About FKK Bereich - Süßenmühle
Süßenmühle is a small hamlet of holiday flats on the north shore of the Überlinger See, the north-western arm of Lake Constance, between Sipplingen and Überlingen. Below it lies a natural bathing spot that the EU bathing-water register lists as Sipplingen, Badestrand Süßenmühle, with water rated excellent for years in a row. A 2025 Schwäbische Zeitung article on nude bathing around Lake Constance named the Süßenmühle FKK beach as one of the places on the German shore where nude bathing is already possible, and the holiday flats beside it advertise the FKK area to guests. A rental listing puts it about 2 km from Sipplingen and roughly 4 km from the Überlingen lakeside promenade. It is a simple, unserviced spot: bathing directories list no kiosk, toilets or lifeguards, and suggest bringing food and drink. No source describes the length of the shore, the surface or how the nude area is marked, so expect a modest stretch of natural lakeshore rather than a developed beach.
Getting there
The spot is on the lake shore between Sipplingen and Überlingen in the Bodenseekreis; the holiday flats are at Süßenmühle, 78354 Sipplingen. A rental listing says public transport is within walking distance of the flats, but no source gives a stop name, public parking or the path down to the water, so check the route on a map before going. There are no facilities at the bathing spot.
Legal context
No municipal designation or signage for nude bathing was found for Sipplingen or Überlingen; the spot is described as an FKK beach only by a newspaper (2025) and local holiday-flat listings. In Germany public nudity is generally tolerated where it does not cause offence, but outside marked FKK areas it can be fined as a nuisance if others complain.
Naturism at FKK Bereich - Süßenmühle sits under Germany's rules for traditional tolerance — custom more than statute.
