About Keutschacher See
Keutschacher See is a warm, lowland lake in the wooded hills south-west of Klagenfurt in Carinthia, part of the Fünf-Seen-Land around Keutschach. Its south shore is unusual: three naturist campgrounds sit side by side directly on the water, together offering room for more than 3000 guests, which is why the area is often called one of the largest naturist complexes on any European lake. The Kärntner Lichtbund's Turkwiese is a members' club site, while Müllerhof and Sabotnik/Kaufitsch are commercial FKK campgrounds with mobile homes, apartments and a pension; Müllerhof advertises three bathing beaches backed by pine woods. The nude areas are the campgrounds' own lawns, small beaches and jetties, not a public beach, so access goes through the sites. The water warms well in summer and the lake is shallow at its edges. All three sites open roughly from May to September.
Getting there
Keutschach am See is about 15 km south-west of Klagenfurt by road. The FKK campgrounds are on the south shore at Dobein and Dobeinitz, signposted from the lake road. Parking is on site for guests. Buses from Klagenfurt serve Keutschach, but services are limited and a car is easier. Since the nude areas are within the campgrounds, contact the site in advance about day visits and fees. Paths inside the sites are lawns and gravel.
Amenities
Legal context
The nude areas are private naturist campgrounds, where nudity is the house rule. Keutschach municipality's 2024 accommodation directory lists all three as FKK campgrounds on the south shore. Nudity outside the campgrounds, for example at public lake beaches, is not covered.
Naturism at Keutschacher See sits under Austria's rules for officially designated nude beaches — explicit protection inside the marked area.
