What makes Teufelssee special
Teufelssee is not an official gay beach but a public lake where nudism has a long tradition and where part of the queer community meets. Visitors describe it as relaxed and mixed, but busy on hot days. There is no infrastructure, so bring your own water and food. Families and clothed bathers use other parts of the shore, so be considerate.
A good fit if you …
- want to swim naked and lie in the sun
- are looking for a day out in nature with no entry fee
Not ideal if you …
- expect a beach bar, loungers or showers
- aren’t comfortable with nudism
