About Templiner See
The Templiner See is a broad widening of the Havel south-west of central Potsdam, edged by the Templin forest. The place for nude bathing here is the Waldbad Templin, a lake lido on the forested shore run by the city's pool company, Bäderlandschaft Potsdam. Brandenburg's and Potsdam's official tourism sites both list an FKK area among its facilities, and the operator told the Berliner Zeitung that the FKK area is one of the most popular parts of the lido. The sources do not give its exact position within the grounds, so follow signs or ask at the entrance. The rest of the lido is a busy family venue: a large timed water slide, a floating bathing island, a shallow children's pool, beach volleyball and football pitches, lawn chess, beach chairs, a wakeboard facility and hire of rowing boats, pedal boats and kayaks. Food comes from a pavilion with a beer garden, and the Forsthaus Templin brewery is across the road. There are also bungalows and moorings for longer stays. The lido opens only in the warm season and is busiest on hot summer weekends.
