About Flückiger See
The Flueckiger See (Flueckigersee) is a roughly 10-hectare city lake in Freiburg im Breisgau, in the Betzenhausen district west of the centre, created by gravel extraction in the 1920s and now set in the landscaped Seepark. It is a busy urban bathing spot with large sunbathing lawns, pedal boats, a mini-golf course, a beer garden, a restaurant and a kiosk. Nude bathing is an established custom on one part of the shore: a naturist report places nude bathers on the north shore between the grassy mounds, and visitor comments on seen.de mention that FKK is usual on one shore and that there is a separate section for nudists. This is tolerated rather than designated, and the rest of the park is used by clothed visitors and families. Swimmer's itch caused by cercariae has been reported in the lake. Freiburg's other city lake, the Dietenbachsee, has a similar tolerated nude area on its north-east shore, about 1.5 km to the south.
Getting there
The Seepark is in western Freiburg, in Betzenhausen, around 1-2 km from neighbouring districts; cycling is a convenient way to get there. A visitor comment reports sufficient free parking, though other guides note parking near the lake is limited on busy days. The nude area is on the north shore among the grassy mounds.
