About Edderitz Beach FKK
The Edderitzer See is a flooded former lignite open-cast mine near Edderitz, part of the town of Südliches Anhalt in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district of Saxony-Anhalt, between Köthen and Halle. It filled with groundwater in the late 1950s and has since become a green, natural recreation area. Bathing centres on the Seebad Edderitz on the west shore, an officially monitored EU bathing site with a beach of about 400 m, split into sand and grass sections, a beach café, a playground, toilets and a campsite. According to the campsite listing, a separately marked FKK zone lies directly by the site on this beach, so nude bathers have their own section within a serviced lake bath. A path of more than 3 km runs around the lake. Information about the FKK section is limited to this listing, so check its current extent on arrival.
Getting there
The Seebad is on the west side of the lake at Edderitz (Südliches Anhalt), on the edge of Edderitz. There is parking at the bath and campsite. The campsite season runs from 1 April to 30 September, and dogs are not allowed. A lakeside path of more than 3 km is suitable for walking; the beach area itself is sand and lawn.
