About BOROVINKA
Borovinka is a pond on the outskirts of Jihlava, the regional capital of Vysočina in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. CzechTourism's Kudy z nudy portal names it, together with the quarries near Lipnice nad Sázavou, as one of the places in Vysočina where people can still bathe without swimwear, in an article about the better-known naturist beach at Velké Dářko. Beyond that mention, little is published about the spot: there is no designated, signposted nude section, no operator and no lifeguard, and it appears to belong to the many informal 'wild' naturist places in Czechia that are kept up by their users rather than a municipality. Expect a natural pond shore rather than a managed beach, a mostly local crowd, and possibly some clothed bathers. Water quality at many Vysočina ponds is not tested by the health authorities, so swimming is at your own risk.
Getting there
Borovinka is on the edge of Jihlava; the town is reached by road from the D1 motorway (Jihlava exits) and by train and bus from Prague and Brno. No published information on parking, paths or public transport to the pond itself was found; check the route on a local map before setting off.
Legal context
Czech law does not ban nudity in nature as such; problems arise only if it is considered to disturb public order. CzechTourism's portal lists Borovinka as a place where swimming without swimwear is possible, but there is no local ordinance or signage known for it (checked 2026).
Naturism at BOROVINKA sits under Czechia's rules for traditional tolerance — custom more than statute.
Naturist status confirmed against an official source on 24 October 2026.
