Badesee Friedrichroda

The record's coordinates fall on the Reinhardsbrunn ponds, just north of Friedrichroda in the Gotha district of Thuringia, below Reinhardsbrunn Palace and next to the Reinhardsbrunn-Friedrichroda railway station. The ponds lie inside the Thuringian Forest Nature Park and are surrounded by walking routes. One printed guide, seen only as a search-result excerpt, describes the Reinhardsbrunn monastery pond as shallow and quick to warm in summer, still deep enough to swim. It says bathing there is not actually permitted but many people do it anyway. The visitors it describes are mostly locals and FKK fans, though it says the pond is not a designated FKK spot. We found no other source on nude bathing here and could not open the guide itself. Treat nude use as unofficial and the bathing itself as unauthorised.
