About Fischbachweiher
The Fischbachweiher is a small, clear fishpond south-east of Donaueschingen near Pfohren, in the upper Danube basin of the Baar plateau, lying just west of the larger Riedsee with its campground and textile bathing beach. The only description of nude use is a 2002 report on nacktbaden.de, which says the pond has clear water with plenty of fish and that nude bathers used it, reached by walking about 15 minutes from the Riedsee car park towards the campground fence, through a small wood and then left along a field track for roughly 100 m. No newer report, rules or official information were found, so the current situation is unknown.
Getting there
Drive to the Riedsee near Donaueschingen-Pfohren and use its car park. Walk about 15 minutes towards the campground fence, through a small wood, then turn left onto a field track for about 100 m to the pond (route as described in 2002). No facilities at the pond; the Riedsee campground has a kiosk and toilets for its guests.
Legal context
No designation, signage or local rules for nude bathing were found. The pond appears to be a fishing water; check for any bathing restrictions on site.
Naturism at Fischbachweiher sits under Germany's rules for traditional tolerance — custom more than statute.
