Zoff around nudist beach on Lake Constance: conservationists raise the alarm!

In Austria, the introduction of an official nudist beach is currently being worked on on Lake Constance. The city of Bregenz is planning to formally legitimize the area on the multiple lake bank, where nude bathing has been practiced for decades. A corresponding nude bathing regulation is to be issued in order to take into account the already lived practice. However, these plans encounter concerns from conservationists who warn of possible negative effects on the adjacent nature reserve. According to a report by Bild.de from the environmental organization Alliance for Future is concerned about the possibility Ascents to nudist tourists from Switzerland, where nude bathing is prohibited.

The area said is known for its biological diversity and offers a habitat for numerous rare species, including the river rain pipes and the endangered Lake Constance Giss mein. In order to protect the sensitive habitats, the city of Bregenz plans to differentiate the nude pool area with wooden posts and set up informative signs. A focus is also on avoiding potential overcrowding, which puts nature conservation into the foreground.

Consideration of environmental concerns

The conservationists have made clear demands: Among other things, keeping a care across the coastal area and foregoing infrastructure such as toilets or gastronomy. This is to ensure that the area is not overflowed. Schuhböck emphasizes that the supporters of the nude bathing zone are not fundamentally against the project, but are demanding a responsible handling of the natural area. The district administration of Bregenz has already approved the project, and there is currently an objection period before final decisions can be made, as in Voice.de is reported.

Bregenz will express itself in detail about the plans after June 26 and vote on it, while the existing condition for nude bathers is still tolerated. This development could also be interpreted in response to the high demand for textile -free bathing in the region. In other parts of Lake Constance there are already established nudist beaches, such as the Hörnle-Bad in Constance or the Süßenmühle near Sipplingen, which could serve as role models.

nudist offer in Lake Constance

Currently, bathing friends on Lake Constance are available to various nudist options. In addition to the beaches already mentioned, other popular places can also be found, such as the nudist area in Fußach at the mouth of the Rhine. There are also numerous tolerated beaches in Germany that enable nude bathing. An overview of the available nudist beaches on Lake Constance shows that the region is a real paradise for supporters of free body culture.
