About FKK Strand Altmühlsee
The Altmühlsee is a shallow reservoir next to Gunzenhausen, the northernmost of the lakes in the Fränkisches Seenland in Middle Franconia. Its nude beach belongs to the Seezentrum Muhr am See, the recreation centre on the north shore near the village of Muhr am See. The regional tourism association lists it as one of two beaches in the district that are officially designated for naturists and screened from view. The other is at Absberg on the Kleiner Brombachsee. The Seezentrum is open and free to enter at all times. Next to the nude area is the main beach, with sand, lawns and open-air showers. Facilities include the Strandhaus restaurant serving regional Franconian food, a kiosk, a beach-volleyball court, a playground, and rental of bikes, rickshaws, kayaks, SUPs and pedal boats. There is also a marina, and the Altmühlsee passenger boat calls here, although its service was suspended at last check. Much of the lake is a bird sanctuary, and the Vogelinsel nature area is a few minutes away on the lakeside path. A family campsite, open April to October, and a motorhome site sit beside the centre.
Getting there

A hiking and cycling path along the shore links the centre with the Vogelinsel. The main beach is sand and grass.
