About Grünewalder Lauch - FKK Strand
The Grünewalder Lauch (also called Grünewalder See) is a flooded former lignite pit on the western edge of Lauchhammer in southern Brandenburg, part of the Lausitzer Seenland lake district and bordered by the woods of the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park. Its main shore is taken up by Themencamping Grünewalder Lauch, a large campsite that runs a public sand beach on the lake, edged with reeds. The beach is divided into sections for textile bathers, dogs and water sports, and the campsite states that naturists have their own beach section on the far shore of the lake ('am hinteren Seeufer'), set apart from the main family beach. A regional camping map of the Lausitzer Seenland likewise notes that FKK fans have their own beach here. The lake is used for swimming, windsurfing, stand-up paddling and sailing. Because the FKK area lies on the far side, it is quieter than the main beach, and one beach portal describes the wider shoreline there as sandy with no services, so bring water and shade.
Getting there
The lake is just west of Lauchhammer, a short drive from the A13 Berlin–Dresden: leave at Ruhland, take the B169 towards Plessa/Elsterwerda and turn off at Lauchhammer West. The campsite is at Lauchstraße 101, 01979 Lauchhammer. The FKK section is on the far shore from the campsite beach, so allow for a walk along the shore. We found no details on public parking for day visitors or on public transport to the lake.
Amenities
Legal context
Nude bathing is not generally prohibited in Brandenburg; the FKK section here is set aside by the campsite operator rather than designated by a public authority (2026). Stay within the marked FKK section; the main beach is textile.
Naturism at Grünewalder Lauch - FKK Strand sits under Germany's rules for de facto tolerance — usually left alone if you keep it non-sexual and low-drama.
