About FKK-Strand
Stausee Oberwald is a reservoir in the Reichenbach part of Callenberg, in western Saxony. It lies about 4 km from Sankt Egidien and about 12 km from Chemnitz, close to the A4 motorway. Its shore is run as a paid lido (Strandbad) with a bathing beach of roughly 360 m and a lawn for sunbathing behind it. The lido includes a separate nude area. Saxony's official bathing-water profile lists that FKK area and rates the water quality as very good. Beyond the beach, the site is a busy family leisure complex. It has playgrounds, minigolf, boat and pedal-boat hire, a water slide of about 64 m, a summer toboggan run of more than 500 m, a self-service restaurant with a terrace, and a snack bar. A four-star campsite on the shore also keeps its own separate FKK section for guests. Dogs are not allowed in the bathing area. Campers mention steady noise from the nearby motorway. Published sources do not say exactly where along the shore the nude area is, so ask at the entrance.
Getting there
The reservoir is signposted as Stausee Oberwald, 09337 Callenberg, and is easy to reach by car from the A4, with parking at the lido and campsite. The nearest public-transport stop is about 1 km away, and Callenberg village is about 2 km away. Entry to the Strandbad is paid, and fees and opening hours vary by season, so check with the operator (info@stausee-oberwald.de) before visiting.
