About Groß Glienicker See
Groß Glienicker See is a clear, spring-fed lake on the Berlin-Potsdam border, with Kladow on its eastern shore and Groß Glienicke on the west. Berlin lists two public bathing spots on its side: Moorloch in the south-east, with a lawn and a DLRG station, and Pferdekoppel in the north-east, with a small sandy patch. Any nude use here appears to be informal and undocumented; we could not confirm a specific nude area, so visitors should be discreet and follow local signage.
Getting there
Bathing spots on the Berlin side are reached from Kladow (Spandau) by bus; the south shore has parking. Exact nude-use spot unknown.
Legal context
Public nudity is not a criminal offence in Germany in itself; it can be treated as an administrative offence (Belästigung der Allgemeinheit, §118 OWiG) where it causes public nuisance, and municipalities regulate it locally through beach or bathing bylaws. No designated FKK zone is documented at this lake.
Naturism at Groß Glienicker See sits under Germany's rules for traditional tolerance — custom more than statute.
