About FKK Strand Weitsee
The Weitsee is a long, narrow mountain lake at about 750 m altitude between Reit im Winkl and Ruhpolding in the Chiemgau Alps, lying in a valley between the Gurnwandkopf and the Duerrnbachhorn right beside the B305 Deutsche Alpenstrasse. It is about 2.7 km long but only around 240 m wide, with an average depth of 3.5 m and a maximum of about 9 m. Together with the Mittersee and Loedensee it forms the Dreiseengebiet, a protected nature area. Its clean water and distance from the nearest village make it a popular bathing lake in summer. The bathing beach has a nude section at the end farthest from the road, and an Alpine travel guide also lists an FKK bathing area at the lake. Bathing is only permitted at designated bathing spots. Details about the size and exact boundaries of the nude area are scarce, so look for the quieter end of the beach away from the road.
Getting there
The lake lies directly beside the B305 between Reit im Winkl and Ruhpolding, with parking spots along the road. Reit im Winkl's tourist office also describes a hike to the lake from the village of about 15 km round trip. The nude section is at the end of the bathing beach farthest from the road.
