About Strandbad Wostra
The Strandbad Wostra, on Dresden's south-eastern edge by the Elbe, is a naturist-only lake bath run by the municipal bathing company Dresdner Bäder. It has operated as a pure FKK facility since 1982. The grounds of about 20,000 m² surround a small renaturalised gravel lake with a fine-sand beach, rentable beach chairs and a broad lawn, with part of the water set aside as a non-swimmer area. There is also a playground, sports areas, shaded spots and a snack bar/café run by a tenant. The separate, textile Freibad Wostra lies immediately next door, so make sure you enter the Strandbad gate. It is a small bath compared with Dresden's large pools, and a day ticket costs less than at the city's textile open-air baths.
Getting there
The address is Wilhelm-Weitling-Straße 39, 01259 Dresden, directly on the Elbe cycle path (Elberadweg), which makes cycling from the city centre easy. The operator lists car and bicycle parking; details and fees were not given. Admission in 2026 was €5.00 for adults at the desk (€4.50 online), €3.50 reduced and €3.00 for children up to 17; children under 1 m enter free, and there is a weekday after-work rate from 16:00. Season tickets cost €200 for adults. Check dresdner-baeder.de for opening dates and the nearest public transport stop.
Amenities
Legal context
The municipal operator Dresdner Bäder runs Wostra as a 'reine FKK-Anlage' (naturist-only bath), so nudity is lawful and expected within the grounds (checked 2026). The neighbouring Freibad Wostra is textile.
Naturism at Strandbad Wostra sits under Germany's rules for officially designated nude beaches — explicit protection inside the marked area.
