Nudity in Germany: Here's the naked truth

"Today, there are about 600,000 Germans registered in more than 300 private nudist/FKK clubs and a further 14 affiliated clubs in Austria. Members visit these clubs to sunbathe nude or indulge in a spot of nacktjoggen or nacktwandern -- naked jogging or rambling through the countryside wearing only backpacks, boots or running shoes. ... Most FKK beaches on the coast will also have signs indicating textile-free zones. After passing these signs, visitors will need to disrobe immediately to avoid being reprimanded by thelifeguards who also enforce the rules.The easiest way to bare it all in Deutschland is to visit one of the aforementioned public FKK areas. As these are mostly located in areas with a mixed dressed/undressed crowd, there's no problem with partially disrobing until you feel comfortable. There are no changing rooms, so undressing takes place in public -- but again,not one German is going to be offended by this." Full article:www.cnn.com/travel/article/naked-germany/index.html
