About Dahme
This is the wooded east bank of the Dahme where it widens into the Langer See in Treptow-Köpenick, below the Müggelberge in south-east Berlin. The coordinates match a spot on the Langer See shore that naturists have used for years. A 2002 report described several kilometres of the Dahme bank beyond Köpenick as a de facto FKK area, with almost everyone bathing nude; it is mostly forest shore with occasional short stretches of sand, many quiet nooks, and clean water. The Langer See itself is about 11 km long and on average around 220 m wide, with boat traffic in the main channel. There are no facilities on this shore: it is a free, informal bathing area in the forest, and the paid lidos at Wendenschloß and Grünau are the nearest places with services. It is popular on hot days, so the small sandy spots fill early.
Getting there
The most pleasant approach is on foot from the Müggelberge: a forest path runs from the Rübezahl area past the small Teufelssee down to the Langer See shore (it is not shown on many maps). Cyclists can use the forest roads through the Köpenick city forest. There is no dedicated car park at the shore. Paths are unpaved, sometimes steep forest tracks with no step-free access.
What visitors say
The available reports describe a long, informal stretch of forest shore where nude bathing has long been the norm, with clean water and plenty of quiet spots among the trees. The spot near the coordinates is described as very popular. One 2006 report complained about some visitors behaving inconsiderately. Information is limited and dated, so expect conditions to vary along the shore.
