About Fkk-Badestelle Kiessee Schildow
The Kiessee lies on the southern edge of Schildow, in the municipality of Mühlenbecker Land, just beyond Berlin's northern city limit near Glienicke/Nordbahn and Reinickendorf. It is a former gravel pit run as a fenced Strandbad (Lessingstraße 48), so access is through the entrance and a small day fee is charged in season. The lake has several bathing areas with very shallow, gently sloping lake beds, which is why it is popular with families with small children. Alongside the textile areas there is a large FKK section; Berlin's tourism board mentions it, and seen.de describes it as a large FKK area. The sources do not say exactly which shore it occupies, so follow the signs or ask at the gate. Other facilities include a ball field, table tennis and a beer garden. As a small, enclosed lido it feels local rather than touristy. Some visitors dislike that the lake is fenced and commercial.
Getting there
The Strandbad entrance is at Lessingstraße 48, 16552 Schildow (Mühlenbecker Land, Oberhavel district). Schildow is reached by car from Berlin-Reinickendorf in about 20-30 minutes; parking details are not published, so allow for street parking nearby. Public transport: S-Bahn to Hermsdorf or Frohnau, then a regional bus towards Schildow; check the VBB or BVG journey planner. Entry is paid in season (around 3 euros a day has been reported). Within the grounds the walk from gate to water is short and level.
What visitors say
Comments gathered on seen.de describe a large FKK area and a modest day fee of around 3 euros. One commenter objects that the lake is fenced and commercialised and would rather it were open to everyone. Another asks whether dogs may use the FKK area, and nobody answers. Parents value the shallow water. Overall it is seen as a quiet local lido, not a destination beach. Reviews are sparse, so check current opening times before you go.
