List of Social Nudity Places in Europe - Germany

Germany

• Public nudity is not illegal in Germany but may be regulated by local authorities mostly because of safety and health issues, not morality. Apart from urban areas and public baths (which often offer nude swimming days), nude bathing is common in Germany: unofficial clothing optional areas exist at most lakes and rivers and other sites, such as abandoned sand and rock quarries.
• Many designated FKK areas exist at the seaside, at lakes and in baths, especially in the former East Germany, where nudism remains more widespread than in the west. Many unregulated clothing optional (FKK) free beaches are available along the Nordsee and Baltic seashores, Rügen and other islands. The attitude is: all beaches are nude beaches until somebody complains.
• Families especially like to spend their leisure time in naturist areas; sauna bathing is generally practiced in the nude.
• Even in cities there are clothing-optional areas, e.g. the riverside parks on the Rhine in Cologne (Köln), Bonn, Düessldorf, the public beach (Strandbad) at Tegeler See in Berlin, Schönfeldwiese in the Englischer Garten in Munich, near the city centre; also, the southern part of Feldmochinger See, in the northwestern suburb, the peninsula in Lake Feringasee in the Northeast and the Flaucher at the river Isar south of the city center of Munich.
• Baden-Baden German city located near the French border. This city has many natural mineral springs and numerous clothes free bath houses are located.
