About Baggersee Arsten
The Baggersee Arsten is a former gravel pit on the southern edge of Bremen, in the Arsten district of Obervieland, close to the A1 and the boundary with Weyhe. A single 2008 entry on nacktbaden.de describes it as an old gravel pit fed by an inflow from the Weser, where nude bathing is customary in the rear part of the lake, away from the access side. No other published description, facility list or recent visitor report was found, and the lake's official name could not be confirmed, so treat this as a low-information local spot rather than a managed bathing site. Bremen's established nude areas, such as the FKK section at the Werdersee about 4 km north, are better documented.
Getting there
According to the 2008 report, leave the A1 at the Arsten exit, park at the car park of the Kibek carpet store and walk about 10 minutes to the lake. No information was found on official parking, public transport or path conditions; the area is flat marshland on the Weser floodplain.
Legal context
No designated FKK area or bathing permission was found for this lake; the only source (2008) describes nude bathing in the rear part as customary. Check for any bathing-ban signs, as unofficial gravel pits often carry them.
Naturism at Baggersee Arsten sits under Germany's rules for traditional tolerance — custom more than statute.
