About FKK-Strand Travemünde
Travemünde is Lübeck's seaside resort on the Bay of Lübeck. North of its main promenade beach (Kurstrand) the coast rises into the Brodtener Steilufer, an eroding clay cliff that is largely protected as a nature and bird reserve. The Travemünde tourism office lists one of the resort's two designated FKK areas here, behind the yacht club at the northern end of the Kurstrand where the cliff coast begins. The other FKK area is on Priwall, across the river. The beach below the cliff is narrower and more natural than the wide, sand-replenished Kurstrand, and stones and clay from the cliff reach the shore. Unlike the Kurstrand and Priwall, the Brodtener Ufer beach is generally free of charge. A year-round dog beach and a dog bathing jetty are also on this stretch, at the Söhrmanndamm just behind the northern Kurstrand. The cliff edge is unstable, so keep to marked paths and observe the barriers above the beach.
Getting there
Walk north along the Travemünde beach promenade past the end of the Kurstrand. The FKK area is behind the yacht club, near the Mövenstein car park at the end of the promenade. From there a footpath continues along the top of the Brodtener cliff toward Hermannshöhe, about 2 km away. Beach use here is free. Travemünde has rail connections to Lübeck at Travemünde Strand station.
Amenities
Legal context
The Travemünde tourism office lists a designated ('ausgewiesener') FKK area at the Brodtener Steilufer, behind the yacht club. The cliff coast is a protected area, and barriers along the cliff edge because of collapse risk must be respected. Dogs are banned on the Kurstrand from 1 April to 31 October but allowed on the nearby dog beach.
Naturism at FKK-Strand Travemünde sits under Germany's rules for officially designated nude beaches — explicit protection inside the marked area.
