Teufelssee

Teufelssee is a lake situated in the Grunewald forest in Berlin, and it's known for its clothing-optional policy. A favorite among locals and tourists alike, the lake offers a serene setting for sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying the great outdoors in a laid-back, naturalistic environment.

The area is quite popular among Berlin's gay community, and you'll often find a mix of individuals and groups lounging in the sun or taking a dip in the lake. While nudity is permitted, it's not obligatory, so you can choose your own comfort level when it comes to attire—or the lack thereof.

Amenities are somewhat limited—don't expect bars or restaurants—so it's a good idea to bring some snacks, drinks, and maybe a book if you plan on spending the day.

Given its somewhat secluded location, getting to Teufelssee can be a bit of a trek. You can take public transportation followed by a walk through the forest, or go by bike if you're up for the ride. Regardless of how you get there, the peaceful atmosphere and sense of community make it well worth the journey.

It's a wonderful spot to experience a slice of Berlin's liberal and open culture while enjoying some fresh air and natural beauty. Just make sure to clean up after yourself to help maintain the spot for everyone to enjoy! 🌳🏳️‍🌈🌞
