About Coswig: Baggersee
The Badesee Coswig-Kötitz is a former gravel pit on the right bank of the Elbe in Coswig, between Radebeul and Meißen, run by the town-owned Technische Werke Coswig as a combined lake bath and outdoor pool. The 21-hectare grounds include a natural lake of about 7 hectares with a swimming island, a 25 m pool, a fun pool with a 47 m slide, a paddling pool, large lawns, sports courts, a restaurant and snack bar, and a campsite. The operator lists a generously laid-out FKK beach as part of the facilities. Visitor reports put the FKK area at the far side of the grounds, roughly a ten-minute walk from the entrance, which keeps it separate from the busy family areas near the pools. The lake has sand entries and gently shelving sections. It is a paid, staffed facility rather than a wild beach, which makes it a straightforward choice for a day of nude swimming with services close by, and it sits directly on the Elbe cycle route.
Getting there
The bath is at Brockwitzer Straße 33, 01640 Coswig, and signposted from the town centre. There is a large car park for about 500 cars plus motorcycle and bicycle parking. It is directly on the Elbe cycle route. Admission in 2026 was 5.50 EUR for adults and 3.50 EUR reduced, with an evening ticket from 17:00 and family tickets. Allow about ten minutes on foot from the entrance to the FKK area. The season runs May to September, daily 10:00 to 20:00, weather permitting.
What visitors say
Visitors describe a well-run, easy-to-find lake bath with plenty of lawn space and good facilities. The FKK section is appreciated for being clearly separate from the textile areas, though reaching it takes a walk of around ten minutes. Some guides note that nearby lakes such as Birkwitz mix nude and clothed bathers, and recommend Kötitz for those who want a dedicated FKK beach. Prices and hours change each season, so check the operator's site.
