometer, you will reach a lighthouse and a weather station that are very close together. Between these two structures, there are a small number of parking spaces, and streetside parking is also available. Behind the weather station, a trail skirts the edge of a lagoon and leads to the beach.

Wulfener Hals

Strand Wulfener Hals
Part of the beach at Camping Wulfener Hals extends eastward onto a hook-shaped peninsula. This peninsula is backed by a lagoon called Burger Binnensee. A small segment of the beach near the end of the peninsula is a designated FKK area.
The beach is available to the public, but day visitors must pay a fee to park at the campground. The parking lot is located at the entrance to the campground. After parking, walk straight ahead through the campground and you'll reach the shoreline after about 500 meters. Facing the sea, go to the left (east) about 400-500 meters to reach the FKK zone. En route, you'll cross a very narrow part of the peninsula, with the lagoon to your left and the open sea to your right. The FKK area begins just past the point where the peninsula begins to get wider near the mouth of the lagoon.
Wulfener Hals is located on the southern shore of Fehmarn, a large island that is connected to the mainland via a kilometer-long bridge.
Fehmarn, Ostholstein, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Fehmarn island is connected to the mainland via route B207, which crosses a kilometer-long bridge just beyond the small mainland town of Grossenbrode. About 2.5 kilometers after crossing the bridge onto the island, take the first exit of the B207, which is signed for Petersdorf, Landkirchen and Avendorf. The exit ramp is located at coordinates 54.4246, 11.1311 (Map It), where this placemark is pinpointed.
At the end of the exit ramp, turn right onto a minor road (K43) and follow it south for 1.1 kilometers.
In the village of Avendorf, veer left onto Am Reisediek (watch for signs to Wulfen).
Am Reisediek will almost immediate curve sharply to the left and begin to head east. Continue east/southeast along Am Reisediek another 1.5 kilometers and you'll arrive in the village of Wulfen.
After passing several buildings in the tiny village of Wulfen, the road will curve sharply to the left (north). Immediately beyond this curve, turn right onto Wulfener Hals-Weg. Follow this street southeast about one kilometer and you'll reach a parking lot at the entrance to Camping Wulfener Hals.

Rosenfelde

Strand Rosenfelde
The long beach that lies east of the inland village of Grube and north of the seaside village of Dahme is called Rosenfelder Strand. This beach is lined with multiple campgrounds. One of these campgrounds, FKK Camping Ostsee, is the largest of Germany's handful of coastal naturist camping establishments. The part of the beach that is adjacent to the FKK campground is FKK as well, and it is a public beach.
If you arrive as a day visitor, park in the pinpointed lot. This lot provides direct access to the far north end of the FKK zone. Facing the sea, turn to the right and the FKK extends southward a little over one kilometer. Guests of the FKK campground have quick access to the beach via several regularly spaced dune crossings, but clothing is necessary for crossing the public coastal road that runs between the campground and the beach.
Grube, Ostholstein, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

This placemark, at coordinates 54.2653, 11.0338 (Map It), is pinpointed at a crossroads along route B501. The turnoff toward the sea is signed for Rosenfelder Strand, while the inland turnoff is route L59 that goes through the hamlet of Augustenhof.
If you are heading north on B501, you'll reach this junction about 3.5 kilometers past the village of Grube. Turn right toward Rosenfelder Strand.
If you are heading south on B501, you'll reach this junction about 4.5 kilometers past the village of Heringsdorf. Turn left toward Rosenfelder Strand.
Follow the Rosenfelder Strand road east 2.5 kilometers and you'll pass through the tiny hamlet of Rosenfelde. Just beyond the hamlet, the road will begin to curve toward the right (southeast), and within a few hundred meters you will pass the entrance to a campground called Rosenfelder Strand Ostsee Camping. Continue 600 meters past the campground entrance and you will reach a parking lot for the FKK beach on the left (coast) side of the road. A smaller number of parking spaces are available on the inland side of the road.
A few hundred meters beyond the parking area, the road goes past the entrance to FKK Camping Ostsee. If you reach that point, you'll be driving alongside the FKK beach, but you've missed the public parking area.

Klosterseestrand

Klosterseestrand
Klosterseestrand refers to the undeveloped and generally uncrowded stretch of beach located on the northeastern side of the municipality of Grömitz, close to the neighboring municipality of Kellenhusen. The part of the beach closest to the pinpointed parking area tends to be all textile, except perhaps on particularly uncrowded days, but the areas on either side are frequented by nude bathers. Facing the sea, go to the left (northeast, toward Kellenhusen). Just past the outlet of a drainage canal, you'll reach a long and rather remote stretch of beach that is likely to be all nudist. Or, go to the right (southwest, toward Grömitz) and you'll also encounter nude bathers all the way to the next drainage outlet at Campingplatz Sonnenland.
A number of different names may be used to refer to this location: Grömitz, Lensterstrand, Campingplatz Sonnenland, Kellenhusen, Grönwohldshorst and Klosterseestrand. The FKK beach lies within the municipal borders of Grömitz. Lensterstrand is a subdivision of Grömitz that is the location of a cluster of large camping establishments, and it is closer to the FKK beach than is the town center of Grömitz. Campingplatz Sonnenland is located slightly farther afield that the other campgrounds of Lensterstrand, and the northeast end of Campingplatz Sonnenland abuts one of the FKK areas. Kellenhusen is the adjacent municipality to Grömitz, and it is just a one-kilometer walk to the FKK beach from the campground (Campingparadies Kellenhusen) that is on the southwest end of Kellenhusen. Grönwohldshorst is a village along route B501 near the turnoff to one of the routes to the beach. The road leading toward the beach is labeled Klosterseestrand.

This placemark, at coordinates 54.1693, 10.9742 (Map It), is pinpointed at the turnoff from route B501 onto Langenredder. This location is about 2.4 kilometers northeast of the town center of Grömitz (via the B501). Langenredder is the road that goes toward the hamlet of Lenste and the conglomeration of camping establishments called Lensterstrand.
To approach via Lensterstrand: (drawn in blue)
Assuming you are coming form Grömitz, turn right onto Langenredder and follow it toward the coast. After 2 kilometers, you will reach a "T" junction with Blankwasserweg, which is the street that follows the coastline.
Turn left onto Blankwasserweg and follow it northeast. After 1.3 kilometers, you will pass the end of the conglomeration of campgrounds that are all on the left (inland) side of the road. Continue straight ahead another 700 meters. The road will fork, with both forks continuing straight ahead as parallel roads. The right fork is the campers entrance to Campingplatz Sonnenland. Follow the left fork. After 400 meters, the road will curve sharply to the left. After the curve, the road will bend several times. After another kilometer, you will reach a "T" junction. Turn right and shortly you will reach a parking area next to the beach access.
To approach via Grönwohldshorst: (drawn in orange)
Assuming you are coming form Grömitz, continue northeast along B501, passing through the village of Cismar. After 4.5 kilometers (i.e., about 7 kilometers from Grömitz), turn right onto Strandweg (which is incorrectly labeled "Standweg" on Google Maps). This turnoff is at coordinates 54.1955, 11.0077 (Map It), at the edge of the village of Grönwohldshorst. (If you reach the village center, you've gone about a kilometer too far.)
Follow Strandweg southeast about 700 meters, then continue straight ahead as it merges into the Klostersee road. After another 100 meters, you'll reach a "T" junction. Turn left. From this point, the road will bend a few more times, but there are no more turns to make at junctions. Continue another 2.5 kilometers and you'll reach the parking area next to the beach access.

Scharbeutz-Timmendorf

Strand Scharbeutz-Timmendorf
The Bay of Lübeck (Lübecker Bucht) is a segment of the Baltic Sea, and along the western side of the bay there is a long beach that extends over 8 kilometers. This beach is divided between two municalities: Scharbeutz and Timmendorfer Strand. Both are popular beach resort towns.
There is a small section of the beach designated for FKK use. The FKK area lies at the far southern end of Scharbeutz, very close to the municipal border. The landmark for finding the FKK area is a large seaside swimming and sauna establishment called Ostsee Therme. The FKK area is next to the parking lot that abuts the north end of Ostsee Therme, and it is shielded from view of the parking lot by a small stretch of vegetation. The short FKK zone, which is signed, is located north of the prominent water slides of Ostsee Therme but south of a small beach grill. (Ostee Therme includes deluxe textile-free sauna facilities, and a perk for sauna guests is quick access to the FKK beach. Sauna guests typically walk to the FKK beach clad only in towels.)
Assume that your starting point is Exit 17 (Pansdorf) of the A1 autobahn, which is in the municipal border area of Scharbeutz and Timmendorfer Strand. From the exit, follow route L102 northeast toward Scharbeutz. After 2.4 kilometers, a bit past the railway, you will reach a roundabout. Take the first exit of the roundabout and go south (toward Timmendorfer Strand) on route B76. After 2 kilometers, you will reach a parking lot on your left that is next to the beach. This lot, which is at coordinates 54.0129, 10.7684 (Map It), abuts the north side of Ostsee Therme The parking lot is just steps from the FKK beach. If you need to orient yourself, just watch for the looping green and blue water slides that are part of Ostsee Therme. Facing the sea, the FKK zone is just to the left of the water slides, behind a wooden fence.

Priwall

Strand Priwall
The Baltic Sea resort town of Travemünde is a borough of Lübeck, which is the second largest city in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. Travemünde is located at the mouth of the large Bay of Lübeck (Lübecker Bucht). The main part of Travemünde is on the north and west side of the mouth of the bay. To the south and east of the mouth of the bay is a land mass called the Priwall peninsula, which is still considered part of Travemünde. Priwall is the easternmost coastal part of Schleswig-Holstein. The expansive, sandy beach extends about a kilometer within Schleswig-Holstein and then continues into the neighboring state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. (The state line is pinpointed.) The easternmost part of the beach that is within Schleswig-Holstein is designated for FKK use. As you walk east along the beach (to the right when facing the sea), the sign announcing the end of the FKK area is located just before the state line.
The border of Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was once also the boundary between West Germany and East Germany. Before reunification, a fence delineated not only the end of the nude beach but the end of a freedoms of the West. Today, the fence is gone and visitors can stroll naked across the physical manifestation of a bygone ideological divide.
Travemünde, Lübeck, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

This placemark pertains to Strand Priwall.

The Baltic Sea resort town of Travemünde is a borough of Lübeck, which is the second largest city in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. The mouth of the Bay of Lübeck divides the main part of Travemünde from the Priwall peninsula. There is no bridge, but there is an automobile ferry. The street Gneversdorfer Weg (K20) leads to the Travemünde-Priwall ferry crossing. This placemark, at coordinates 53.9556, 10.8675 (Map It), is pinpointed at the Travemünde side of the ferry crossing.
After crossing, continue east. The road will be named Mecklenburger Landstrasse (K3). After 2 kilometers, there is a large parking lot on the right (south) side of the road. If you cross the state line into Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, you'll just missed the parking lot.
After parking, cross the street and you will be facing a grid of houses. Follow the short street that skirts the eastern edge of this grid (i.e., the furthest to your right when facing the sea) and shortly you'll arrive directly at the nude area of the beach.

Hetlinger Schanze

Hetlinger Schanze
Hetlinger Schanze is a sandy riverbank beach on the east bank of the Elbe near the village of Hetlingen. The beach is about 25 kilometers downstream from (i.e., northwest of) Hamburg. Hetlinger Schanze spans about two kilometers. Landmarks that help define the lay of the land are a small marina and two power-line towers. The marina lies roughly at the center of the beach, dividing it into two segments. Among the many massive red-and-white power-line towers in the vicinity, two of them are on the beach.
If you are standing at the marina facing the river, to your right is the northern segment of the beach. This segment spans about 1.2 kilometers, starting at the marina and ending at a power-line tower. This northern area is textile.
To the left from the marina is the the southern segment of the beach, which spans about 800 meters. Just south of the marina, directly on the southern segment of the beach, is the other of the two power-line towers. An unofficial but freely tolerated FKK area begins a little beyond the tower. Near the tower, there are two cement block that are supports for a river traffic sign. One of these blocks has "FKK" painted on it.
The area around Hetlinger Schanze is a curious blend of industrial, recreational and pastoral. The Elbe is a major shipping channel that connects the powerhouse city of Hamburg to the North Sea, so there are many huge cargo ships. The river is also full of small pleasure vessels like sailboats. Along the riverbank, there are green pastures, and you may encounter a herd of sheep as you go to and from the beach. Between Hamburg and the North Sea, the Elbe is also a state line. As you look across the river, the land on the other side is in the neighboring state of Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony).
Hetlingen, Pinneberg, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Holm, Pinneberg, Germany
Holm is a town within the district of Pinneberg. When you search for Holm, be sure to qualify it with the district name since there are two towns called Holm in Germany, and they are both in the same state (Schleswig-Holstein).
Holm is located along route B431, about 25 kilometers west-northwest of the city center of Hamburg and 5 kilometers northwest of Wedel. In the center of Holm, turn onto L261 toward Hetlingen (a left turn if you approach from Wedel).
Follow L261 southwest about 3 kilometers. Just after you reach the first houses in Hetlingen, L261 will make a sharp curve to the right. About 100 meters past the curve, turn left at a sign indicating Hetlinger Schanze.
Follow the Hetlinger Schanze road southwest about 750 meters, at which point the main course of the road will curve sharply to the right next to the water treatment plant. At this point, there are two parking and access options.
Parking Option 1: (continued in aqua)
Do NOT follow the sharp right curve. Continue straight ahead and park as far as possible along the road. After you park, the beach will be toward your right. Look for the prominent red-and-white power-line tower and walk in that direction. You'll go through a few sheep gates and cross over a grassy embankment to get to the beach.
Parking Option 2: (continued in orange)
Follow the sharp right curve. You'll be continuing along the Hetlinger Schanze road, going northwest and passing in front of the water treatment plant. After 1.3 kilometers, you'll pass by a prominent red-and-white power-line tower (NOT the same one mentioned under "Parking Option 1"). A few hundred meters beyond the tower, the road will curve toward the left. Just beyond the curve, there is a long row of parking spaces along the road. Park as far along as possible. Once you park, look for the nearest power-line tower along the river and head in that direction. (The tower you are looking for is NOT the one you just passed on the road, but it is the same one mentioned under "Parking Option 1.") As you near the river, you'll see the small marina that divides the beach into two segments.

Dietenbachsee & Flückiger See

Dietenbachsee
In the extreme southwest of Germany, the small city of Freiburg im Breisgau is a hub at the southern end of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) tourist region. There are two lakes toward the western side of the city, both within five kilometers of the city center, where a custom of nude bathing has developed. Nudity is tolerated at both locations even though neither is officially designated as FKK. This placemark pinpoints the FKK area of Dietenbachsee. (Another placemark pinpoints the FKK area of Flückiger See.)
Dietenbachsee is a small lake in a park called Dietenbachpark. The grassy lakeshore meadow is popular with sunbathers, and part of the meadow is frequented by nudists. From the pinpointed parking lot, keep straight ahead on the broad walking path and you'll skirt the east side of the lake, passing the main textile area. Just after the walking path curves toward the left (following the lakeshore), you'll reach the FKK area near the northeast corner of the lake. There are a few trees that partially screen the FKK area from the walking path.

Flückiger See
In the extreme southwest of Germany, the small city of Freiburg im Breisgau is a hub at the southern end of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) tourist region. There are two lakes toward the western side of the city, both within five kilometers of the city center, where a custom of nude bathing has developed. Nudity is tolerated at both locations even though neither is officially designated as FKK. This placemark pinpoints the FKK area of Flückiger See. (Another placemark pinpoints the FKK area of Dietenbachsee.)
Flückiger See is a oblong lake surrounded by an urban park called Seepark. Nude bathers gather on the grassy north shore lawn that roughly corresponds to the sports field. From wherever you enter Seepark, a wooden watchtower next to the sports field is a prominent landmark for finding the informal FKK area. In the area in front of the sports field, small hillocks rise up from the shoreline. Nudity tends to occur only immediately next to the shoreline, at the base of these hillocks. The sloping terrain provides a very slight degree of seclusion from the lakeshore walkway, although nudists are still visible to passersby. Being naked close to the walkway is probably a breach of the accepted protocol. Some visitors climb down the low embankment to swim in the lake.
Dietenbachsee, which is 1.5 kilometers to the southwest (as the crow flies), is a somewhat more secluded alternative to Flückiger See.

Nimburger Baggersee

Nimburger Baggersee
Nimburger Baggersee is a small recreation lake in the far southwest of Germany, about 20 kilometers east of France and 75 kilometers north of Switzerland. While the lake does not have a sandy beach, there are grassy lawns for sunbathing. The lawn at the south end of the lake next to the parking lot is textile. A secluded lawn on the east shore of the lake is frequented by nudists.
Nimburger Baggersee is just a 15-minute drive north from Freiburg im Breisgau, a historic town that is a tourist hub of the Black Forest (in German, Schwarzwald) region. The lake is very easy to access, being just off the autobahn and requiring just a short hike. The embankment on the east side of the lake blocks out most of the traffic noise.

When you reach a fence across the trail that blocks further access, look to your left through the trees and you'll see a narrow lawn by the lake. This is the nude beach.
The walk from the parking lot takes less than 10 minutes.
This placemark pertains to Nimburger Baggersee.

Riedseen

Riedseen
The Riedseen are a cluster of small lakes that are baggerseen—that is, flooded gravel pits. One of the lakes has been developed into a recreation area with a campground and a textile beach. A short stretch of forest separates this lake from another much smaller and more secluded lake that is visited by nudists.
The FKK lake is roughly square shaped, and each side is under 200 meters long, so you can walk around the perimeter in about 10 minutes. There are grassy meadows along the north and east sides.
Be sure not to be naked away from the FKK lake. In the mid 00's, the visibility of nudists in other areas of the Riedseen generated complaints that led to an effort to ban nudity, which the town council narrowly rejected.
Donaueschingen, Schwarzwald-Baar, Freiburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

This pinpointed interchange is the Donaueschingen-Mitte/Pfohren/Aasen exit of route B27/B33. This exit is just east of Donaueschingen, which is one of the larger towns in the southern Black Forest.

Inselbad Untertürkheim

Inselbad Untertürkheim
Inselbad Untertürkheim is a public outdoor swimming complex (i.e., a Freibad) located toward the eastern edge of the city of Stuttgart. This complex is situated on a narrow island of the river Neckar. There are a number of swimming complexes in Germany that have designated nude sunbathing areas, but Inselbad Untertürkheim is one of just a very small number that have a pool designated for nude swimming.
After passing through the entry (where a fee of €3.90 per person is collected), several textile pools extend straight ahead. The enclosed FKK area is to your right. It is a self-contained area in a courtyard setting, with its own pool, lounge chairs, restrooms and showers as well as a small sunbathing lawn. All other areas of the complex are textile. Inselbad Untertürkheim is open from early May through early September.
Inselbad 4, 70327 Stuttgart, Germany
This is the exact street address of Inselbad Untertürkheim. It is about 6 to 7 kilometers east of the center of Stuttgart in the borough of Untertürkheim, and the parking lot is on the east side of a bridge called Untertürkheim Brücke.

Katzenbachsee

Katzenbachsee
Katzenbachsee is a small, roughly rectangular recreation lake that is about 250 meters long and 150 meters wide and mostly encircled by dense growths of trees. The lake is in a hilly, pastoral region of northern Baden-Württemberg that is designated as Naturpark-Stromberg-Heuchelberg, which is a large-scale preserve that encompasses a number of villages. The closest major town, Heilbronn, is 25 kilometers to the northeast of the lake.
Katzenbachsee is popular with nudists and textiles, who occupy different parts of the lake even though textiles are likely to pass by nudists along the lake's perimeter trail. The meadow on the west side of the lake, where a food concession is located, is by custom textile only. The meadow on the south shore of the lake (where this placemark is pinpointed) is nudist.
Nudists also gather on the north shore of the lake, where there is a narrow band of flat land along the lake shore. This shore is just downhill from the perimeter trail, but a stretch of vegetation provides some seclusion from passersby. There is a staircase from the trail to the shoreline.
Katzenbachsee is alternately known as Katzenbachstausee (stausee = reservoir) and Katzenbachsee bei Zaberfeld (to distinguish is from another lake of the same name in Stuttgart).
This webpage, which is part of a personal website, has detailed information (in German) about the lake along with a number of photos.

Plüderhausen Badesee

Plüderhausen Badesee
About 40 kilometers east of Stuttgart, Plüderhausen Badesee is a small recreation lake at the eastern edge of the town of Plüderhausen (close to Waldhausen, the next town going east). There is a small per-vehicle fee for parking, but otherwise there is no entrance fee. The entry to the lake is at its west end, where there is a café and a small sandy beach area that is the main gathering place for textiles. From the west end of the lake, a path goes east through a meadow across the north shore of the lake. Nude bathing is allowed, but there are no definitive boundaries of an FKK area, so the crowd tends to be a mix of clad and unclad. Nudity tends to become more common toward the east end of the north shore, a few hundred meters from the main textile area.

Birkensee

Birkensee
Birkensee is a small lake that is a bit less than 500 meters in length. About 15 kilometers east of the center of Nürnberg, this is the city's preeminent FKK recreation area. Nudity is practiced along the entirety of the lake. There are sandy and grassy areas for sunbathing on the north, south and east shores. The west shore has reedy areas and is not as easy to access. You can explore the entire circumference of the lake in a loop hike of 1.5 kilometers (see the green line).

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 87 (Nürnberg-Mögeldorf) of the A3 autobahn. This exit is 8 kilometers directly east of the center of Nürnberg on the outskirts of the city.
If you are heading northwest (toward Würzburg and Frankfurt am Main) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 49.4693, 11.1867 (Map It). At the end of the exit ramp, turn left (away from Nürnberg) onto Nürnberger Strasse (St2241).
If you are heading southeast (toward Austria) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 49.4717, 11.1832 (Map It). At the end of the exit ramp, turn left (away from Nürnberg) onto Nürnberger Strasse (St2241).
Follow St2241 east (toward Röthenbach an der Pegnitz). After about 1.4 kilometers, stay in the right lane to exit towards Diepersdorf. At the end of the exit lane, turn right onto Diepersdorfer Strasse (LAU15).
Follow LAU15 southeast. After 3.5 kilometers, you will go under the A9 autobahn (but there is no access to the autobahn).
After the underpass, continue along LAU15 (a.k.a. Schwaigerstrasse at this point) another 700 meters, then turn right onto a paved road at a sign reading "Sandgrube Adler." This is the first possible right turn after the A9 underpass.
Just after turning, bear right into a parking lot. There is a sign restricting automobile access along the continuation of the road, which is the start of your walking route to Birkensee.
This placemark pertains to Birkensee.

There are no signs for Birkensee at the parking lot. Look for a sign that says "Sandgrube Adler" to know you are in the right place.
This placemark pertains to Birkensee.

When you pull into the parking lot, there is a paved road that heads south. Be sure to note that this road is off limits to motorized vehicles. Walk along the road for a few minutes, then take the first side trail to the right. This broad trail takes you to the north shore of Birkensee. The total hike takes about 10 minutes.
This placemark pertains to Birkensee.

This interchange is the junction of autobahns A3 and A9. Although this junction is very close to Birkensee, there is no direct access.

Kleiner Brombachsee

Kleiner Brombachsee
Brombachsee is a lake in central Bavaria, about 50 kilometers southwest of Nürnberg. The lake is divided into two sections by the pinpointed causeway. To the east of the causeway is Grosser Brombachsee (grosser = larger). To the west of the causeway is Kleiner Brombachsee (kleiner = smaller).
On the north shore of Kleiner Brombachsee, just west of the causeway, is a small beach that is a signed and designated FKK area. The beach is about 80 meters long and consists of a grassy lawn and a band of thick sand at the waterline. Access is exceptionally easy. After parking, you literally walk a few paces through the trees that shield the beach from the road, then you are there.
Absberg, Weissenburg-Gunzenhausen, Mittelfranken, Bayern, Germany

Absberg, Germany
Absberg is a small village near the northwest shore of a lake called Brobachsee. Absberg is about 50 kilometers southwest of Nürnberg. The quickest access from Nürnberg involves taking Exit 55 (Schwabach-West) of the A6 autobahn, going south on route B466 for 23 kilometers, then following a minor local road (WUG1) east about 7 kilometers to Absberg.
Assume that you are heading east into Absberg (i.e., coming from B466). When you reach the village center, the road will fork. Stay to the right and you'll be at the start of Ritter-Konrad-Strasse.
Follow Ritter-Konrad-Strasse southeast just 150 meters, then bear right at the first opportunity onto Sommerkellerweg. This is a very narrow street that goes downhill toward the lake.
Follow Sommerkellerweg (which becomes Seespitz) southeast about 800 meters, where there are pull-in parking spaces along both sides of the road at the entrance to the beach (small "FKK Badestrand" signs will let you know you've found the right place). There is a parking fee. A single coin-fed meter for the entire parking area dispenses receipts to display on your dashboard.
If you reach the right-hand turnoff toward the long causeway that spans the lake, you've missed the parking area by about 200 meters.

Parkstetten Weiher 12

Parkstetten Weiher 12
Parkstetten is a small town located just north of the much larger town of Straubing. Parkstetten lies within the Bavarian Forest Nature Park (Naturpark Bayerischer Wald), a large forest area in far eastern Bavaria that extends all the way to the Czech Republic. There is a collection of many ponds in Parkstetten that have been developed into recreation areas, and each pond is assigned a number. ("Pond" = Weiher) There is a designated FKK beach toward the northern part of the western shore of Weiher 12. This area is managed by a naturist association FKK Verein Straubing, but it is open to the public free of charge. Regular visitors are encouraged to join the naturist association to provide for upkeep of the FKK area, which includes a sandy beach, a manicured lawn and toilet facilities. Nudity is obligatory in the FKK area.

Mammingerschwaigen Baggersee

Mammingerschwaigen Baggerseen
The Mammingerschwaigen Baggerseen are a collection of small lakes near the villages of Mammingerschwaigen and Rosenau (both of which are part of the municipality of Mamming). The north shore of one of the lakes, which is very close to (but not visible from) the autobahn, has long been frequented by nudists. In 2006, a naturist group based in nearby Dingolfing began administering and developing the FKK area, which is next to the very narrow isthmus that spans the lake. There is now a sandy beach and volleyball area next to the grassy lawn, along with picnic tables, sanitary facilities and a floating dock in the water. The FKK area is open to the public at no charge. A policy of the naturist group stipulates that all visitors must be nude, with exceptions made for children (under 16).

This pinpointed interchange within the municipal limits of Pilsting is Exit 18 (Pilsting-Grossköllnbach) of the A92 autobahn. This location, not especially close to any well-known towns, is about 40 kilometers northeast of Landhut and about 30 kilometers southwest of the A92/A3 junction (near Deggendorf).
If you are heading east (toward the Czech Republic) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 48.6809, 12.6038 (Map It). Turn right at the end of the exit ramp.
If you are heading west (toward Munich) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 48.6829, 12.6140 (Map It). Turn left at the end of the exit ramp and cross over the autobahn.
Once you have exited, you will be heading south on St2115 (signs point toward Landau an der Isar, Harburg, Pilsting, Reisbach and Mamming). After 1.2 kilometers, at the first 4-way intersection, turn right onto St2074.
Follow St2074 west for 2.6 kilometers to Mammingerschwaigen, then turn right onto Tödinger Strasse. (This turnoff is opposite the turnoff toward Mamming).
Just after turning onto Tödinger Strasse, keep to the left to stay on Tödinger Strasse, then follow the street northwest. After 900 meters, you will reach a business called Zum Seewirt, which is a guesthouse, restaurant and campground. Zum Seewirt is situated between two lakes. As you approach Zum Seewirt, the lake on which the FKK area is located is to your right, and the FKK area is on the opposite shore of the lake, a walk of about 800 meters from Zum Seewirt.
There is a parking lot next to Zum Seewirt that is the closest formal parking area to the FKK part of the lake. Alternatively, you can continue straight ahead. You will be going toward an overpass of the autobahn. Immediately past the campground, turn right onto a dirt track. This track curves around the northwest shoreline of the lake. After following the track about 600-700 meters, you can park next to the FKK area.

Birkensee, Langwieder Seen

Birkensee, Langwieder Seen
Langwieder Seen is the collective name of three lakes that comprise a popular urban recreation area ("seen" is the plural of "see," the word for lake). This area is in the far northwest of Munich.
When you enter the large parking lot, you'll be next to the large textile beach along Luss See, which is the middle of the three lake. To the south is Langwieder See, where there is a large hotel. A few hundred meters north of the parking lot is Birkensee, which is the smallest of the lakes. This lake is designated for FKK use. Most nudists gather on the north shore of the lake, which abuts the autobahn (so there is some background noise). The nude area is a short walk from the amenities of the other lakes, which include restrooms, showers, food concessions and a restaurant.
The closest S-bahn station is Lochhausen, which is along line S4 at coordinates 48.1771, 11.4065 (Map It). From there, it is a walk of nearly 3 kilometers north along Eschenrieder Strasse to reach the Langwieder Seen.
Note: The district boundary of the Munich urban district and Dachau runs straight through the Langwieder Seen. Birkensee is actually entirely within Dachau, while the other two lakes are within Munich.
Bergkirchen, Dachau, Oberbayern, Bayern, Germany

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 80 (München-Langwied) of the A8 autobahn. This location is within Munich but close to the border of the Munich urban district, about 17 kilometers northwest of the city center.
If you are coming from Munich and are on the A8 from its beginning (heading northwest out of the city toward Augsburg), you'll reach Exit 80 after 4.5 kilometers. Exit 80 is the second exit of the autobahn (the first begin the interchange with A99). The exit ramp is at coordinates 48.1955, 11.4112 (Map It). About 250 meters after you leave the autobahn, stay straight ahead to merge into Kreuzkapellenstrasse. Just 100 meters farther along, turn left into the huge parking lot. This route is drawn in blue.
If you are heading toward Munich, Exit 80 is the next exit after the interchange of A8 and a connector spur of A99. The exit ramp is at coordinates 48.1961, 11.4098 (Map It). When you reach the fork near the end of the exit ramp, stay to the right, merge into Eschenrieder Strasse and cross over the autobahn. Continue a few hundred meters to the first intersection, then turn right onto Kreuzkapellenstrasse. Go east about 200 meters, then turn left into the huge parking lot. This route is drawn in orange.
Once you've entered the parking lot, which is 300 meters long, drive all the way across and park as close as possible to the far (north) end.

Feldmochinger See

Feldmochinger See
Feldmochinger See, located about 14 kilometers northwest of the city center of Munich in the borough of Feldmoching, is close to the edge of the city limits. It is the largest lake that is located within the city limits of Munich. The lake is about 750 meters long and 250 meters wide, and there is a large, designated FKK meadow at the southwestern shore. There is a small café as well as a restaurant across the lake along the north shore.
S-bahn/U-bahn station Feldmoching (lines S1 and U2), at coordinates 48.2136, 11.5413 (Map It), is about 3 kilometers away from the FKK area of the lake. From the S-bahn/U-bahn station, you can board bus 172 (toward Karlsfeld). Get off at stop Feldmochinger See at the north end of the lake, at coordinates 48.2183,11.5177 (Map It).

The A99 autobahn is a partial ring road that circles about two thirds of Munich. (It does not exist in the southwestern part of the city.) This pinpointed interchange is Exit 10 (München-Ludwigsfeld) of the A99 in the northwestern part of the city (about 13 kilometers from the city center). This exit is along the part of the A99 that is between the junctions with the A8 and the A92.
If you are heading west (toward the A8) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 48.2097, 11.4909 (Map It). At the end of the exit ramp, turn right onto route B304.
If you are heading east (toward the A92) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 48.2094, 11.4805 (Map It). At the end of the exit ramp, turn leftt onto route B304 and cross over the autobahn.
Once you are on the B304, you will be going north toward Dachau. After just 150 meters, you'll reach a right-hand turnoff onto Auf den Schrederwiesen (toward Ludwigsfeld). Do NOT turn. Continue along N304 just 100 meters farther, then take the next right turn onto Kristallstrasse.
Follow Kristallstrasse east about 150 meters, then keep sharply to the left to stay on Kristallstrasse. Continue north 400 meters to a "T" junction.
Turn right onto Karlsfelder Strasse. (You'll be going southeast.) After 1.3 kilometers, Karlsfelder Strasse will cross over the A99 autobahn. Take note of your distance at this point. Continue along Karlsfelder Strasse another 550 meters, then turn right onto an access road that goes toward Feldmochinger See.
Once you have turned, you will be on a road that is essentially a very long parking lot, with parking spaces on one or both sides along much of its length. To get close to the FKK area, go about 400 meters before you park. The "P" parking placemark is pinpointed next to one of several access trails that go toward the lake. The blue line shows the continuation of the parking road. There is a parking fee of a few euros.
Note: If you follow the directions above but reach the point where Karlsfelder Strasse crosses a small canal, you've just missed the turnoff for the parking road. Just beyond the canal is a huge parking lot that is the main parking area for Feldmochinger See (shaded in orange).
This placemark pertains to Feldmochinger See.

The area shaded in orange is a huge parking lot at the north end of Feldmochinger See, but this is not the closest parking to the FKK area.

Feringasee

Feringasee
Feringasee is a small recreation lake in Unterföhring, about 11 kilometers northeast of the city center of Munich. The peninsula that juts into the south end of the lake is an FKK area. The grassy lawn is covered with hundreds of naked bathers on warm summer weekends, with much sparser attendance at other times. This site is very easily reached by car, but it is a walk of about 1.5 kilometers (about 20 minutes) to the nearest S-bahn station. There are toilets, food concessions and a biergarten around the lake.
Unterföhring, München, Oberbayern, Bayern, Germany

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 14 (Aschheim/Ismaning) of the A99 autobahn. The A99 is a relatively short autobahn that is a partial ring road around Munich (it does not go around the southwestern side of the city). Exit 14 is located in Aschheim in the northeastern outskirts of Munich.
If you are heading northwest (toward the A9) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 48.1898, 11.7075 (Map It). At the end of the exit ramp, turn right onto route B471 (Ismaninger Strasse). Follow B471 north (toward Ismaning) for 500 meters, than take the first possible left onto M3.
If you are heading southeast (toward the A94) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 48.1901, 11.7053 (Map It). At the end of the exit ramp, turn right onto route B471 (Ismaninger Strasse). Follow B471 north (toward Ismaning) for one kilometer (you'll cross over the autobahn), than take the first possible left onto M3.
Once you have turned onto M3, follow this road south and west (toward Unterföhring) for 3.2 kilometers, the turn right onto Erlbachstrasse. (If you reach a roundabout, you've missed the Erlbachstrasse turnoff by 1.3 kilometers.)
Follow Erlbachstrasse north for 900 meters to four-way intersection. At that point, there is a large parking lot on the northwest corner of the intersection, or you can turn left and go east about 600 meters to another parking lot closer to the FKK area of the lake.

Flaucher, River Isar

Flaucher, River Isar
Flaucher is an island in the river Isar in the southern part of Munich, about 600 meters north of the Munich zoo (Tierpark Hellabrunn). Although nude bathing occurs at various pockets along the Isar throughout Munich, Flaucher seems to be the most popular of these riverbank areas. Nude bathers on the pebbly island "beach" are visible to strollers along the east bank of the river. There is a biergarten nearby on the west bank of the river and several food concessions along the riverside trails.

Grosshesseloher Brücke, River Isar

Grosshesseloher Brücke, River Isar
Grosshesseloher Brücke is a high-span bridge over the river Isar that is located in Pullach, about 9 kilometers south of the city center of Munich. This double-decker bridge, 325 meters north of (upstream from) a small dam that spans the river, does not carry automobile traffic. The top deck is for trains. The lower deck is for pedestrians and cyclists.
The area around Grosshesseloher Brücke is very popular with nudists, and it is the southernmost major FKK area within metropolitan Munich. The stretch between the bridge and the dam (i.e., the south side of the bridge) draws the highest concentration of nude bathers, who gather on both banks of the river. However, there are also more scattered nude bathers on the north side of the bridge as well. If you are on one bank of the river and decide you'd rather be on the other side, the quickest way to get there is to wade across. Most of the time the water is shallow, and the distance from one bank to the other is under 50 meters. Otherwise, you have to go across Grosshesseloher Brücke, which involves a rather circuitous hike of nearly one kilometer.
If you need a refresher, there is a biergarten (pinpointed) on the west side of the canal that runs parallel to the river (quickly accessed from the west bank of the river; not so much from the east bank).

Obere Isarau

Obere Isarau
This hidden and little-known FKK area is located in a greenbelt area of the river Isar called Obere Isarau. It is a bit north of the northern boundary of the English Garden in Friemann, a neighborhood of northern Munich. Although it is very close to the river Isar (on the west bank), the nude area is not actually on the riverfront but rather is sheltered in the forest. Nude sunbathers are scattered in small meadows among the trees. This site seems to be an all gay venue, and it is well off the beaten path compared to Munich's other urban FKK venues.

Follow the gravel road north about 600 meters, then turn right (east) onto a prominent side trail and go about 150 meters.
When you reach the prominent power lines that intersect the trail overhead, turn left (north) and walk for just a minute of so, then bear right into the woods on any number of side trails.
The total walk from the U-bahn station is about 2 kilometers.

When you reach this point, where power lines run north-south through a clearing in the woods, you'll reach the nudist area by walking a few minutes north and east through a maze of small trails.

The campus of buildings in this area are part of a broadcasting company called Bayerischer Rundfunk.

Schönfeldwiese, Englischer Garten

Schönfeldwiese, Englischer Garten
The English Garden is one of the largest urban parks in the world. The park begins just northeast of Munich's city center and extends north for several kilometers along the west bank of the river Isar. Although quite long (north-south), the width of the park (east-west) ranges from about 500 to 1,000 meters.
The English Garden is quite famous for its custom of nude sunbathing, which dates back to the 60's. Although there are a few areas in the park where nude bathing occurs, the best known by far is Schönfeldwiese. When tourists stroll into the park to have a look at the naked people, this is where they go.
Schönfeldwiese is located at the far southern end of the park. It's the large open area just north of Haus der Kunst (a museum), and a stream called Schwabinger Bach bisects it. (See the two pinpointed footbridges over the stream.) By custom, nude bathing occurs on the west side of the stream, while the east side is textile. Some brave skinnydippers plunge into the stream, which is quite cold. The oblong track (see the red line), which spans about 350 meters from north to south, is a good aerial indicator of the scope of the FKK area (but in reality this track is too big to be perceived as a loop if you're standing in the middle of it).
Schönfeldwiese is Munich's most popular and centrally located FKK zone. The walk form Marienplatz (the city center) is just 1.5 kilometers. Such proximity to Munich's tourist center makes the naked bodies at Schönfeldwiese a bit of a tourist attraction as well. Be aware that Munich has many other public FKK areas that are off the radar of curious tourists.

Schwabinger Bucht, Englischer Garten
Schwabinger Bucht is a meadow located in the northern part of the English Garden, which is Munich's huge city park. Nude bathing is very common at this meadow, which lies in a bend of a stream called Schwabinger Bach. This FKK area is located close to a student housing complex called Studentenstadt, and is very easy to reach by U-bahn—a ride of just a few minutes from the city center.
Schwabinger Bucht is located 4.3 kilometers north (as the crow flies) of Schönfeldwiese, which is another FKK at the far southern end of the park. Unlike Schönfeldwiese (which is very near the city center), Schwabinger Bucht is off the tourist beat. The number of nudists at Schwabinger Bucht is much smaller than the number at Schönfeldwiese. There are also far fewer curious onlookers.

Eibsee

Eibsee
Eibsee is a beautiful Alpine lake that is dramatically situated at the foot of the Zugspitze, which is the highest mountain in Germany. Eibsee is entirely within Germany but just north of the border of Austria.
There is a hidden, informal FKK area about halfway across the north shore of Eibsee. A bit off the beaten path, with no signs indicating the way, it draws a small number of nudists in the know. There is not a proper beach. As you approach the FKK stretch of shoreline, you will be uphill in a forested area. There are a number of trails leading downhill to the lakeshore. Along the lakeshore, there are a number of low, semi-circular stone walls that enclosed flat sunbathing platforms. You can see from uphill which ones are free and which are occupied, and most sunbathers you see are like to be naked. The red line roughly delineates the stretch of shoreline where these platforms are located. Sunbathers are rewarded with a spectacular view across the lake of the glacier-capped mountain.
When you visit for the first time, you'll probably want to work in an excursion to the top of the mountain (see more information here). There is an aerial tramway (Eibsee-Seilbahn) that goes all the way to the top from the lake level, or you can take the cog railway (Zahnradbahn) partway up, then take the shorter aerial tramway (Gletscherbahn) the rest of the way. Consider a morning trip to the peak to beat the crowds followed by an afternoon of nude sunbathing, looking at the peak from the lake.
Grainau, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Oberbayern, Bayern, Germany

This pinpointed location, at coordinates 47.4809, 11.0460 (Map It), is the turnoff from route B23 toward Zugspitze, just west of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. This turnoff is well signed since the Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany, is a very popular tourist attraction. Watch for signs indicating Zugspitzbahn (the cog railway that goes partway up the mountain) and Eibsee-Seilbahn (the aerial tram that goes to the peak).
If you are approaching from within Germany, you will pass through Garmisch-Partenkirchen on B23. Heading southwest on B23 toward Austria, the Zuspitze turnoff is on the left, just past the Garmisch-Partenkirchen town limit. If you are approaching from Austria, the Zugspitze turnoff is on the right, 9.6 kilometers after you enter Germany. (German route B23 is a continuation of Austrian route B187.)
Once you turn, you will be on route St2061, which begins as Loisachsstrasse but changes names to Eibseestrasse as you pass through the village of Grainau. There are no turns to make. Follow the road all the way to the end at Eibsee Hotel—a distance of about 5.8 kilometers.
The parking lots next to Eibsee Hotel are just past the lots that are closest to the the cog railway and aerial tram. All the lots are connected. The trail to the FKK area begins next to the hotel.
This placemark pertains to Eibsee.

This placemark pertains to Eibsee.

The trail that follows the north lakeshore of Eibsee begins at the parking lot just east of Eibsee Hotel.
Follow the trail north for just a few minutes, then turn left and cross the footbridge that separates Eibsee from a smaller body of water (Untersee).
Continue along the broad bicycle path about 10 more minutes. As a landmark to let you know you are getting close, look to your right for a sign reading "Geo 11 Steingring Forstamtsseale" which overlooks a small backwater pond.
Shortly past this sign, the trail forks. Bear left. Almost immediately you will see a park bench and garbage containers on your left.
Turn left onto a small trail behind the park bench, then almost immediately begin to bear right toward the lake. (The trails become a maze at this point, but you're almost there when you reach the park bench, so you won't get lost.) If you find yourself atop a small bluff looking down over a series of semi-circular rock structures next to the lakeshore, you've found the nude area. Descend to lake level.
The total hike is just under 2 kilometers.

Fohnsee & Ostersee

Fohnsee
The Osterseen are a cluster of small lakes located north of Iffeldorf, extending toward Seeshaupt. These lake are surrounded by the foothills of the Alps. Fohnsee is located approximately in the middle of this cluster. The south end of Fohnsee has two nearby meadows that are popular with sunbathers. A prominent bay at the south end of the lake separates the two areas. The meadow on the east side of the bay is textile. The meadow on the west side of the bay is nudist.
The grassy FKK meadow slopes down the hillside to the lakeshore, with sunbathers clustering at the top of the hill and at the bottom of the hill next to the water. The shallow water, which has a picturesque turquoise hue, is great for swimming, wading and rafting, and there may be upwards of 100 nudists here on peak summer weekends.
The FKK meadow of Fohnsee can be access from two parking lots. You can either park at the textile meadow and hike around the bay, or you can park at the west end of Iffeldorf, which requires a hike that is just a few hundred meters longer.
There is another FKK meadow a few kilometers to the north, on the northeastern side of Grosser Ostersee. It tends not to be quite as popular as Fohnsee.
Iffeldorf, Weilheim-Schongau, Oberbayern, Bayern, Germany
There are 11 placemarks related to these nearby sites: Grosser Ostersee and Fohnsee.

Grosser Ostersee
The Osterseen are a cluster of small lakes located north of Iffeldorf, extending toward Seeshaupt. These lake are surrounded by the foothills of the Alps. Grosser Ostersee is the largest of the lakes, and there is an FKK meadow on its northeastern side. This large meadow is located at the only break in the trees along the eastern side of the lake. The water of Grosser Ostersee is quite shallow, and the meadow can sometimes be waterlogged. Many visitors brings mats for sunbathing and rafts for floating in the water.
The FKK meadow at Grosser Ostersee is just a few kilometers north of the FKK meadow at Fohnsee. Comparing the two, the Grosser Ostersee meadow is large and flatter but draws fewer visitors than Fohnsee, so sunbathers tend to be more spread out. Furthermore, while both lakes are quite pretty, Fohnsee is the more scenic of the two.

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 8 (Penzberg/Iffeldorf) of the A95 autobahn. A95 is a fairly short autobahn than runs about 70 kilometers from Munich south toward Austria, becoming a regular highway (B2) as it enters the Alps near the border. Exit 8 is located 42 kilometers south of the northern end of A95 in Munich and 26 kilometers north of the southern end of the A95 near Eschenlohe.
If you are heading south (toward Austria) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 47.7757, 11.3450 (Map It). At the end of the ramp, turn right onto route St2063.
If you are heading north (toward Munich) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 47.7702, 11.3376 (Map It). At the end of the ramp, turn left onto route St2063 and cross under the autobahn.
Once you are on St2063, head north (toward Seeshaupt) about 600 meters to Untereurach, where there is a prominent left-hand turnoff toward Isseldorf.
To go to Grosser Ostersee (drawn in aqua):
Do NOT turn toward Isseldorf. Stay straight ahead on on St2063 (Seeshaupter Strasse) another 3.3 kilometers, then turn left at a sign for Ostersee. You'll immediately reach a parking lot next to a large building. The driveway that you turned on to access the parking lot continues as a walking path, going through an open field to the lakeshore.
To go to Fohnsee (drawn in orange):
Turn left and head west on St2538 toward Isseldorf. After 900 meters, you will reach a prominent junction with St2038 (Staltacher Strasse). Keep straight ahead (on St2538) just under 200 meters farther and you will reach a right-hand turnoff for Osterseenstrasse.
Fohnsee parking Option 1 (drawn in pink):
Turn right onto Osterseenstrasse. Go north just under 500 meters, then keep to the left (straight ahead) at a fork. At this point you will be on Fohnseeweg. Follow this street north about 500 meters to its end at a large parking lot at the textile area of the lake.
Fohnsee parking Option 2 (drawn in purple):
Instead of turning, stay straight ahead on St2538 through Iffeldorf about 200 meters farther, at which point St2538 will curve sharply to the left. Do NOT follow the curve. Stay straight ahead. You will then be on Jägergasse. Continue just under 200 meters farther to a fork. At this point you will be at the western edge of the village, heading toward open fields. Bear right at the fork. In less than 100 meters you will reach a large parking lot on your right.

Pucher Meer

Pucher Meer
Pucher Meer is a gravel pit that has been developed into a recreation lake. The lake is small, with a circumference of just under a kilometer, and it is exceptionally pretty despite the heaps of gravel along its east side. The large, manicured lawn at the south end of the lake (next to the parking lot) is textile. The FKK area is a beach-like protrusion of land at the northeast corner of the lake. Facing the water at the textile area, just go to the right past the gravel mounds and you'll reach the FKK area in just a few minutes. There are sanitary facilities and a restaurant near the parking lot. Pucher Meer is about 35 kilometers west of Munich.
Augsburger Strasse 80, Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany
The above address is the exact street address of Pucher Meer. Augsburger Strasse is the same as route B2, and Pucher Meer is a bit west of the junction of B2 and B471. It is northwest of the town center of Fürstenfeldbruck and just east of the village of Puch. The parking lot, at coordinates 48.1876, 11.2335 (Map It), is accessed from a five-way roundabout along the B2.

Pupplinger Au

Pupplinger Au
Pupplinger Au is a nature reserve along the river Isar just south of its confluence with the Loisach. (The Loisach is the river that flows north next to the pinpointed water treatment facility.) In this hidden, forest area, the riverbed of the Isar is quite wide, forming an island of pebbles and scrub. This area is very popular with nudists.
Pupplinger Au is located just northeast of Wolfratshausen, a town that is about 30 kilometers south of Munich. Although there are many places to sunbathe nude much closer to the center of Munich, Pupplinger Au is nonetheless quite popular with Münchner (i.e., people from Munich) because it is more remote and free of the curious onlookers that are present at the city's urban FKK areas. Attendance swells on weekends. Wolfratshausen is the southernmost town along Munich's S-bahn (line S7).
Pupplinger Au can be accessed either from the either west or east sides of the Isar. Either way, it is a rather longish hike of half an hour or more. Many visitors bring bicycles. If you hike in from the west side, you'll go by the water treatment plant, following a route that roughly parallels the Loisach. This route takes you close to the confluence, which is a predominantly gay area. Most gay visitors take this route, which is also the closest route for those arriving by S-bahn. If you hike in from the east side, leaving from Gasthaus Aujäger (pinpointed), you'll be walking parallel to the east bank of the Isar and will enter the area at a place frequented mostly by straight couples.
Depending on the river level, you may have to wade to get to the island. If the river level is low, you can find places to skip across the rocks.
Wolfratshausen, Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, Oberbayern, Bayern, Germany

Wolfratshausen station, S-bahn line S7
This is the last stop of line S7. Service to and from this suburban station is less frequent than for central Munich—about twice and hour. The ride from central Munich is about 40 minutes.

Mühlpointweg, Wolfratshausen, Germany
[Wolfratshausen is accessed via Exit 6 of the A95 autobahn, about 33 kilometers southwest of Munich.]
Look for streetside parking along Mühlpointweg just south of its intersection with Weidacher Hauptstrasse. There is no streetside parking along the street route drawn by the green line. If you have trouble finding streetside parking, you can probably find a space at the S-bahn park and ride (see the pinpointed S-bahn station), which will add about 10 minutes to your walk.
This placemark pertains to Pupplinger Au.

The hike to the river is drawn in orange and green. If you arrive by S-bahn, you'll have to do the entire hike. If you arrive by car, you can avoid the orange stretch if you can find parking near the junction of Mühlpointweg and Weidacher Hauptstrasse.
orange segment:
If arriving by S-bahn (or if parking at the S-bahn park and ride), walk to the north end of the parking lot on the west side of the S-bahn station. Briefly walk north on the street Am Flosskanal, passing just one house, then bear right onto a paved bicycle path. You'll immediatly go under the train tracks. Continue north and you will be filtered onto the street Mühlpointweg. Follow it until you reach the street Weidacher Hauptstrasse. At this point, you will have walked about 500 meters.
green segment:
Cross Weidacher Haupstrasse, then bear slightly to the left to stay on Mühlpointweg. Continue along Mühlpointweg 150 meters to the next intersection, then turn right onto Isarspitz and follow this street to its end—a distance of about 800 meters.
When you reach the gate at the end of Isarspitz (next to a water treatment facility), look to your right. There is a narrow but well-defined path through the woods. (Note: If you happen to arrive by motorcycle, you can park it at the trailhead, but there is no parking for automobiles anywhere along Isarspitz.)
Follow the narrow path for a few minutes until you reach a "T"-intersection with an old road. Turn right and follow the old road until you reach the Isar river. There are trail forks off the old road that form a maze of trails, but any trail you take will eventually lead to the Isar near its confluence with the Loisach, so any fork will do. This distance from the start of the trail to the river is about 1.2 kilometers.
The total hike takes 30 to 45 minutes.
This placemark pertains to Pupplinger Au.

Wolfratshausen is accessed via Exit 6 of the A95 autobahn, about 33 kilometers southwest of Munich.
Heading east (toward Egling and Sauerlach) on route St2070, just after you pass through Wolfratshausen you'll cross a bridge over the river Isar, at coordinates 47.9166, 11.4461 (Map It), where this placemark is pinpointed.
From the bridge, continue east about 250 meters farther. Take the first left after the bridge, then immediately turn right into a large parking lot next to Aujäger guesthouse and biergarten.

Trebgaster Badesee

Trebgaster Badesee
Trebgaster Badesee is a manicured, man-made swimming lake in the small town of Trebgast, which is about 20 kilometers north of Bayreuth in far northern Bavaria. The lake has many amenities, including a café, restrooms with showers, paddle boat rentals and various sports facilities. All these are located toward the northeast end of lake near the parking lot. Nude bathing is tolerated at the opposite side of the lake, along the southwestern shore.
There is a path around the entire lakeshore. From the entrance to the lake next to the parking lot, you can follow the path in either direction and you will reach the FKK area in 600-700 meters (past the prominent island that is bridged to the western shore). Although there is access to the water from the FKK area, most nudity occurs a bit off the lakeshore path, among the scattered trees of the south shore meadow, where there is a degree of privacy from passersby. There is an entry fee of a few euros per person.

Untreusee

Untreusee
Untreusee is a very popular and pretty recreation lake in Hof, which is a large town in the far northeast of Bavaria, near the Czech Republic. Most visitors flock to the north end of the lake, where there are several textile sunbathing meadows as well as a biergarten, a playground and a boat dock. Far removed from these amenities, there is a lakeshore FKK meadow toward the southern end of the western shore of the lake. This is not an officially designated FKK area, but nudity is freely tolerated. The FKK meadow is about 100 meters long and is just off the circumference path of the lake, but it is hidden from the path by a grove of trees.
If you park in the main parking lot at the north end of the lake, it will take a little over 20 minutes to walk to the FKK area. You can cut that time in half by and completely bypass the main hubbub of the lake by parking and accessing the lake near the village of Eppenreuth.

This placemark pertains to Untreusee.

Assume that your starting point is the intersection of Ernst-Reuter-Strasse and Jahnstrasse in Hof, at coordinates 50.3172, 11.9046 (Map It). There are three federal highways—B2, B15 and B173—through Hof, all going through or very close to the city center. The intersection of Ernst-Reuter-Strasse and Jahnstrasse is where these three numbered routes meet.
Go south on Ernst-Reuter-Strasse. This is also the route of both B2 and B15. For about 2 kilometers, Ernst-Reuter-Strasse will be multi-lane street with traffic lights, then it will become a limited-access highway. Once it becomes a limited-access highway, continue south about a kilometer and you will reach the point where B2 and B15 diverge. This placemark, at coordinates 50.2931, 11.9138 (Map It), is pinpointed at the divergence. From this point, B15 continues straight ahead, while it is necessary to exit to stay on the course of B2.
To park near Eppenreuth (shorter walk): (drawn in blue)
Exit to stay on B2 (going toward Bayreuth), then follow B2 west about 2 kilometers.
Turn left toward the village of Eppenreuth and follow the road southeast. After 700 meters, you will reach the village center, and the road will fork. Stay to the left (toward Wustuben) and take note of your distance. Continue southeast another 700 meters and you will reach a left-hand turnoff, at coordinates 50.2754, 11.9024 (Map It). This turnoff goes toward the FKK area. However, there is no formal parking along the road. You may wish to turn to check out informal parking options. Otherwise, just make a note of the location and continue toward Wustuben another 300 meters. You will reach a pullout on the left that can hold about 15 cars.
To park at the main Untreusee lot (longer walk): (drawn in aqau)
Do NOT exit to stay on B2. Continue south along B15 about 800 meters farther and take the next exit (signed for Wunsiedel, Schwarzenbach, Oberkotzau and Moschendorf). At the end of the exit ramp, turn right onto St2177 (toward Oberkotzau), then after just 100 meters take the next possible right onto Schaumbergstrasse. Follow Schaumbergstrasse northwest about 600-700 meters, then turn left onto Stelzenhofstrasse. Follow Stelzenhofstrasse west 300 meters and you'll reach the large Untreusee parking lot on the right.

[Walking route drawn in green.]
A paved road, blocked to automobiles, leaves from the pinpointed parking pullout. It is possible to follow this road to reach the FKK area (it goes past the pinpointed covered footbridge), but it is a little shorter to retrace part of your driving route.
Backtrack on foot toward Eppenreuth for 300 meters, then turn right onto the next paved road. Follow this road east about 400 kilometers and you will reach a four-way junction.
Turn left. You will be walking north on the lakeshore circumference path, and there will be a grove of trees to your right, blocking your view of the lake. The FKK meadow is through these trees. Continue about 200 meters until the trees end, then turn right toward the lake and enter the FKK meadow from its north end.
The total walk takes about 10 minutes.

[Walking route drawn in orange.]
As you head from the parking lot toward the lake, you'll see a boat dock. Facing the lake at the boat dock, turn right. You'll be on the circumference path that goes around the entire lake. Follow the path along the north shore, past the playground. Once the path curves and begins to go south along the west shore of the lake, you will go past a few groves of trees to your left (between the path and the lake), then the path will pass through an area about 100 meters long where there are trees on both sides.
Once the path emerges from these trees, keep walking about a minute farther. At this point, you should be in an area where there are trees to your right but an open lakeshore lawn to your left. Leave the path and angle through the lawn toward the next grove of trees. Go around the trees close to the lakeshore and you'll enter the FKK meadow.
If you reach a four-way junction, you've just missed the FKK area (which is hidden from the path by trees).
The total walk from the parking lot is just under 2 kilometers and takes about 25 minutes.

This is the only four-way junction of paths on the west side of the lake. The FKK area is just north of this junction.

Almer Weiher

Almer Weiher
Almer Weiher is an undeveloped lake that is hidden in a patch of forest in a rural location about 20 kilometers southeast of Regensburg and approximately halfway between Nürnberg and the Austrian border. The lake, which is roughly rectangular, spans about a kilometer from east to west and 400 meters north to south. Nudity is generally acceptable along the entire lake.
As you walk north along the unpaved road from the parking area, you'll arrive at the eastern shore of the lake, where there is excavating equipment. This part of the lake is mostly open to the water, and it may be mostly textile, mostly nudist or mixed. Once you've waked past the eastern edge of the lake, turn left onto a side trail that goes west along the forested north shore. About halfway across the north shore, there is a peninsula with a secluded meadow that is partially open to the lake but mostly sheltered by trees. The peninsula (where this placemark is pinpointed) is the main FKK area. The total walk from the parking area to the peninsula is about one kilometer.
The east shore and the peninsula are the main gathering places. The rest of the shoreline is forested. There are no amenities or facilities at the lake.
Mintraching, Regensburg, Oberpfalz, Bayern, Germany

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 103 (Rosenhof) of the A3 autobahn. This exit is located within the municipal limits of Barbing, and it is about 13 kilometers east of the junction of autobahns A3 and A93 in Regensburg, the closest major town.
If you are heading east (toward Austria) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 48.9918, 12.2354 (Map It). At the end of the exit ramp, turn right onto route B8.
If you are heading west (toward Regensburg and Nürnberg) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 48.9923, 12.2449 (Map It). At the end of the exit ramp, turn left onto route B8 and cross over the autobahn.
Follow route B8 southeast (toward Straubing) about 7 kilometers. Opposite the turnoff into the village of Geisling, turn right onto route St2329 (toward Mintraching).
About 200 meters after turning, be sure to keep to the right as St2329 makes a long curve. After the curve, you will be heading west (still toward Mintraching). Continue about a kilometer through the open farmland, at which point the road will abruptly enter a dense forest.
Once you are in the forest, continue one kilometer farther, where there is an unpaved side road on the right (north). This road is the access to the lake. Parking is alongside St2329, and there are likely to be cars lined up 100-200 meters before and after the side road.
If you reach the hamlet of Schwaighof, just past the end of the forest, you've missed the lake access by 1.7 kilometers.

Eschacher Weiher

Eschacher Weiher
Eschacher Weiher is small, idyllic lake in the foothills of the Alps, in a rural area within 50 kilometers of the Austrian border. The grassy shoreline along the the northeast side of the lake extends about 350 meters and draws both textile and nude bathers, who gather toward opposite ends. The 400-meter-long access trail that descends gently through an open meadow is drawn in green. Facing the lake from the end of the trail, go to the right a short distance to reach the FKK area. Toilets are available in the textile area. The lake affords great views of the Alps to the south.

Eschach, Buchenberg, Germany
Eschach is a small village within the municipality of Buchenberg. When you look up Eschach, be sure to quality it with "Buchenberg" to distinguish it from a handful of other towns and villages in Germany with the same name.
Eschach is 3.5 kilometers northwest of the main part of Buchenberg, and there is just one minor road (numbered OA20) that goes through the village. Assuming that you approach from Buchenberg, continue west through Eschach. About 800 meters past the small cluster of village buildings, you will reach a trail on the left (drawn in green) that goes to the lake, which will be visible downhill in the distance. There is parking along the street near the trailhead, and there is also a parking lot about 100 meters past the trailhead.

Kaisersee

Kaisersee
Kaisersee is a small lake located within the city limits of Augsburg, about 7.5 kilometers northeast of the city center. This lake has become popular with nudists even though is is not officially designated as FKK. This placemark is pinpointed at a small peninsula on the south side of the lake that is a particularly popular gathering place, but nudity occurs along the entire lakeshore. The circumference path around the lakeshore is about a kilometer long, so you can explore the whole lake in about 15 minutes. There are no facilities (food, toilets, etc.) at the lake. There are trees along much of the shoreline, but there are many openings where there is access to the water.
Kaisersee lies at the southwest corner of two highways, and while there is not a parking lot, there is a row of streetside parking along one of the highways that provides very quick access to the lake, which is separated from the parking area by just a narrow band of trees. If parking is full, you can try parking at Autobahnsee (see the other parking placemark), which is just a kilometer away.

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 73 (Augsburg-Ost) of the A8 autobahn. This is one of two main autobahn exits for the small city of Augsburg. (The other exit, Augsburg-West, is 3.5 kilometers to the west.)
If you are heading east (toward Munich) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 48.4109, 10.9130 (Map It). When the exit lane splits, keep to the left. You will then make a loop and cross over the autobahn, at which point you will be going north on route St2035 (toward Mühlhausen).
If you are heading west (toward Stuttgart) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 48.4084, 10.9290 (Map It). When the exit ramp splits, keep to the right. You'll be filtered onto route St2035, going north (toward Mühlhausen).
Once you are on St2035, you will almost immediately reach a right-hand turnoff toward Autobahnsee, which is a recreation lake next to the autobahn. Do NOT turn. Just take note of this location. You may need to backtrack and turn toward Autobahnsee if parking next to Kaisersee is full.
Continue straight ahead (north) on St2035 for 500 meters and you will reach the start of a row of parking spaces on the left side of the street. This parking row extends about 300 meters, as indicated by the aqua line. If you reach the intersection with St2381 (Gersthofer Strasse, the airport turnoff), you've just gone past the end of the parking row.

Sendener Baggerseen

Sendener Baggerseen
The Sendener Baggerseen are a collection of small lakes at the south end of Senden. (A baggersee is a man-made lake, usually a flooded gravel pit, and the "n" at the end makes it plural.) The lake that is at the southwest corner of this cluster is popular with nude sunbathers. Most of the lake has trees along the lakeshore, but there are two grassy meadows where visitors gather, each of which is about 100 meters long.
This placemark is pinpointed at the meadow at the south end of the lake. This meadow draws the most visitors of the two. It often has a textile majority, but nudity is well accepted.
The meadow on the north end of the lake is more hidden and less populated, and it tends to be mostly nudist. The crowd is mixed but heavily gay.
The walk from one FKK meadow to the other along the eastern side of the lake is about 600 meters. You can make a loop of 1.8 kilometers around the entire lake, but there aren't any sunbathing areas along the western side.
Senden, Neu-Ulm, Schwaben, Bayern, Germany

This meadow tends to have fewer people but a higher percentage of nudists.
This placemark pertains to Sendener Baggerseen.

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 122 (Dreieck Hittistetten) of the A7 autobahn. This exit, which is within the district of Neu-Ulm (close to the western border of Bavaria), is about 15 kilometers south of the A7/A8 junction and 38 kilometers north of the A7/A96 junction.
If you are heading north when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 48.3188, 10.0909 (Map It). If you are heading south when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 48.3299, 10.0885 (Map It).
All exiting traffic is filtered onto route B28, heading northwest toward Ulm (the largest town in the vicinity). Follow B28 (which is a limited-access highway along this stretch) for 3.7 kilometers and take the first exit, which is the Senden exit.
At the end of the exit ramp, turn left onto route St2031. You will cross over B28, heading south into Senden. After 2.3 kilometers, having passed through Senden, you will reach a roundabout at the south end of town.
Go straight through the roundabout and continue south on St2031(Kemptener Strasse) another 900 meters to the next four-way intersection. At this intersection, to your right is a minor road and to your left is St2019 (Römerstrasse), which goes toward Wullenstetten. Turn right onto the minor road and follow it west about 500 meters to a parking lot at the end.

Dettelbach Baggersee

Dettelbach Baggersee
Dettelbach Baggersee is a flooded gravel pit in the small town of Dettelbach, about 20 kilometers east of Würzburg, the closest major town. There is excavating equipment on the eastern side of the lake, while the western side is used for swimming and sunbathing. The main gathering place for textiles is at the northwest corner of the lake, near the highway (B22). Several hundred meters to the south, there is an informal FKK area toward the middle of the western shoreline.
From the pinpointed parking area, you can cross a small embankment and follow a broad path to the lakeshore. The undeveloped FKK area is a secluded meadow surrounded by dense vegetation. There are breaks in the growth through which the water can be accessed for nude swimming. This location is attended mainly by gay men.

Unisee

Unisee (Stadtwaldsee)
This small lake is situated about 4.5 kilometers north of the city center of Bremen (as the crow flies; add a few kilometers for the driving distance). The official name is Stadtwaldsee, which means "City Forest Lake," but it is more popularly called Unisee, borrowing the "uni" from the nearby University of Bremem (Universität Bremen).
There is a sandy textile beach at the southeast corner of the lake. Just north of the sandy beach, a line of trees shields the textile beach from a designated FKK area. The nude area is a grassy lakeshore lawn (no sand). The beach is equipped with restrooms, and there is a snack kiosk during summer. The FKK area, which has about 160 meters of waterfront, is quite popular and can get very crowded on peak summer days.

Erlensee

Erlensee
Erlensee is a small lake located in a rural area near the A5 autobahn, about halfway between Frankfurt am Main and Mannheim. This oblong lake has a circumference of just under 2 kilometers, and the main gathering spot for textiles is the short western shoreline near the parking lot. Nude bathing is common toward the east end of the north shore even though there is apparently no officially designated FKK area. Facing the lake from the textile area, go to the left and follow the shoreline at least until you are past the small island. Nudity takes place in the various niches along the mostly forested shoreline. Some visitors swim to the island, which is generally the domain of nudists as well. Visitors should not be naked on the south shore, which is frequented by anglers.
There is a parking fee of a few euros, and there are restrooms and a snack stand in the textile area.

Freizeitgelände Unter den Eichen

Freizeitgelände Unter den Eichen
Freizeitgelände Unter den Eichen (which translates as "Under the Oaks Recreation Area") is a small forest park located a few kilometers north of the center of Wiesbaden. Within this park are the three adjacent nude sunbathing lawns that are shielded by hedges. One lawn is for families, one is for women only, and one is for men only. There are showers in each area, but there are no swimming facilities in the park, textile or otherwise.
There is a small entrance fee, and food concessions are located near the badminton courts.
Platter Strasse 200, 65195 Wiesbaden, Germany
The above address is the exact street address of Freizeitgelände Unter den Eichen. Platter Strasse is the same as route B417. The park is located just north of a large office park called Medienpark Unter den Eichen, which consists of several buildings near coordinates 50.0967, 8.2178 (Map It). Parking is available on the east side on B417 next to a large cemetery called Nordfriedhof, at coordinates 50.1008, 8.2178 (Map It). The FKK lawns are across the street from the cemetery on the west side of B417, about 100-150 meters north of the quad of badminton courts that are within the park.

Grüneburgpark

Grüneburgpark
Grüneburgpark is a large city park that is located a few kilometers directly north of Frankfurt's distinctive skyline of high-rise buildings. Like urban parks in other major German cities, Grüneburgpark has an area that is popular with nude sunbathers. However, this inner-city FKK oasis is not nearly as well-known as are those in the parks of Munich and Berlin. The nude bathing meadow of Grüneburgpark is located at the northern end of the park, north of the gold-domed Greek Orthodox church and just south of the terminus of the A66 autobahn. The FKK area seems to be visited predominantly by gay men.
If you are visiting Frankfurt with limited time for FKK pursuits, the nude meadow of Grüneburgpark is convenient to the city center via a short U-bahn ride followed by a walk of 15 to 20 minutes. If you have more time, consider going to Langener Waldsee to the south of the city (near the airport) for a more proper nude beach experience, complete with a body of water.
Note: Frankfurt, which is Germany's financial capital and a major hub of air travel, is often called "Frankfurt am Main" (Frankfurt on the River Main) to distinguish it from another German town named Frankfurt that is near the Polish border.
Frankfurt am Main, [urban], Darmstadt, Hessen, Germany

This placemark, at coordinates 50.1314, 8.6638 (Map It), is pinpointed at the eastern terminus of the A66 autobahn, several kilometers north of the center of Frankfurt am Main. This location is about 5 kilometers east of the junction of A66 and A5, and it is just east of the junction of A66 and L3004.
Assume that you are going east on A66. When you reach the terminus, the eastbound and westbound lanes merge to become a regular multi-lane street. When you reach that point, continue east about 300 meters to the first four-way intersection.
Turn right onto Hansaallee and go south 300 meters.
Turn right onto Lübecker Strasse. (If you reach the major four-way intersection with Bremer Strasse, you've missed your turn by 200 meters.)
Go west on Lübecker Strasse about 200 meters and continue straight across the four-way intersection with Siolistrasse. Beyond the intersection, Lübecker Strasse continues 200 meters farther west, with pull-in parking spaces on both sides of the street. Access to the park is at the west end of Lübecker Strasse . There is more parking along neighboring streets.

Go right (north) on the broad walking path that goes in front of the church. (Stated another way, if you are facing the church entry, stick out your left hand and go that direction.)
Just past the church, the path forks. Keep to the left. Just 50 meters later, you'll reach another fork. This time, stay to the right. You should still be going north.
Ignore the turnoff that you'll immediately see to your right. Continue straight ahead about 75 meters and the path will fork. Instead of taking either fork, just continue straight ahead on the grass and you'll be in the FKK meadow.
The total walk from Holzhausenstrasse U-bahn station is 1.2 kilometers. The total walk from the closest parking is 350 meters.

Königsee

Königsee
Königsee is a small recreation lake at the north end of Zellhausen, which is the northern part of the town of Mainhausen. The main beach at the southeast coner of this small lake is textile, but nudists gather along the eastern shore.

Langener Waldsee

Langener Waldsee
Langener Waldsee is a recreation lake about 12 kilometers south of Frankfurt in the vicinity of the city's immense airport (one of the busiest in the world). This lake is a popular recreation area that is especially popular with windsurfers despite the somewhat unsightly presence of an excavating operation along the south and west shores. (To be fair, without the excavating, the lake would not exist.)
The northeast corner of the lake is the location of a popular beach. The entire beach area is fenced, and a fee is required to enter. (If you arrive by car, you'll drive into the enclosed area, which contains the parking lot.) The beach is divided into a west-facing textile zone and a south-facing FKK zone. The two areas are separated by a fence. This is essentially the nude beach of Frankfurt, and it can get very crowded on summer weekends, when the parking lot can be filled to capacity.
The beach is open from mid-May to mid-September, and there is a food concession in the textile area along with toilets and showers. Out of season, the gates are locked and there is no access. The nearest S-bahn station, Dreieich-Buchschlag, is about 3.3 kilometers to the east, and the forested walk from the S-bahn station to the beach takes the better part of an hour. However, there is a shuttle bus (Waldseebus) that runs from Dreieich-Buchschlag to the beach on summer weekends, but this bus runs only when the weather is sunny and the daily high temperature is predicted to be at least 25°C (77°F). If you visit on a weekend when parking is full, follow signs to the park and ride at Dreieich-Buchschlag to catch the shuttle.
Note: Frankfurt, which is Germany's financial capital and a major hub of air travel, is often called "Frankfurt am Main" (Frankfurt on the River Main) to distinguish it from another German town named Frankfurt that is near the Polish border.

This pinpointed interchange is the junction of the A3 autobahn with route B43 within the municipal limits of Raunheim, about 20 kilometers southwest of the city center of Frankurt am Main. This is a rather complicated junction that is located west of the A3/A67 junction and the huge Frankfurt airport.
If you are heading west on A3 (toward Wiesbaden), take Exit 48 (Mönchhof-Dreieck), which is also the exit onto the A67. The exit ramp is at coordinates 50.0305, 8.5033 (Map It), just past the western edge of the airport. Once you exit, stay in the far right lane. You do NOT want to enter the A67. After about 2.2 kilometers, exit the frontage road, following signs to Raunheim. You will loop under the frontage road and the A3, then you will be heading south on B43. This exit route is drawn in red and purple.
If you are coming from the A67, as you head north toward the terminus of the autobahn, the lanes will split. All traffic is filtered toward the A3, going one direction or the other. Keep to the left, following the signs toward Wiesbaden, Köln, etc. (NOT toward Würzburg). You will be looped across the A3 onto a frontage road, heading west. You will not actually enter the A3. At the first opportunity, exit the frontage road, following signs to Raunheim. You will loop under the frontage road and the A3, then you will be heading south on B43. This exit route is drawn in orange and purple.
If you are heading east on A3 (toward the Frankfurt airport and Würzburg), take Exit 48 (Raunheim). The exit ramp is at coordinates 50.0298, 8.4604 (Map It). Once you exit, the lanes will split twice. In both cases, stay to the right. After about 1.2 kilometers, you will be filtered onto B43, going south. This exit route is drawn in aqua.
The rest of the route is drawn in blue.
Once you are on B43 (going south), take the first possible exit, which you'll reach in 500-1,000 meters, depending on your approach. This exit is signed for Raunheim. After you exit, you'll make a long loop over B43. At the end of the loop, turn right. At this point, you should going south on Kelsterbacher Strasse.

Seepark Niederweimar

Seepark Niederweimar
Seepark Niederweimar is a lakeshore recreation park located roughly halfway between Frankfurt am Main and Kassel. The lake lies within the municipality of Weimar (which is usually written as "Weimar/Lahn" to avoid confusing it with the larger and more historically significant town of Weimar that is located over 200 kilometers to the east). The southwestern end of the lake is developed, and there is a sandy textile beach with full beach amenities. The sandy volleyball courts (pinpointed) separate the textile beach from a designated FKK area. The nude beach is a grassy lawn with access to the water, and there is also a floating dock for nude sunbathing. The entry fee to the park is €3.50 per person.
Seepark Niederweimar is less than 500 meters from the Niederweimar train station, which is at coordinates 50.7567, 8.7338 (Map It).

Bugasee

Bugasee
Bugasee is a lake within a manicured urban park called Naturschutzgebiet Fulda-Aue‎, which is a few kilometers south of the city center of Kassel. The lake is situated next to the east bank of the river Fulda. The shoreline of Bugasee is over 5 kilometers long, and most visitors flock to the southern side of the lake, where there are several sandy beach coves (all textile). The main textile beach is pinpointed. At the far west end of Bugasee lies a segment of the lake that is secluded from the rest of it, and there is a designated FKK meadow along the north shore in this area. There is access to the water, but the shoreline and the rest of the FKK meadow is ringed by trees. It is a walk of just under a kilometer from the FKK area to the main textile beach, where there is a snack stand and a restaurant. There is no admission fee. There are multiple parking lots along the southern side of the lake. The pinpointed lot is closest to the FKK area.
Kassel, [urban], Kassel, Hessen, Germany

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 5 (Kassel-Auestadion) of the A49 autobahn. This location is in the southern part of the city of Kassel, about 5 kilometers south of the city center. This exit is about 3.5 kilometers west of the A49/A7 junction and 3 kilometers northeast of the A49/A44 junction.
If you are heading west (toward the A44) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 51.2857, 9.4831 (Map It). If you are heading northeast (toward the A7) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 51.2834, 9.4799 (Map It).
All exiting traffic is filtered north onto route B3, going toward the city center. Within a few hundred meters, you will cross under a railway. After the railway, continue north about 500 meters and take the next possible right onto Am Sportzentrum (K19).
Follow Am Sportzentrum east and north 500-600 meters, then turn right (east) onto Damaschkestrasse.
Once you are on Damaschkestrasse, you will almost immediately cross a bridge over the river Fulda. Once you have crossed the bridge, Damaschkestrasse will begin to run along the lakeshore. A narrow band of trees to your left separates the road and the lake. At that point, the FKK area is on the other side of the lake. Park as the first available opportunity. A few hundred meters farther along, there are huge parking lots on either side of the road.
If you cross under a railway and reach Messe Kassel (a large exhibition center), you've missed where you need to park.

Niedersachsen

Borkum

Strand Borkum
The Frisian Islands are a long chain of island in the North Sea, offshore from the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. The chain stretches about 500 kilometers, and most of the islands are within 10 kilometers of the mainland. The Frisians are divided into three groups: West, East and North. The West Frisians belong entirely to the Netherlands. The East Frisians are entirely within Germany. The North Frisians are mostly in Germany, but a few of them belong to Denmark.
Borkum is the westernmost of the East Frisians, which makes it the westernmost island of Germany. All the islands farther west are part of the Netherlands. Borkum is about 11 kilometers long from east to west, and it is a popular holiday destination. All the island's hotels and other services are located in the town of Borkum at the northwest corner of the island, and there is little development outside the town. The designated FKK beach of Borkum is located a bit east of the town, at a distance of about 3.5 kilometers east of the town beach promenade. For visitors without a car, the FKK beach is easy accessible by bus or bicycle.
There is a small sauna facility called Strandsauna Borkum along the FKK beach. In addition to sauna facilities and services, Strandsauna Borkum offers a café and beach chair rentals. There is another café along the dune path between the beach and the parking lot. Part of the expansive FKK beach is a designated dog area.
There is a small airport on Borkum, but just about everyone gets to the island by ferry, and taking a car on the ferry is possible although not necessary. Ferries depart from two towns: Emden, which is in Germany; and Eemshaven, which is in the Netherlands but is closer to Borkum than is Emden. From either town, there are automobile ferries that are available to passengers with and without cars, and there are also faster passenger-only ferries called katamarans. Ferry information can be found at Ag-Ems.de (in German only). Automobile ferries from Emden take about two hours and katamarans take about one hour. From Eemshaven, each type of ferry takes about half the time.
From the ferry dock on the south side of Borkum, a train shuttles passengers six kilometers to Borkum town, which overlooks the sea at the northwest corner of the island. Borkum town is the only town on the island. From the east end Borkum town, a street called Ostfriesenstrasse goes east past the small single-runway airport to the hamlet of Ostland. A parking lot for the FKK beach is located at coordinates 53.6029, 6.7123 (Map It), one kilometer past (east of) the airport turnoff and one kilometer before (west of) Ostland. It is the only parking lot along Ostfriesenstrasse. From this parking lot, a 600-meter-long path goes directly to the FKK beach.
For visitors who do not bring cars, renting a car is possible, but renting a bicycle is more common. There is also a local bus service, and the bus makes a stop at the FKK beach parking lot. The bus stop is clearly marked "FKK."

Norderney

Strand Norderney
The Frisian Islands are a long chain of island in the North Sea, offshore from the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. The chain stretches about 500 kilometers, and most of the islands are within 10 kilometers of the mainland. The Frisians are divided into three groups: West, East and North. The West Frisians belong entirely to the Netherlands. The East Frisians are entirely within Germany. The North Frisians are mostly in Germany, but a few of them belong to Denmark.
Norderney is in the middle of the East Frisians. The island is about 14 kilometers long from east to west, and it is a popular holiday destination. All the island's hotels and other services are located in the town of Norderney, which occupies the far western quarter of the island. The designated FKK beach lies approximately in the middle of the island's northern coast. Beyond the FKK beach going east, there is no development.
The popular FKK beach is well signed and served by a local bus line. There is a café called Oase at the entrance to the beach. Straight ahead from the beach entrance, there is a small sauna facility very close to the waterline. For information about and photos of the sauna, go to the tourist information website that is linked farther down and type "sauna" in the search (Suche) field that is on every page of the website.
Ferry service is from Norden on the mainland to Norderney town at the far west end of the island. The trip across the tidal waters is about 8 kilometers. It is possible but not necessary to transport an automobile on the ferry. The Reederei Frisia ferry website has schedule infomation available in German.
If you arrive with a car, turn right at the first intersection you reach as you leave the ferry dock. Follow Deichstrasse northeast for 1.5 kilometers, then bear right onto Karl-Rieger-Strasse and continue east another 1.8 kilometers. Turn right onto Am Dünensender, which will eventually become Am Golfplatz then Am Leuchtturm and it curves several times, generally heading southeast. At 2.7 kilometers after turning from Karl-Rieger-Strasse, you will reach a tall, prominent, red-brick lighthouse (Leuchtturm is the word for "lighthouse.") 600 meters past the lighthouse, turn left onto a beach access road that will dead end in 600 meters at Oase café, where there is a large parking lot at coordinates 53.7175, 7.2361 (Map It).
If you are without a car, you can take bus line 4. This line runs between town and the FKK beach, making a few stops along the way. The end stop is at the Oase café. Renting a bicycle is also a popular way to get around.

Hooksiel

Strand Hooksiel
Hooksiel Strand is a popular sandy beach that extends eastward from the North Sea resort village of Hooksiel. The part of the beach closest to the village is north-facing, while the more distant part of the beach faces northeast. Altogether, it is over 2 kilometers long.
There are two huge parking lots that serve the beach: 1 and 2. Contrary to what might be expected, Parkingplatz 2 is closer to the village of Hooksiel than is Parkingplatz 1, and the FKK area is closer to the village than is the main textile beach. From Parkingplatz 2, cross the street and follow the broad walkway to the beach. On the beach, there is a food concession in a brick building to your right (east), and the FKK beach extends several hundred meters to your left (west). The beach is backed by a large, treeless lawn, and there are beach chairs with shades that can be rented.

Duhnen

Strand Duhnen
Duhnen is a seaside division of the large town of Cuxhaven. The popular sandy beach of Duhnen extends four kilometers, facing the tidal flats of the North Sea. The east end of the beach is at the wide delta of the river Elbe. At the opposite extreme, the far west end of the beach is designated as FKK.
The 125-meter-long FKK area is easily identifiable by a flag with the letters "FKK" and because the beach chairs are set up in an area that is completely surrounded by a fence made of reeds. The fence provides a small measure of privacy, but it does not completely seal off the FKK area from public view. There is a nice area of sand within the fence, but it is also possible to exit the fenced area while naked to enter the water. Depending on the tide, there may be an expanse of mud flats between the dry beach and the sea.
Duhner Allee, Cuxhaven, Germany
The above address is in Duhnen, which is a subdivision of Cuxhaven. Duhner Allee is a straight ahead continuation of route K2, which is the road through Stickenbüttel that goes straight to the beach. As Duhner Allee approaches the roundabout where it ends next to the beach, there are parking lots on either side. The closest lot to the beach is at coordinates 53.8853, 8.6471 (Map It).
Just across the roundabout, there is an entrance to the long beach near its central area. Once you are at the beach, the FKK area is 1.3 kilometers to the west. There no need to walk. There is a shuttle that runs up and down the beach promenade. The shuttle is a golf-cart-type transport that resembles a toy train. Make sure you board the shuttle going west, which is to the left as you face the sea. When you reach the point where the shuttle turns around all the way at the end of the promenade, you will have arrived at the FKK beach.

Kennel-Bad

Kennel-Bad
Kennel-Bad is a small recreation lake located on the south side of the small city of Braunschweig, which is often called "Brunswick" in English. The south side of the lake is the location of a sandy textile beach. The west side of the lake is designated for nudists. The FKK area, which is shaded in light red, is shielded by trees, but there is access to the water for nude swimming. A food concession is located along the lakeshore walkway at the dividing line between the textile and FKK areas. The entrance fee is €2 per person.

entrance

This pinpointed interchange is the junction of autobahns A39 and A395, about 3 kilometers directly south of the center of Braunschweig. If you are heading north on the A395, which is a short autobahn, stay straight ahead through this interchange. A395 will terminate and continue toward Braunschweig as B248. If you are approaching from the A39, take Exit 13 (Kreuz BS-Süd).
If you are heading southwest on A39 (toward Salzgitter) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 52.2387, 10.5397 (Map It). Once you exit, you'll be on a frontage road. After 400-500 meters, be sure to stay to the right twice in quick succession, then you'll be filtered onto the B248 (going north).
If you are heading northwest on A39 (toward Wolfsburg) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 52.2369, 10.5228 (Map It). Immediately after you veer onto the exit lane, keep straight ahead when the exit lane splits. Just after your cross under the A395 overpass, bear to the right. You will be looped across the A39, then you will be heading north on B248.
Once you are on B248, you will be heading north toward Braunschweig. After about 700 meters, you will cross under two major railway overpasses in immediate succession. Immediately after crossing under the second of the railway overpasses, look to your left and you'll see a turnoff for Eisenbütteler Strasse. This is ultimately the street you want, but you cannot make a left turn. Keep going north on B248 another 500 or so meters, then make a U-turn at the intersection with Heinrich-Büssing-Ring. Backtrack along B248 about 500 meters. Just before the railway overpass, turn right onto Eisenbütteler Strasse.
Follow Eisenbütteler Strasse west about 500 meters. Immediately after crossing a small river, turn left onto Kennelweg. You'll cross under the northern of the two railways, then you'll reach a large parking area that lies between the two railways. Once you park, cross under the southern of the two railways to reach the entrance to Kennel-Bad.

This lake is the centerpiece of Richmond Park.

Wendebach-Stausee

Wendebach-Stausee
Wendebach-Stausee is a small recreation lake located a short drive south from the large town of Göttingen. The lake is popular with nude sunbathers, and nudity is freely tolerated despite an apparent lack of a formal FKK designation.
As you approach the lake from the parking lot, you will reach a wooden dock on the north shore. Facing the lake at the wooden dock, look to your right and you will see a small segment of the lake that is partitioned by buoys and wooden posts. This is a protected swimming area that is the main gathering spot for textiles. The main FKK meadow is on the south shore of the lake opposite the swimming area. You can follow the perimeter of the lake in either direction to get to the south shore, but the shortest route is around the eastern end of the lake. (I.e., facing the lake at the wooden dock, go to your left along the lakeshore trail.) While there is access to the water from the south shore for nude swimming, there is not an expanse of waterfront such as the one in the textile swimming area. The FKK meadow is mostly separated from the water by a line of trees.
There is some intermingling of nudists and textiles around the lake. Specifically, there are often some nudists toward the western periphery of the north shore swimming area. However, the north shore is always predominantly textile, and most nudists prefer the more secluded south shore, where nudists are the majority.

Hannover

Altwarmbüchener See and Parksee Lohne

Altwarmbüchener See
Altwarmbüchener See is a recreation lake located about 13 kilometers northeast of the center of Hannover. It lies at the northeast corner of the junction of two autobahns—the A37 and the A2. There are two sandy beaches on the north shore of the lake, and both are textile. The beach at the northwest corner of the lake closest to the parking lot get particularly crowded. Nudity is unofficially tolerated along the undeveloped southern shoreline, especially toward the eastern side. As you approach the larger of the two sandy beaches from the parking lot, you'll intersect a broad path that runs around the entire circumference of the lake—a distance of about 3.5 kilometers. The FKK area is most quickly reached by following the path around the west side of the lake (i.e., go to your right when facing the water). You'll encounter nude sunbathers after 15 minutes or so.

To go to Altwarmbüchener See:
This pinpointed interchange is Exit 46 (Hannover-Lahe) of the A2 autobahn, about 12 kilometers northeast of the center of Hannover. This is the first exit north of the A2/A37 junction, which is a major interchange.
If you are heading northwest (toward Langenhagen) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 52.4197, 9.8363 (Map It). At the end of the exit ramp, continue straight ahead across Hannoversche Strasse (K112/K36). The exit ramp filters into a street called Moorwaldweg. Just 100 meters farther, take the first possible left and shortly you'll reach the large parking lot. This approach is drawn in blue.
If you are heading southeast (toward Lehrte) when you exit, the long exit ramp begins at coordinates 52.4218, 9.8322 (Map It). Once you are in the exit lanes, be sure to keep to the right, following signs to Altwarmbüchen (otherwise you'll end up on the A37). At the end of the exit ramp, turn right (northeast) onto Kirchhorster Strasse (K36), which will almost immediately become Hannoversche Strasse (K112). After crossing under the autobahn, take the next possible right onto Moorwaldweg. Just 100 meters farther, take the first possible left and shortly you'll reach the large parking lot. This approach is drawn in orange.
To go to Parksee Lohne: (drawn in aqua)
Take the autobahn exit described above. However, instead of going toward Altwarmbüchener See, you will continue east toward the town of Altwarmbüch (a left turn if you took the exit drawn in blue, or straight ahead if you took the exit drawn in orange). Follow Hannoversche Strasse (K112) east about one kilometer, then turn left onto K114 (north, toward Kircher Bauerschaft). Stay on K114 for 2.1 kilometers, then turn right (east) onto Alter Postweg (toward the hamlet of Basselthof). Follow Alter Postweg for just over 300 meters. Just before Basselthof, turn left to stay on Alter Postweg. Continue about 750 meters to parking at Parksee Lohne. (If you reach the point where Alter Postweg crosses over the autobahn, you've gone too far.)

Kirchhorster See

Kirchhorster See
Kirchhorster See is a small recreation lake located 17 kilometers northeast of the center of Hannover. There is a sandy textile beach along the eastern shore of the lake. Facing the water, turn right and follow the trail that skirts the northern side of the lake. After about 400 meters, you'll reach a small, secluded meadow at the southwestern corner of the lake. This is where nudists gather. There are restrooms and a snack stand in the textile area. Since the lake is located next to the autobahn, there is often traffic noise, especially on the FKK side.
Note: The photos on the stadtgui.de website, linked below, are all of the textile beach. Also, this website incorrectly states that the FKK area is on the eastern shore (Ostufer). It should be the western shore (Westufer).

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 55 (Altwarmbüchen) of the A7 autobahn, about 15 kilometers northeast of the center of Hannover. This is the first exit north of the A7/A37 junction, which is a major interchange.
If you are heading south (toward Kassel) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 52.4391,9.8738 (Map It). Once you exit, the lanes will split. Keep to the right. This will take you to a "T" junction with route K112. Turn left onto K112 and cross over the A7.
If you are heading north (toward Hamburg) when you exit, the setup is more convoluted due to the proximity of the A7/A37 interchange. From this approach, take Exit 56 (Kreuz Hannover/Kirchhorst). The exit ramp is at coordinates 52.4234, 9.8898 (Map It). Once you exit, stay straight ahead on the frontage road. You'll cross under the A37. Keep straight ahead about 600 meters farther, then bear right onto Exit 55. At the end of the exit ramp, turn right onto K112.
[If you approach from the A37, exit as though you were going to go north on the A7, toward Hamburg. Instead of merging onto the A7, take Exit 55 instead.]
Once you are on K112, follow it east (toward Kirchhorst) about a kilometer and take the first possible right turn onto Grosshorst. Go south about 400 meters and take the next possible right to reach the Kirchhorster See parking lot.

Ricklinger Teiche

Ricklinger Teiche
From the central district of Hannover, an oblong lake called Maschsee extends southward nearly 2.5 kilometers, and there is a sandy textile beach (pinpointed) at the far south end. On the southwestern side of Maschsee, across the river Leine, there is a cluster of ponds called the Ricklinger Teiche. (Teiche is the plural of Teich, which means "pond.") These ponds are located in Ricklingen, which is a district of Hannover.
Within the cluster of ponds, there is a designated FKK meadow. This meadow lies just south of the east-to-west highway that bisects the ponds. (This highway is Südschnellweg, which is the route of B3, B6 and B65.) The meadow is on the north bank of a pond called Sieben-Meter-Teich, and it is one of three areas within the cluster of ponds that is designated for swimming. (The two textile swimming areas are nearby, on the opposite side of Südschnellweg.) While most of the waterfront of the FKK area is lined with trees, there is a small dock that provides access to the water.
The walk from the nearest tram (Strassenbahn) stops takes about 20-30 minutes. Tram stop Döhrener Turm (lines 1, 2 and 8), at coordinates 52.3450, 9.7624 (Map It), is about 1.7 kilometers away. Tram stop Beekestrasse (lines 3, 7 and 17), at coordinates 52.3435, 9.7251 (Map It), is about 1.9 kilometers away. It is also possible to take Bus 267 to Strandbad Maschsee (the pinpointed textile beach at the south end of Maschsee). From there, the walk to the FKK meadow is about one kilometer.

This pinpointed interchange, at coordinates 52.3508, 9.7939 (Map It), is a major junction of three highways that is located about 5 kilometers southeast of the city center of Hannover. The road to the north is B3, the road to the south is B6 and the road to the east is B65. To the west, there is stretch of about 5 kilometers where all three of these numbered highways share the same route. The east-west road through this junction is also called Südschnellweg.
Starting at this junction, go west on Südschnellweg (i.e., B3/B6/B65). After about 1.2 kilometers, Südschnellweg will cross under several railways overpasses in quick succession. About 300 meters beyond these overpasses, take the next possible exit, which is signed "Zentrum."
At the end of the long exit ramp, you'll reach a 4-way junction with a major multi-lane street called Hildesheimer Strasse (L393). Stay straight ahead through this intersection.
Once you've crossed the intersection, you will be on Willmerstrasse, and you will continue to head west parallel to the B3/B6/B65, which at this point will be an elevated highway on your left-hand side.
Follow Willmerstrasse 350 meters, then turn right onto Heuerstrasse and go north 200 meters. Just after crossing under a railway, turn left onto Riepestrasse and go west 200 meters to a four-way intersection. Turn left onto Schützenallee and you will immediately cross back under the previously mentioned railway. Continue south just over 100 meters and take the next possible right onto Pänner-Schuster-Weg (just before a highway overpass). Once you turn, you will once again be going parallel to the B3/B6/B65.
Follow Pänner-Schuster-Weg west about 400 meters, then take the next possible left into a large parking lot.
This placemark pertains to Ricklinger Teiche.

At the west end of Willmerstrasse, all traffic must turn right (north). That is why the blue line that draws the driving route includes three turns in what would otherwise be a straight-ahead route.
This placemark pertains to Ricklinger Teiche.

A broad walking path runs along the north side of the large parking lot, and several short access trails through the trees connect the parking lot to the walking path.
Head west on the walking path and shortly you will cross a long blue footbridge over the river Leine. Just past the bridge, you will reach the junction of several paths.
Turn to the left. There are two parallel paths that go south toward the highway overpass. Follow the path that is farther to your right (west). Head south on this path and shortly you will cross under the highway (the B3/B6/B65). Just beyond the overpass, bear right onto a smaller side path. Continue short distance through the trees and you will emerge at the FKK meadow.
The total walk from the parking lot is about 400 meters.

Strandbad Maschsee
This sandy textile beach is at the far south end of a long lake called Maschsee.

The pond on which the FKK meadow is located is called Sieben-Meter-Teich.

Ohlenstedter Quellseen

Ohlenstedter Quellseen
The Ohlenstedter Quellseen are a collection of three small, adjacent lakes located to the north of Osterholz-Scharmbeck. This is a very popular recreation area, and the lakes are surrounded by holiday cottages. Sandy beach areas are built up along much of the lakeshore of all three lakes. Almost all of the lakeshore is for textile bathing. The exception is a small cove toward the southwestern corner of the lakes that is a designated FKK area. Space at the FKK area is quite limited.
An admission fee of several euros per person is charged. When you pay the fee, watch for a sign pointing out the FKK area.

This placemark, at coordinates 53.2729, 8.7601 (Map It), is pinpointed along route K46 in a rural area in the northern part of the municipality of Osterholz-Scharmbeck. This is the location of the turnoff onto Dorfstrasse (a.k.a. K16), which is the road that goes north toward Ohlenstedter Quellseen and the village of Hülseberg.
Assume that you approach from Osterholz-Scharmbeck. You will mostly likely start from the B74, which is the most significant route through the town. The B74 skirts the west and north sides of Osterholz-Scharmbeck. From the B74, take the exit signed for Hülseberg, then follow route K46 north about 4 kilometers and you will reach this pinpointed location at the point where K46 begins to make a long curve toward the left. When you reach the start of that curve, turn right onto Dorfstrasse.
Follow Dorfstrasse north, passing through Hülseberg. After 2 kilometers, the entrance to Ohlenstedter Quellseen will be to your right, while the turnoff to the large, grassy parking area will be to your left, across the street from the entrance.

Sorpesee

Sorpesee
Sorpesee is a long lake near Sundern and Arnsberg that is surrounded by a number of camping and vacation establishments. A few of the coves toward the southern end of the lake, along the eastern shore, are frequented by nude bathers. The landmark that is an important starting point for finding the nude area is the bridge over the dam that spans the lake near its southern end. This structure is called Vorstaubeckens (pinpointed). (It should not be confused with the much larger dam that forms the northern end of the lake.) The part of the lake that is on the south side of Vorstaubeckens is surrounded by the development of Amecke, but there is no development in the immediate area to the north of the bridge and dam. From the eastern side of Vorstaubeckens, a broad trail begins and runs north along the eastern shore of the lake. (Google Maps labels it Randweg.) Follow this trail about a kilometer and you'll find the FKK area. Watch closely for "FKK" painted in white on the trees.

Langscheid, Sundern/Sauerland, Germany
Langscheid is a village within the municipality of Sundern, which is commonly written as "Sundern/Sauerland" or "Sundern (Sauerland)." Langscheid is a resort town located at the northern end of Sorpesee. This placemark, at coordinates 51.3550, 7.9643 (Map It), is pinpointed at the east end of Langscheid at the junction of L687 (the north-south route) with L544 (the road to the west that goes into Langscheid) and K34 (the road to the east). This junction is near the dam the forms the northern end of the lake.
From this junction, head south on L687. You will be traveling along the western shoreline of Sorpesee. After about 7.3 kilometers, you will cross over a small dam called Vorstaubeckens, which divides the lake into two parts (and is not to be confused with the large dam at the north end of the lake). Immediately after crossing the dam, look to your left and you will see the start of a pedestrian/bicycle road that goes north along the eastern side of the lake. This is the route to the nude beach. To park, keep going along L687 another 300 meters to reach a large parking lot called Parkplatz Julianenhütte, which will be on the left.

Strand Himmelgeist

Strand Himmelgeist
Himmelgeist is a neighborhood of Düsseldorf that is about 7 kilometers south of the city center. Much of the surrounding area is a floodplain not suitable for urban development, so Himmelgeist has the character of a small village surrounded by farmland despite its proximity to dense urban neighborhoods. The undeveloped beach of Himmelgeist is a mix of sand and pebbles that extends several kilometers along the east bank of the Rhine, and the beach is sparsely populated except for the main point of entry.
The Rhine has many large kilometer markers that identify location, and the numbers get higher as you go downstream (generally north). The main textile part of the beach, which has the best area of sand, lies immediately south of a small passenger ferry ramp. The textile beach and the ramp are near kilometer 729. From the textile beach, go south (upstream, to the left when facing the river) about 10-15 minutes, and nudity becomes common near kilometer 728. Nudity is tolerated even though this area is apparently not a designated FKK area. Beyond kilometer 728, the beach is attended mostly by gay men.

This pinpointed location in Düsseldorf, at coordinates 51.1757, 6.8091 (Map It), is the turnoff from Münchener Strasse onto Ickerswarder Strasse. Münchener Strasse, the larger street, is the route of both L52 and L293, while Ickerswarder Strasse is numbered K4. This location is on the east side of the Rhine, about 6.5 kilometers south of the city center and 2.5 kilometers south of Exit 23 (Düsseldorf-Bilk) of the A46 autobahn. This is the middle of three turnoffs from Münchener Strasse toward the Düsseldorf neighborhood of Himmelgeist.
Turn onto Ickerswarder Strasse, heading southwest toward Himmelgeist. This will be a right turn if you come from the city center.
After 750 meters, you'll reach a 4-way junction. Turn left onto Steinkaul.
Go south 200 meters to the next junction. Turn right onto Alt-Himmelgeist.
Go west 250 meters to the next 4-way junction, which is with Nikolausstrasse. Beyond this junction, Alt-Himmelgeist continues about 200 meters farther to a passenger ferry crossing of the Rhine, and it is also the access road to the beach. However, the continuation of the road (see the green line) is closed to automobiles (except motorcycles). Look for streetside parking in the area, or turn left onto Nikolausstrasse and you'll reach a small parking lot about 150 meters past St. Nikolaus church.

Strandbad Xantener Südsee

Strandbad Xantener Südsee
Xantener Südsee is one of two large recreation lakes located just north of Xanten. The other lake, Xanterner Nordsee, is a little farther north, and both lakes lies just west of the Rhine.
The northwest part of Südsee is the location of a developed, sandy beach that winds about 800 meters along the lakeshore. Most of the length of the beach is along a narrow peninsula that juts southward into the lake. Most of the beach is textile, but part of the beach toward the end of the peninsula is a designated FKK area. Nudists spread out on the sandy beach and on the grassy lawn behind the beach.
Food concessions and other beach amenities are located in the textile zone. The entry fee is €4.50 per person.

Unterbacher See Südstrand

Unterbacher See Südstrand
Unterbacher See is a developed recreation lake next to the A46 autobahn, about 12 kilometers southeast of the center of Düsseldorf. The north shore of the lake (closer to the borough of Unterbach) has a camping area for tourists and a textile beach called Nordstrand. The south shore of the lake also has a camping area, but it is for permanent sites only, and the beach on the south shore is called Südstrand. This sandy beach is divided into two zones: one for textiles, one for nudists.
The nude beach is equipped with restrooms and showers, a volleyball court and a playground, and there is a roving snack vendor. Full cafeteria facilities are available across the lake at Nordstrand. The entrance fee is €3.30 per person, and the beach is open from early May to early September. The FKK beach is quite popular, and parking can be scarce on warm summer weekends.
Unterbach (Düsseldorf), Düsseldorf, Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 27 (Erkrath/Unterbach) of the A46 autobahn, located about 12 kilometers southeast of the center of Düsseldorf.
If you are heading east (toward Wuppertal) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 51.1917, 6.9085 (Map It), and it is the next exit after the A46/A59 interchange. At the end of the exit ramp, turn left onto Rothenbergstrasse.

Köln

Rheinufer, Mülheimer Brücke

Rheinufer, Mülheimer Brücke
Within the city of Cologne (Köln), nude bathing occurs at several location along the Rhine (Rheinufer = "Rhine shoreline"), most notably on the west bank north of a bridge called Mülheimer Brücke. This is the bridge over the Rhine that connects the urban district of Nippes (on the west bank) with the urban district of Mülheim (on the east bank).
Going north from Mülheimer Brücke on the west bank, the parklike shoreline extends about 3.3 kilometers along a peninsula of sorts. Near the tip of this peninsula, there is a pedestrian bridge called Niehler Hafen Brücke. Both Mülheimer Brücke and Niehler Hafen Brücke are pinpointed. Between these two bridges, there are various pockets of nude use all along the shoreline. There is no officially designated FKK are, but nudists and textiles tend to mix freely.
About 800 meters north of Mülheimer Brücke, there is a small forested area called Cranachwäldchen. The shoreline along this forested area is visited mostly by gay men. Beyond the small forest, the shoreline continues another 2 kilometers. The occurrence of nudity gradually decreases as you get closer to the Niehler Hafen bridge, and there are likely to be only textiles within several hundred meters of the pedestrian bridge.
Kuhweg 20, 50735 Köln, Germany
The above address is the location of the Schwarz-Weiss sports club (pinpointed), where there is a large parking lot. Walk around the edge of the sports club that is closest to Mülheimer Brücke (i.e, to your right if you are facing the entrance to the sports club) and you'll reach the west bank of the Rhine.

Zieselsmaar

Zieselsmaar
Zieselsmaar is a small lake that is administered by a naturist association called FamilienSportBund Erftland-Ville, who open it to the general public for a fee of about €4 per adult and a nominal charge for children. The entire lake is an FKK area, and nudity is obligatory. Everyone is welcome, but the atmosphere that is promoted is one that is safe for children and families, and inappropriate behavior is not tolerated. The "beach" is a large, grassy lawn on the north shore of the lake, and in this area there is also a café, a children's playground, a sandy volleyball court and other sports courts, and picnic tables.
Zieselsmaar is about 18 kilometers southwest of the center of Cologne.

Münster

Dortmund-Ems-Kanal

Dortmund-Ems-Kanal
The Dortmund-Ems canal is a very long canal (over 250 kilometers) that passes through the city of Münster. Within the city limits of Münster and about 10 kilometers north of the city center, part of the canal in the village of Gelmer is an FKK area.
The canal was constructed in the 1890's. Just north of Gelmer, a stretch of about 2 kilometers of the waterway was re-routed into a parallel channel in the 1930's. In more recent years, the old canal channel (parts of which are now dry) has evolved into a recreation area. The red line is drawn around the shoreline of a segment of the old canal that is now effectively a long, narrow pond. This pond stretches about 700 meters but is slightly less than 30 meters across.
Sunbathers gather along the shoreline of the pond—mostly along the southeastern shoreline, where there is more of a lawn than on the opposite side. Toward the southwest end of the pond (closer to Gelmer), the crowd tends to be textile. As you go to the northeast (away from Gelmer), nude bathing becomes more common.
If you keep going past the end of the pond (i.e., away from Gelmer), you will reach a historic aqueduct over the river Ems. The aqueduct, over 100 years old, is a handsome arched bridge, but it no longer carries water. (The newer, active aqueduct is less than 200 meters to the northwest, downstream.) It is possible to go down to the riverbank, and nude sunbathing also takes place along the Ems near the old aqueduct. The crowd along the Ems tends to be mostly gay men. The segment of the river in the immediate vicinity of the two aqueducts is drawn in aqua.
The German word Kanalüberführung, literally "canal bridge," is basically synonymous with "aqueduct." It is often abbreviated "KÜ." Locally, KÜ is often a shorthand way of referring to the FKK area in Gelmer.

Gelmer, Münster, Germany
Gelmer is a village in the Ost borough of the city of Münster. It is about 10 kilometers north of the city center.
Your most likely approach to Gelmer is via route L587, a.k.a. Schiffahrter Damm. This is a north-south street about 14-15 kilometers long that runs from central Münster to the A1 autobahn. The south end of the street is at coordinates 51.9672, 7.6564 (Map It), just east of the ring road around Münster. The north end of the street is near coordinates 52.0832,7.6449 (Map It), near Exit 76 (Greven) of the A1 autobahn.
This placemark is pinpointed at the exit from L587 to the village of Gelmer. If you are coming from Münster, you'll reach this exit 6.8 kilometers north of the start of L587, and the exit ramp is at coordinates 52.0242, 7.6814 (Map It). At the end of the ramp, turn left, cross under L587, then turn right at the next 4-way junction. You'll then be on Alte Schiffahrt, going north.
If you are coming from the Greven exit of the autobahn, you'll reach this exit 7.5 kilometers south of the autobahn, and the exit ramp is at coordinates 52.0260,7.6816 (Map It). The exit ramp takes you to a 4-way junction. Continue straight ahead and you'll be on Alte Schiffahrt, going north.
Once you are on Alte Schiffahrt (K18), go north about 250 meters, then take the first left onto Gittruper Strasse (which is still the route of K18). This is the road that goes northwest toward the hamlet of Gittrup.
At this point, take careful note of your distance. Follow Gittruper Strasse for 600 meters, then turn right onto a minor road. (If you reach the prominent bridge over the Dortmund-Ems Canal, you've missed your turn by 300 meters.)
About 100 meters after turning onto the minor road, you'll reach a "T" junction. Turn left. From this point, the road will bend sharply a few times over the next 300 meters and then arrive at the edge of the canal pond, at which point it will bend to the right and follow the shoreline of the pond. From this point, park anywhere alongside the road, which will end about 250 meters farther along next to a small group of storage tanks.

Blaue Adria

Blaue Adria
Blaue Adria is a small lake located west of the town of Altrip. The purple line outlines the shoreline of the actual Blaue Adria, but the other small lakes and ponds are often collectively called Blaue Adria as well. The sandy beach next to Hotel & Restaurant Darstein is textile. From the middle of this beach, a spit of land extends westward. This narrow, sandy peninsula is the main gathering place for nudists. There is also a long, narrow island that runs perpendicular to the spit. This island mainly draws gay men. There is also another peninsula that extends directly in front of the hotel, and it may draw a few nudists as well. All three nudists areas are pinpointed. There are restrooms and a snack stand on the textile beach.

Hotel & Restaurant Darstein

Some nudists wade to this long island.

Some nudists gather on this peninsula, out of view of the hotel and restaurant.

The town of Altrip lies on the west side of the Rhine River, which in this area is the border between the states of Rheinland-Pfalz and Baden-Württemberg. Apart from taking a ferry across the Rhine, Altrip must be approached from the west side of the river, either via route K13 from Waldsee or route K7 from Rheingönheim (which is a sub-district of Ludwigshafen). These directions presume that you approach via Waldsee (which can be accessed from two exits of route B9, Waldsee-Süd or Waldsee-Nord).
From Waldsee, follow K13 northeast toward Altrip. After about 5 kilometers, you will reach this pinpointed location, at coordinates 49.4176, 8.4873 (Map It), where the road forks. When you reach this point, stay straight ahead (i.e., keep toward the left). (Forking to the right would take you toward the center of Altrip.)
After this point, you will still be on K13, but you will be bypassing Altrip.
Continue 1.1 kilometers to a four-way intersection. Stay straight ahead through it. Continue 400 meters farther to another four-way intersection, then turn left onto An der Rennbahn. Follow this street west about a kilometer. It ends at Hotel & Restaurant Darstein, next to which is a large parking lot. The sandy textile beach is on the south side of the hotel.

Diezer Baggersee

Diezer Baggersee
The quarry lake of the town of Diez is exceptionally beautiful. The river Lahn runs next to the south side of the small lake, while the north side is backed by colorful red cliffs. The shoreline, with a circumference of about 850 meters, is precipitous. There is a ramp (in the textile area) that descends gradually into the water, and there are also several ladders a few meters high by which visitors can enter the water from the upper shoreline. Diving is prohibited.
The point of entry to the lake is on the south side, next to the river. There is a café in this area. Straight ahead is a large meadow on the west side of the lake, which is the main gathering space. This meadow can get very crowded on peak days, and it is textile. Facing the water at the textile area, go to the left aross the north shore of the lake to reach the FKK area. Look for the rocks with "FKK" painted in white letters. Although the FKK area is close to the parking lot, the setup is such that you have to make a loop around the lake through the textile area to reach the FKK area.
There is an entry fee of a few euros per person, and there is a small additional fee for parking.

Diez, Germany
The town of Diez lies just west of the larger town of Limburg an der Lahn. Both towns are accessible from Exit 42 (Limburg-Nord) or Exit 43 (Limburg-Süd) of the A3 autobahn. If you approach from the autobahn, as you head from Limburg an der Lahn toward Diez you'll be on a route that is shared by both B417 and B54. These two numbered route will diverge shortly after you enter Diez. Stay on the course of B417 and you'll go through the town center.
From the town center of Diez, follow B417 west (toward Altendiez). Just beyond the town center, you'll cross under a railway. One kilometer farther along, you'll cross a short bridge over the river Lahn. Just beyond the bridge, you'll reach a roundabout.
At the roundabout, you'll depart the course of B417. Take the third exit of the roundabout onto a street called In der Au. You'll be going southwest. After just 150 meters, keep to the left to stay on In der Au. Continue several hundred meters farther and you'll reach the grassy parking area for Diezer Baggersee.

Niederwiesenweiher

Niederwiesenweiher
Niederwiesenweiher is a small lake surrounded by farmland. It is located about halfway between Schifferstadt and Böhl-Iggelheim and about 23 kilometers southwest of Mannheim, the closest city. The lake is roughly rectangular, spanning a bit less than 200 meters north to south and 500 meters east to west. The main gathering place is a meadow with a sandy beach area along the east side of the lake, immediately south of the parking lot. This meadow is textile, and there is a snack stand in this area.
Nudity is common along the rest of the lake, especially toward the western end. This placemark is pinpointed along the peninsula that extends from the southern shore. There are also peninsulas and secluded meadow areas along the north and west shores. At any of these areas, the acceptability of nude bathing is often dictated by who was there first. There is a parking fee.

This pinpointed interchange, within the municipality of Schifferstadt, is Exit 62 (Schifferstadt) of the A61 autobahn. This location is about 20 kilometers southwest of Mannheim.
If you are heading south (toward Speyer) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 49.3941, 8.3406 (Map It), about 9.5 kilometers past the A650/A61 junction and 5.5 kilometers past the A65/A61 junction. Turn right at the end of the exit ramp.
If you are heading north (toward Köln) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 49.3903, 8.3408 (Map It), about 8 kilometers past the B9/A61 junction. Turn right at the end of the exit ramp and cross under the autobahn.
Once you have exited, you wll be on L532 heading southwest toward Böhl-Iggelheim. After about 1.7 kilometers, turn left onto K30, toward Schifferstadt. This is the first left you'll reach after leaving the autobahn.
Follow K30 east 500 meters, then turn right into the long Niederwiesenweiher parking lot. If you cross over the autobahn, you've missed the parking lot by about 500 meters.

In German-speaking Europe, Freibäder (Freibad in the singular form) are public outdoor swimming complexes that are open during warmer months. Freibäder are often elaborate affairs with multiple pools, water slides, sunbathing lawns and other amenities, and there is typically a small entry fee. While you will have to wear something for swimming, at some Freibäder part of the lawn or another area like a rooftop terrace is designated for nude sunbathing, and these areas are usually marked with "FKK" signs. The FKK areas are typically shielded from view by hedges, fences or other barriers. (The very small number of Freibäder that do offer nude swimming are categorized with nude beach listings.) Remember that there is NO NUDE SWIMMING at these locations.

FKK Lawn at Strandbad Hörnle
street address  Eichhornstrasse, 78464 Konstanz
ALTERNATE WEBSITE
FKK area precisely pinpointed at this location?  YES
NOTES  Although several sources describe this establishment as a Freibad, it is actually a Strandbad ("bathing beach") along the shore of Bodensee (a.k.a. Lake Contance). However, the setup of the FKK area is in line with what is described in the red type below. The FKK lawn is surrounded by hedges. However, some visitors do apparently bathe nude in the lake as well, even though they are visible to passersby on the lakeshore trail. So, as for the question of nude swimming, the best answers are "unofficially" or "maybe." Furthermore, the name Hörnle often gets shortened to just Horn.

FKK Lawn at Stollenwörthweiher
street address  Rheingoldstrasse 204, 68199 Mannheim
FKK area precisely pinpointed at this location?  YES
NOTES  Stollenwörthweiher is not a typical Freibad. It is an oblong lake, and the two "swimming pools" are protected areas of the lake surrounded by docks. Both pools are textile, and each pool is accessed from a different entrance.
The pool at the south end of the lake, at coordinates 49.4514, 8.4718 (Map It), is known simply as "Stollenwörthweiher." The street address is Rheingoldstrasse 204.
The pool along the western shore of the lake, at coordinates 49.4542, 8.4695 (Map It), is often called "Stollenwörthweiher II." The street address is Promenadenweg 4.
The FKK meadow is located between the two pools, toward the southern end of the western shore of the lake. The FKK area is accessed from the south pool (i.e., the Rheingoldstrasse entrance.) Facing the lake from the south pool, go to the left and shortly you'll reach the meadow. The FKK area has shade trees and a sandy volleyball court.
Tram (Strassenbahn) stop Stollenwörth (line 7) is directly in front of the Rheingoldstrasse entrance. This is the next-to-last stop of the tram line.

Sense River

Sense River
The Sense is a river that, for part of its length, flows through a scenic, wooded gorge. A segment of the river near the village of Schwarzenburg is popular with nudists. The naked zone of the river is about a half-hour drive south from Bern, Switerzerland's capital city.
To reach the nudist area, you'll be arriving on a minor road that crosses the Sense between the villages of Albligen and Lanzenhäusern. A covered wooden bridge for automobile traffic crosses the river along this road. When you park, you'll be on the west side of the river just south of the bridge. The area next to the parking lot is textile, but it does not take long to hike to secluded areas. In either direction from the parking lot, walk until you area out of view of the bridge. The river is shallow, and there are many broad gravel bars and some sandy areas as well.
This placemark is pinpointed south of the covered wooden automobile bridge (upstream; to the right when facing the river from the parking lot). This area is generally preferred by straight nudists. About a 1.5-kilometer walk upstream from the parking area, another covered wooden bridge (pinpointed) spans the river, but it is a pedestrian bridge. If you go around a bend and spot the pedestrian bridge, you should probably put something on. Around the next bend, the ruins of a castle sit atop the bluff on the east side of the river, and you should also not be naked within sight of castle visitors. If you care to keep hiking, there are more areas sufficiently secluded for nudity farther upstream.
Going back to the parking lot, if you hike downstream (north; to the left when facing the river from the parking lot), you'll cross under the covered wooden automobile bridge. Once you are out of view of the bridge, you'll reach the area generally preferred by gay nudists. At a walking distance of about 2.3 kilometers upstream from the parking area, there is an unusual house built into the cliff face, high above the river on the west side. A little beyond it, there is a suspended pedestrian bridge over the river, with a high-span automobile bridge visible farther in the background. If you go so far that any of these landmarks come into view, it is time to get dressed.
You'll be hiking across rocky terrain and wading through rivulets as you hike through the riverbed, so wear appropriate footwear.

Lake Lucerne: Axen Tunnel & Sisikon

Lake Lucerne, Axen Tunnel
Lake Lucerne (called Vierwaldstättersee in German) is a large lake with a peculiar shape. On the southeastern arm of the lake, the villages of the eastern shoreline are connected by Axenstrasse, a dramatic road which hugs the mountainside along many stretches. The modern route of Axenstrasse goes through many tunnels, but segments of the old original route are open as scenic overlooks.
About halfway between the villages of Flüelen and Sisikon, there is a tiny part of the lakeshore that is an informal FKK area. It may well be the world's smallest nude beach. It is situated below Axen Tunnel.
Assume that you are coming from Flüelen. You will heading north high above the lakeshore, and you will pass through Axen Tunnel. Once you emerge from the tunnel and park, return to the tunnel. You will be facing south, looking at the northern tunnel entrance (where a sign reads "Axen-Tunnel, 390 m"), and the lake will be to your right. Veer right onto a roadway that is immediately next to the tunnel entrance. This is part of the old Axenstrasse. Walk a short distance to a break in a low stone wall. The letters "FKK" are spray painted on one of the stones. This is the start of the trail that goes down to the lake. Follow the zig-zagging trail to the lakeshore. The walk takes about 15 minutes.
When you reach the bottom, there is a tiny flat area of pea gravel next to a small memorial with a cross. There really isn't much room at all for sunbathing, but it is a good spot to enter the water for a bracing naked swim. If you decide you need more room, there is another informal FKK site just a few kilometers to the north at Sisikon. The Sisikon site, while small, is considerably larger than the Axen Tunnel site. (Plus, parking is easier and the hike is shorter.)
The personal website fkkzone.ch has photos and maps of both the Axen Tunnel location and the Sisikon location.

Lake Lucerne, Sisikon
Lake Lucerne (called Vierwaldstättersee in German) is a large lake with a peculiar shape. On the southeastern arm of the lake, the villages of the eastern shoreline are connected by Axenstrasse, a dramatic road which hugs the mountainside along many stretches. The modern route of Axenstrasse goes through many tunnels, but segments of the old original route are open as scenic overlooks.
Just north of the village of Sisikon, there is a small, hidden beach that is an informal FKK area. (From a purely technical point of view, the beach is not in Sisikon. The boundary line of two cantons, Uri and Schwyz, goes between the village and the beach. However, Sisikon is by far the closest village to the beach.)
To get to the beach, you'll start from where the parking placemark is pinpointed, at the rear of the Avia gas station that is just north of Sisikon. You'll be between the main road and the railway. There is a short passageway under the railway. Follow it and you'll reach the lakeshore. Turn right and walk north. In slightly less than 200 meters, you'll cross over the mouth of a small stream. Shortly beyond the stream you'll reach the nude beach, where "FKK" is spray painted on a large rock. The green line is a roughly approximation of the trail, and the walk takes just 5 or so minutes.
The beach is a narrow band of pebbles that is roughly 50 meters long. A much smaller and harder-to-access FKK area is located several kilometers to the south, beneath the Axen Tunnel. The personal website fkkzone.ch has photos and maps of both the Sisikon location and the Axen Tunnel location.

There are 6 placemarks related to these nearby sites: Lake Lucerne, Axen Tunnel and Lake Lucerne, Sisikon.

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 36 (Altdorf) of the A2 autobahn at the far southeastern end of Lake Lucerne.
If you are heading south (toward Italy) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 46.8905, 8.6170 (Map It). If you are heading north (toward Luzern) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 46.8865, 8.6206 (Map It).
All exiting traffic is filtered to the same location. Once the exit lanes coming in from opposing directions merge, the road will begin to curve rightward and head east toward a steep mountain slope. Shortly you will cross under a railway, then immediately thereafter you will reach a roundabout.
If you take the second exit of the roundabout (straight ahead), you will enter Flüeler Tunnel, which is a long tunnel (2.6 kilometers) that is part of Route 2. This tunnel bypasses the village of Flüelen. If you take the third exit of the roundabout (effectively a left turn), you will begin to head north through the village of Flüelen, parallel to the lakeshore and the railway. It does not matter which option you take. The road through the village is part of the route drawn in blue. The route of Flüeler Tunnel is drawn in orange.
About 2.6 kilometers north of the roundabout, the road through the village will merge into Route 2 (the road through the tunnel). At that point, you will be on a dramatic part of the road that hugs the mountainside. About 500-600 meters farther along, you will enter the 354-meter-long Zingel Tunnel. Just a few hundred meters past the end of the Zingel Tunnel, you will enter the 390-meter-long Axen Tunnel.
If you are going to the Axen Tunnel site, be sure to slow down as you approach the end of the tunnel.
To go to the Axen Tunnel site:
Immediately upon exiting Axen Tunnel, you need to park, if possible. There is room for a few cars on the right (inland) side of the road. There are also a few parking places on the left (lake) side of the road, but you cannot turn left when you exit Axen Tunnel. If you continue north past Axen Tunnel, you will cross a high-span bridge, then shortly thereafter you will enter another tunnel. At first, this tunnel is not enclosed on the left (lake) side. Just before the entrance to the completely enclosed part of tunnel, turn left and you'll emerge at Tellsplatte (pinpointed), which is an area with parking, eateries and a few small hotels. At Tellsplatte, you can turn around. Backtracking, as you head south, veer to the right immediately before the entrance to Axen Tunnel. Since parking is very limited, it may be necessary to park at Tellsplatte and return to Axen Tunnel on foot.
To go to Sisikon: (continued in aqua)
From Axen Tunnel, continue north, passing through five more tunnels (the first of which is tunnel at Tellsplatte described above). After about 2.5 kilometers, just as you emerge from the last of these tunnels, you will arrive in the village of Sisikon. From the tunnel exit, continue north about 600 meters. Watch carefully for two road signs on the left (lake) side on the road, stacked one above the other, about 100 meters before an Avia gas station. The top panel is a priority road sign, which is a yellow diamond. The bottom panel is a "no passing" sign, which is a red, white and black circle. Turn left at these signs. You will be on a very small gravel track that runs between the road and the railway, and you will descend very slightly below the level of the road. Continue just under 100 meters and park beneath the Avia station. When you park, you will see a path that goes underneath the railway. This is the access to the beach.
This placemark pertains to Lake Lucerne, Axen Tunnel and Lake Lucerne, Sisikon.

There is very limited parking on either side of the road immediately past the northern end of Axen Tunnel. Heading north, you will not be able to turn left into parking on the lake side of the tunnel. You'll have to keep going until you can turn around. Backtracking toward the tunnel (going south), veer right just before the tunnel entrance.
This placemark pertains to Lake Lucerne, Axen Tunnel.

Maggia at Avegno

Maggia at Avegno
The Maggia is a shallow river that flows southward through the scenic Maggia Valley, emptying into Lago Maggiore, a large lake that lies partly is Switzerland but mostly in Italy. In the village of Avegno, about 8 to 9 kilometers upstream from the mouth of the river at the lake, there is a spot along the Maggia that is a gathering place for nudists. The nudist area is just north of a textile campground called Camping Piccolo Paradiso. Nudity occurs only in a fairly limited area of 100 or so meters. Two pinpointed landmarks—the campground to the south and a waterfall to the north—are beyond the area where nudity occurs. The riverbank in the nudist area is very rugged, strewn with boulders, with small patches of sand here and there.
Nudity is not officially allowed. In fact, along the short path to the river that leaves from the bus stop (see the driving directions), there is a sign announcing in Italian and German that nudity is forbidden. However, the sign does not seem to be a deterrent, nor does there seem to be any anti-nudity enforcement.
The nude beach at Avegno is just 8 to 9 kilometers from other nudist sites along the Melezza (a tributary of the Maggia). The Melezza sites are described in another listing.
The Maggia and Melezza locations are in the canton of Ticino, which is the only part of Switzerland where Italian is the predominant language of the entire canton.
Avegno Gordevio, Vallemaggia, Ticino, Switzerland

This placemark, at coordinates 46.2052, 8.7430 (Map It), is pinpointed at bus stop Avegno/Paese, which is the main bus stop for the small village of Avegno. This bus stop is the landmark for finding the short trail down to the river.
To reach Avegno, you will be approaching from the south, going north. (It is possible to keep going quite a distance north of Avegno, but there are no through routes over the high mountains.) The most likely approach to Avegno involves first going west through the towns that are on north shore of Lago Maggiore. There are two routes you can take: national Route 13 or the A13 motorway. (Note that the segment of the A13 that is near Lago Maggiore is to the west of the A2, and this segment is not continuous with the longest stretch of the A13, which lies to the east of the A2.)
If you follow national Route 13, you will pass through Minusio, Muralto and Locarno, which are continuous lakeshore towns. If you take the A13, most of your route will be through the very long Mappo-Morettina Tunnel (5.5 kilometers). Just past the end of the tunnel, the A13 and Route 13 merge. The point where they merge, at coordinates 46.1627, 8.7830 (Map It), is at a bridge over the river Maggia (between Locarno and Ascona).
Once you cross the bridge, take the next possible exit, which you'll reach within a few hundred meters. This exit is signed for Losone and Centovalli.
After you exit, you will at first follow signs for Centovalli, passing through Salduno. When you reach Ponte Brolla (about 4 kilometers after exiting), traffic toward Centovalli turns left across the bridge. Do NOT turn. Stay straight ahead another 2.8 kilometers to Avengo.
Refer to the map linked below for the driving route.
MAP TO AVEGNO (starting from the A13 bridge at Locarno/Ascona)
As you get close to Avegno, watch on the left for Camping Piccolo Paradiso (pinpointed). The Avegno/Paese bus stop is a few hundred meters farther. Once you've found the bus stop, look for parking nearby. We are not able to pinpoint a specific parking area.

Melezza at Golino & Melezza Gorge

Melezza at Golino
As the river Melezza flows from Italy eastward into Switzerland, it flows through a beautiful gorge. That gorge ends in the vicinity of Intragna and Golino, villages which are on opposite sides of the Melezza. Intragna is the uphill village on the north side of the river, while Golino is on the south side in the valley. Just past the end of the gorge, a tributary called the Isorno flows into the Melezza. The area of this confluence has become a popular nudist area.
As you approach from the village of Golino, you will intersect a road that runs along the river. At this "T" junction, walk to the left (west, upstream) just 100 meters or so, then cut through the trees to the riverbed. You'll be on a wide part of the riverbed where there is an island of trees in the middle. Looking toward these trees, veer toward the opposite shore of the river and you'll be in the nudist area. Toward the north side of the riverbed at the confluence with the Isorno, there are beautiful, deep pools in the otherwise shallow river.
Nudity is well established in the area of the confluence, and nudists and textiles tend to coexist without problems even when textiles are a majority. However, this site is not without controversy. Nudity is not officially allowed, and there has been a bit of backlash against nudity at this easily accessible location that is not well hidden from public view. Local authorities have stated that, while nudity is unofficially tolerated in secluded upstream areas of the Melezza Gorge, nudity is not allowed at Golina. Nonetheless, nudists continue to attend this site, and thus far there seems to have been no serious attempts at anti-nudity enforcement.
Another placemark details the more secluded upstream area of the Melezza, which requires more effort to reach.
This site is located in the canton of Ticino, which is the only part of Switzerland where Italian is the predominant language of the entire canton.
Centovalli, Locarno, Ticino, Switzerland
There are 13 placemarks related to these nearby sites: Melezza at Golino and Melezza Gorge.

Melezza Gorge
The Melezza is a 40-kilometer-long river that originates in Italy and flows eastward through Switzerland. The part of the river that lies within Italy is spelled with an "o" at the end, and it is called the Eastern Melezzo (Melezzo Orientale in Italian; östlicher Melezzo in German). Once it flows into Switzerland, it is the Melezza with an "a" at the end. The Melezza flows into the Maggia, and less than 5 kilometers after the confluence the Maggia empties into Lago Maggiore, a large lake on the south side of the Alps that is partly in Switzerland but mostly in Italy.
Part of the Melezza has long been popular with nudists even though there is not an officially designated nudist area. Nudists gather along part of the Melezza that is roughly 5 to 7 kilometers upstream from its confluence with the Maggia. This part of the river lies in a very deep and very scenic gorge. The river has various pools that are deep enough for swimming, and there are various gravel bars, rock ledges and boulders for sunbathing. The nude area does not have definitive boundaries, but three bridges (all pinpointed) that span the Melezza are landmarks for understanding the area.
The easternmost bridge is an automobile bridge that connects the villages of Intragna and Golino. This bridge is located at the point where the gorge opens up to the valley in which Golino is situated. (Another placemark details a nudist area at Golino which is downstream from Golino-to-Intragna bridge.)
About 1.5 kilometers upstream from (i.e., west of) the Golino-to-Intragna bridge, there is a footbridge called the Ponte Romano. It is a beautiful, ancient Roman bridge made of stone that makes a single arch across the gorge. This is the landmark most associated with the nude area. Hiking all the way through the gorge from Golino would be very challenging, so it is better to descend to the bridge from the mountain road (see the blue line) that runs along the north side of the gorge. The lightning-bolt-shaped green line is a conceptual representation of the downhill trail, which is about 400-500 meters long. If you have to walk all the way from Intragna, you can follow a trail that parallels the road and the railway until you reach the Ponte Romano trail. This will add about 600 meters to your walk.
About 1.2 kilometers farther upstream from the Ponte Romana, there is a suspension footbridge across the river, below the hamlet of Corcapola. It is possible to hike down to this bridge from Corcapola.
This placemark is pinpointed about halfway between the two footbridges. There are likely to be nudists scattered in the area between the footbridges as well as farther upstream and downstream. Both bridges are parts of hiking trails that cross the river, so it is probably best not to be naked within eyesight of either bridge. Once you start exploring the gorge, you will be in a narrow, rocky riverbed, so expect a certain amount of boulder scrambling and wading.
The Melezza gorge is located in the canton of Ticino, which is the only part of Switzerland where Italian is the predominant language of the entire canton.

There are 13 placemarks related to these nearby sites: Melezza at Golino and Melezza Gorge.

This placemark, at coordinates 46.1781, 8.7152 (Map It), is pinpointed at the edge of the small village of Golino.
Golino is located 11 kilometers east of the Italian border, via a minor road through the mountains. The village is situated such that the only approach from within Switzerland involves going west through the towns that are on north shore of Lago Maggiore. There are two routes you can take: national Route 13 or the A13 motorway. (Note that the segment of the A13 that is near Lago Maggiore is to the west of the A2, and this segment is not continuous with the longest stretch of the A13, which lies to the east of the A2.)
If you follow national Route 13, you will pass through Minusio, Muralto and Locarno, which are continuous lakeshore towns. If you take the A13, most of your route will be through the very long Mappo-Morettina Tunnel (5.5 kilometers). Just past the end of the tunnel, the A13 and Route 13 merge. The point where they merge, at coordinates 46.1627, 8.7830 (Map It), is at a bridge over the river Maggia (between Locarno and Ascona).
Once you cross the bridge, take the next possible exit, which you'll reach within a few hundred meters. This exit is signed for Losone and Centovalli. Once you exit, you will pass through Losone as you go northwest toward Golino.
Refer to the map linked below for the driving route.
MAP TO GOLINO (starting from the A13 bridge at Locarno/Ascona)
To go to the Golino site: (drawn in aqua)
When you reach Golino, there is a road that veers off to the right, going through the village center (look for the church bell tower) before reconnecting to the main road. Follow this road about 150 meters, then turn right amid the dense cluster of buildings at the village center. After another 150 meters, you will reach a "T" junction with a road runs parallel to the river. At this point, the nude beach is a few hundred meters to your left (west). Look for parking wherever it is available.
To go to the Melezza Gorge: (drawn in a blue)
Continuing past Golino, the village that is straight ahead and uphill is Intragna. You are heading there. Just past Golino, you'll cross a bridge. After the bridge, you'll zigzag uphil, and you'll pass through the Intragna village center after crossing a railway. On the far (west) end of the village, on the left (south) side of the road, take note of a parking lot. It is identifiable by a stairwell that has a cylindrical covering and red trim, and there are restrooms with red doors. This is not the closest parking to the trails that descend into the gorge, but since parking is so limited, keep it in mind as backup option.
Continue about 600-700 meters farther (toward Italy) and there is a small parking lot on the left. From here, you can access the trail that descends to Ponte Romano.
About 1.5 kilometers farther west, there is limited roadside parking at the hamlet of Corcapolo. From here, you can access the trail that descends to the pinpointed suspension footbridge.
This placemark pertains to Melezza at Golino and Melezza Gorge.

Lac de Neuchâtel: VD8 & Petite Amérique

Plage du VD8
Lac de Neuchâtel is a large, long lake (about 40 kilometers) that lies in the far west of Switzerland, in the francophone part of the country. (The lake is called Neuenburgersee in German.) There are no officially designated nudist areas along the lake, but there are two established areas where there is informal tolerance for nude bathing. Oddly enough, although Lake Neuchâtel has over 80 kilometers of shoreline, its two established nude beaches are just 4 kilometers apart. There is an informal nude beach on each side of the town of Yvonand. This placemark pinpoints the beach that is on the west side of town. (Another placemark details the other beach.)
VD8 is the name of a camping establishment that is just west of Yvonand and about 6 kilometers east of the much larger town of Yverdon-les-Bains. VD8's associated beach is operated as a public beach, with a restaurant and other amenities. At VD8, there are a series of about a dozen dikes that extend a short distance into the lake, creating small bays. Toward the eastern end, one of the bays contains the sandy beach that is the main textile beach. Just under a kilometer west of the main beach (to the left when facing the water), nudity is informally tolerated at the last of the bays. Visitors used to park along the road and hike directly to the nude area, bypassing the central part of VD8, but that is no longer possible since roadside parking is now prohibited. At the large VD8 lot, parking is free for the first two hours and inexpensive thereafter. Beyond the last of the dikes, nudity continues in the reedy area. This part of the lakeshore is occupied mostly by gay men.

Plage de la Petite Amérique
Lac de Neuchâtel is a large, long lake (about 40 kilometers) that lies in the far west of Switzerland, in the francophone part of the country. (The lake is called Neuenburgersee in German.) There are no officially designated nudist areas along the lake, but there are two established areas where there is informal tolerance for nude bathing. Oddly enough, although Lake Neuchâtel has over 80 kilometers of shoreline, its two established nude beaches are just 4 kilometers apart. There is an informal nude beach on each side of the town of Yvonand. This placemark pinpoints the beach that is on the east side of town. (Another placemark details the other beach.)
There is an undeveloped beach at the eastern edge of Yvonand, about 10 kilometers east of the much larger town of Yverdon-les-Bains. With no signs pointing the way, it is off the beaten path and quite hidden away, visited only by those in the know. It does not seem to have a proper name, but it is sometimes called "Petite Amérique" after the side street through which it is accessed. The beach is a narrow ribbon of sand, about 100 meters long, that is backed by a band of trees. Although some textiles visit, nudists and textiles coexist, with nudists generally going to the far (west) end. If only textiles are present, there are other niches that can be explored.
The green line is an approximation of the walking route to the beach. At the end of Chemin de la Petite Amérique, cross over the railway. You'll immediately reach a broad, well-defined path than runs parallel to the railway. Turn right onto this path. Continue just a minute or so, then turn left onto a smaller side path that goes through the woods. Follow this path to the lake. At the lakeshore, turn left and go west a short distance to the beach. The total walk is about 700 meters.

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 25 (Yverdon-Sud) of the A1 motoway, near the southwestern end of Lac de Neuchâtel.
If you are heading southwest (toward Lausanne and Geneva) when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 46.7622, 6.6466 (Map It). (The next exit before Exit 25 is Exit 26 for Estavayer-le-Lac, and these two successive exits are about 20 kilometers apart. Along the stretch between the two, you will pass through several tunnels, the two longest of which are each 3 kilometers long. The second 3-kilometer long-tunnel is the Pomy tunnel. You will reach Exit 25 immediately upon exiting this tunnel.) At the end of the exit ramp, follow signs point toward Yverdon and Thierrens. You'll go through a roundabout, cross under the motorway to the south side, go through another roundabout, then cross under the motorway again back to the north side. At that point, you should be on Route 5.
If you are heading northeast (toward Bern) when you exit, Exit 25 is just past the A1/A5 junction. The exit ramp is at coordinates 46.7607, 6.6413 (Map It). (If you enter the Pomy tunnel, you've missed the exit, and the next exit is 20 kilometers ahead.) At the end of the exit ramp, you'll reach a roundabout. Take the second exit of the roundabout, following the sign pointing toward Yverdon and Thierrens. Shortly you will cross under the motorway to the north side. At that point, you should be on Route 5.
Once you are on Route 5, having crossed under the motorway to its north side, take note of your distance and follow Route 5 north for 1.8 kilometers.
Veer right at the blue panel that points toward Fribourg, Payerne and Estavayer. (You'll then be on Avenue des Quatre Marronniers, going east.)
Continue about 400 meters, then keep to the right, merging into Rue de Clendy. (Another blue panel points toward Fribourg, Payerne and Estavayer.)
About 200 meters later, you'll reach a roundabout. Take the third exit (again following a blue panel for Fribourg, Payerne and Estavayer).
Just after you leave the roundabout, you'll cross over a railway. Just beyond it, keep to the right (again following a blue panel for Fribourg, Payerne and Estavayer).
At this point, you will be on Route de Payerne, heading east-northeast, following the shoreline of Lac de Neuchâtel. There are no more turns until you are ready to park. Take note of your distance at the railway, the proceed 5.4 kilometers and you'll reach the turnoff to VD8 camping.
To go to Plage du VD8: (continued in orange)
Turn toward VD8 camping (the sign has a tent symbol and "VD8"). From the direction of your approach, the turnoff is literally to the left, but you'll first veer right since it is a "jug handle" junction. Follows signs to the large parking lot that is next to the public beach at VD8.
To go to Plage de la Petite Amérique: (continued in aqua)
Continue east beyond the VD8 turnoff. 1.7 kilometers farther along, take note of your distance when you cross a small creek in the town of Yvonand (just past a Tamoil gas station).
Continue straight ahead another 1.2 kilometers and watch for the Agrola gas station on the left. Turn left immediately past the gas station. (Maps label the street as Chemin de la Petite Amérique. A sign points toward "ZI Au Marais." The turnoff is toward the eastern edge of Yvonand, so you've missed it if you leave behind the town development.) There is parking along Chemin de la Petite Amérique next to the tennis courts. The street dead ends after 300 meters.

Zürich & Zug

Badeplatz Choller

Badeplatz Choller
Badeplatz Choller is a hidden beach tucked away in a cove at the far north end of a lake called Zugersee. The beach is located within the town limits of Zug, to the northwest of the town center, but it is actually closer to the town center of neighboring Cham. The beach is quite small—your back yard may well be bigger—and all of it designated as FKK. Although it lacks any amenities, Badeplatz Choller is popular and can feel crowded with just a few dozen people. Swimming is popular since there is an ample area of shallow water. This page on a personal website has a few photos of the beach.
S-bahn station Zug Chollermüli (line S1) is located just east of the parking lot.

Zug, [n/a], Zug, Switzerland

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 2 (Zug) of the A4a autobahn in Zug. Note that the A4a is an east-west spur of the A4, which is an autobahn that runs more or less north to south. This location is about 28 kilometers south-southwest of Zürich.
If you are heading east when you exit (i.e., coming from the A4), Exit 2 is the first exit after you leave the A4. The exit ramp is at coordinates 47.1953, 8.4680 (Map It). Turn right at the end of the exit ramp.
If you are heading west when you exit (i.e., going toward the A4), the exit ramp is at coordinates 47.1900, 8.4771 (Map It). Turn left at the end of the exit ramp and cross over the autobahn.
At this point, you should be on an unnumbered road, heading southeast toward Zug. After about 600-700 meters, you will reach a major four-way intersection. Continue straight ahead (toward Zug). (Once you have gone through the intersection, the road will be part of a route that is numbered both 4 and 25.)
About 400 meters farther along, you will cross under a railway. Continue another 400 meters and take the next possible right onto Sagistrasse. (If you reach the point where route 4/25 begins to runs directly alongside the railway, you've missed your turn by about 200 meters.)
Once you've turned onto Sagistrasse, in about 100 meters you'll cross under the railway again. Take the next right turn thereafter into the parking lot.
This placemark pertains to Badeplatz Choller.

The path to the beach begins at the far (west) end of the parking lot. The path runs perpendicular to the railway. When you reach the lakeshore, the path makes a "T" with another path. Turn left and go through the trees. Shortly you will arrive at the beach. The total walk is just under 500 meters.
This placemark pertains to Badeplatz Choller.

Brauiweiher

Brauiweiher
Brauiweiher is a large recreation pond in a rural area between the villages of Illnau and Weisslingen, about 24 kilometers east of Zürich. Nudity is tolerated in the meadow on the south side of the pond, even though there is not an officially desingated FKK area. Other parts of the pond are strictly textile. Vegetation at the shoreline provides a privacy shield for the FKK meadow. Discretion may be called for if entering the water naked. With your back to the road at the parking lot, you can follow the lakeshore in a clockwise direction and you'll be on broad walking paths all the way to the meadow (see the green line). The walk is about 750 meters. There is no entry fee, and there is a restaurant on the other side of the road.
Weisslingen, Pfäffikon, Zürich, Switzerland

This placemark pertains to Brauiweiher.

Illnau, Illnau-Effretikon, Switzerland
The village of Illnau is located about 22 kilometers east of Zürich. The most direct route to Illnau from the Zürich area involves going northeast (toward Winterthur) on the A1/A4 autobahn. (The two autobahns share a route in the Zürich area.) Leave the autobahn at Exit 67 (Effretikon/Kemptthal). All exiting traffic is filtered onto an unnumbered road that goes south. A sign indicates that Rapperswil, Pfäffikon and Illnau are straight ahead. Keep straight ahead for 4.5 kilometers and you'll reach a roundabout in the center of Illnau, where this placemark is pinpointed. It is the only roundabout in the village.
Keep straight ahead (south) through the roundabout. Less than 100 meters farther along, take the next possible left onto Weisslingerstrasse.
Weisslingerstrasse goes north and east toward the village of Weisslingen. 2.6 kilometers after turning, you will skirt the edge of the hamlet of Agasul. Continue about 300 meters past Agasul (still toward Weisslingen) to the Brauiweiher parking lot, which is one the right (south) side of the road.
This placemark pertains to Brauiweiher.

Katzensee

Katzensee
Katzensee (also spelled "Chatzensee") refers to two large ponds in the far north of Zürich. Actually, the urban border of Zürich runs directly through the middle of both ponds, so technically only the southern half of each pond lies with the city. The western pond is Unterer Katzensee, while the eastern is Oberer Katzensee.
The larger western pond has a circumference of less than 2 kilometers, and on the southern shore of this pond there is a small but popular bathing establishment with a grassy lawn that spans roughly 150 meters of the shoreline. The western end is designated as FKK. The green line indicates the path from the parking lot to the meadow. As you approach the meadow, you will go by a tall wooden fence on your left. The FKK area is on the other side of the fence. The approximate boundaries are shaded in red. The FKK area is quite small, with a small opening to the pond.
The green paddle placemark is pinpointed in the part of the textile meadow that opens directly to the pond. In the rest of the textile area (next to the FKK area), there are tall reeds at the waterline. This setup allows FKK patrons to enter the water nude but not be visible to textiles.
There is no admission fee, and there is a snack stand in the textile area.

This pinpointed interchange is Exit 61 (Zürich-Affoltern) of the A1/A4 autobahn in Zürich. This location is in the far north of the city, near the urban limits, about 10 kilometers north of the city center. Note that the A1 and the A4 share the same route as the autobahn goes east-west across the northern outskirts of Zürich.
If you are heading east when you exit, you will reach Exit 61 just after passing through the 3.2-kilometer-long Gubrist Tunnel. The exit ramp is at coordinates 47.4251, 8.4864 (Map It). At the end of the exit ramp, turn left and cross under the autobahn.
If you are heading west when you exit, the exit ramp is at coordinates 47.4270, 8.4988 (Map It). (If you reach the Gubrist Tunnel, you've missed the exit.) Turn right at the end of the exit ramp.
Once you have exited, you will be on Route 17, going north toward Regensdorf. Continue a very short distance to the next four-way intersection, where there is a traffic light. Turn right, following a blue and white sign with a "P" indicating a parking area. (This turn is opposite the autobahn access.)
Shortly after you turn, the road will bend sharply to the left and lead to the paved parking lot for Katzensee.
(If you miss the turn toward parking and continue north on Route 17, you'll see the parking lot on the right. However, you cannot turn into the lot directly from Route 17. You'll have to backtrack to the traffic light.)

Strandbad Niederuster

Strandbad Niederuster
Greifensee is the name of both a large lake that is located southeast of Zürich and a town that is on the eastern side of the lake. There is a small area of the lake that is designated for FKK use. The FKK area is next to Strandbad Niederuster, which is located in the town of Uster, toward the southern end of the eastern shoreline.
Straight ahead from the main parking lot, there is a small ferry port (pinpointed), from which there is boat shuttle service to three other places on the lake (Maur, Mönchaltorf and the town of Greifensee). The main (textile) part of Strandbad Niederuster is immediately south of the ferry port. It is an enclosed space with a lakeside swimming pool, and a fee is required to enter.
The FKK area is outside the fee area. Facing the lake at the ferry port, turn to the right and follow the broad paved path that goes north. To your right, there is a large, mostly treeless meadow. To your left, there is a line of trees and other vegetation obscuring your view of the lake. The FKK area is the band of shoreline just beyond the trees, which form a privacy screen. After walking just a few minutes, cut through the trees and you're there. If you reach the point about 600 meters from the ferry port where the lakeshore trees thin out, giving you a clear view of the lake, you've gone past the FKK area.
The FKK area is a vary narrow strip of lakeshore that is mostly grassy, with patches of gravel. Swimming is allowed. A common visitor complaint is that the FKK zone disappears altogether at times when the lake level is above normal. If you park in the lot by the water treatment plant, you will be approaching from the opposite direction of the description above. Heading south along the lakeshore from the water treatment plant, you'll reach the trees that shield the FKK area after just a few hundred meters.
There are restrooms nearby in either direction from the FKK area, and there is a snack stand at the main part of Strandbad Niederuster. The snack stand is situated such that is not necessary to pay the fee to enter the enclosed area.
Uster, Uster, Zürich, Switzerland

main textile area (enclosed; fee required)
This placemark pertains to Strandbad Niederuster.

The town of Uster is located to the southeast of Zürich, a driving distance of about 23 kilometers from the city center. The quickest route from Zürich to Uster involves going east on the A1/A4 autobahn then going southeast on the A53 autobahn. There are three exits for Uster from the A53. Going northwest to southeast, they are Exit 5 (Uster-West), Exit 6 (Uster-Nord) and Exit 7 (Uster-Ost). (The A53 temporarily terminates at Exit 7. The segment beyond Exit 7 is not yet complete, but another segment of the A53 exists farther to the southeast.)
This pinpointed interchange is Exit 5 (Uster-West) of the A53 autobahn.
If you are heading southeast when you exit, this is the first of the Uster exits. The exit ramp is at coordinates 47.3710, 8.7075 (Map It). Turn right at the end of the exit ramp.
If you are heading northwest when you exit, this is the last of the Uster exits. The exit ramp is at coordinates 47.3664, 8.7161 (Map It). Turn left at the end of the exit ramp and cross over the autobahn.
At this point, you will be heading south toward Uster on Winterthurerstrasse. After 1.6 kilometers, you will cross a railway. Less than 100 meters past the railway, take the next right onto Brandstrasse.
Follow Brandstrasse west 300-400 kilometers to a roundabout. Take the second exit of the roundabout (i.e., continue straight ahead). After the roundabout, you will be on Sonnenbergstrasse.
After 600 meters, Sonnenbergstrasse will make a long leftward curve and begin to go south. 500 meters beyond the curve, you will cross a small creek and immediately thereafter reach a roundabout.
Take the first exit of the roundabout (effectively a right turn). You will then be on Seestrasse, going west.
In 200 meters, Seestrasse will curve sharply rightward (to the north). After the curve, continue another 300 meters, the turn left onto Seeweg. (A sign above the street name indicates "Schiffsteg" and "Strandbad.")
Shortly after turning, there is a long parking lot on the right side of the street, and there is also streetside parking. Access to the beach is straight ahead at the end of the street.
(If parking is full, backtrack to Seestrasse, then continue north along Seestrasse about 750 meters. There is a parking lot on the right, opposite a water treatment plant.)

Werdinsel

Werdinsel
Werdinsel in an island in the river Limmat, located in the Höngg neighborhood of Zürich (about 6 to 7 kilometers northwest of the city center). The island is fairly small, about 800 meters long and just 175 meters across at its widest, tapering at both ends. Werdinsel is a popular summertime recreation area, and the far northwestern tip is designated as FKK. The triangle shaded in red shows the approximate extent of the FKK area. The FKK area includes a sandbar along the western side of the island. Depending on the water level, this sandbar can become a tiny island of its own, but it is quite easy to cross the intermittent rivulet. The FKK area draws a mostly male and heavily gay crowd, especially toward the far northern tip. There are restrooms and a food concession in the textile area.
Tram (Strassenbahn) stop Winzerstrasse (line 13), at coordinates 47.4037, 8.4864 (Map It), is literally just a few hundred meters from the FKK area, but the walking distance is about a kilometer.

The Europabrücke is an elevated thoroughfare in northwestern Zürich, about 5 kilometers from the city center. The entire span of Europabrücke, which is a bit more than one kilometer long, is drawn in aqua. If you followed the entire length of Europabrücke, going south to north, first you'd cross over a network of railways and a huge rail yard, then you'd cross over route 1 at the eastern terminus of autobahn A1h, then you'd cross over the river Limmat. The Europabrücke connects the neighborhood of Altstetten (on the south side of the river) to the neighborhood of Höngg (on the north side).
This placemark, at coordinates 47.3992, 8.4952 (Map It), is pinpointed at the northern end of Europabrücke where it crosses the Limmat.
Assuming you are heading north toward Höngg, continue to the traffic light at the "T" junction that is just past the end of the bridge. Turn left (west) onto WInzerstrasse.
You'll be on Winzerstrasse for just 100 meters. Just past the bus kiosk, take the next possible left onto Winzerhalde.
Shortly after turning onto Winzerhalde, the street will curve sharply to the right. At first, there are no parking spaces. Continue about 200 meters beyond the curve and you'll reach the beginning of a streetside parallel parking lane. The "P" parking placemark is pinpointed at the start of the parking lane. Park in the first available space. A pedestrian bridge that connects to the island is just 100 meters past where the parking lane begins.
Streetside parking is available for 700 meters, all the way to the end of Winzerhalde. Note that Winzerhalde is not a through street. The orange line is drawn along a segment that is closed to automobile traffic. If all parking spaces are taken, backtrack and look for parking along Winzerstrasse.
This placemark pertains to Werdinsel.

There are two pedestrian bridges that connects the street Winzerhalde to Werdinsel. Cross the one that is located just past the start of streetside parking. (There is no parking at the other bridge, which connects to the far southeastern end of the island.)
Once you are on the island, you'll reach a "T" with a broad path. Turn right. Follow the path northwest about 250 meters to another "T." Turn left and continue toward a blue suspension pedestrian bridge that is on the other side of the island. Before you reach the blue bridge, turn right and walk through the lawn. Shortly you'll reach the FKK area at the northwestern tip of the island.

The yellow sunburst symbol generally indicates swimming establishments that have designated nude sunbathing areas. Note that there is NO NUDE SWIMMING at these locations. Most of these establishments are Freibäder (Freibad in the singular form), which are public outdoor swimming complexes that are open during warmer months. Freibäder in German-speaking Europe are often elaborate affairs with multiple pools, water slides, sunbathing lawns and other amenities, and there is typically a small entry fee. While you will have to wear something for swimming, at some Freibäder part of the lawn or another area like a rooftop terrace is designated for nude sunbathing, and these areas are usually marked with "FKK" signs. The FKK areas are typically shielded from view by hedges, fences or other barriers. (A very small number of Freibäder that do offer nude swimming are categorized with nude beach listings, indicated by red "N" paddle placemarks.)
