In East Germany, nudism is a big thing. Of course, I checked this out after moving there and I must say I was not at all surprised to see the Ordnungsamt (public oder office?) at the nudist beach enforcing nudity.

Enforced nudity?

How very German.

Here deregulated beaches (outside of council zoning) are clothing-optional :

which are often signposted as such near urban areas, with no signage or policing elsewhere:

... just don't disturb nesting turtles, okay?

Problem about non nude people is that they can make the nude feel uncomfortable.

In Austria a semi mixed bath recently closed their nudist area because it's surrounded by forest which was filled with perverts that made a lot of trash in the forest and would fap behind trees to nude people.

Same for any semi reachable other public nudist place I've ever been to, you have to expect perverts wandering around.

That's why I prefer places where non nude is not welcome, even thought I never have seen it enforced and nobody minds a clothed friend that doesn't feel it yet either.

Same thing in Saunas, staff will tell you to take your clothes off.

Yes, this is how it is.

But surprised by the post above:

"can expect to hear the heavy breathing of amorous couples from about 20-30m away as"

You are naked. But any kind of inappropriate activity is a big no no. Even staring at another person or something. Buddies of mine went to a sauna and there was even a famous actress in it. It is considered normal and egalitarian.

This being said, try Budapest. The scale of this bath will blow your mind: https://bathsbudapest.com/szechenyi-bath

I was blown away already before I realized there is even an outdoor area. It is BIG.

Well that’s how (non-mix) saunas work in Finland.

[woodpanel]

I saw people wearing their bathing suits/trunks into a sauna - and quite frankly it’s disgusting.

The problem with German nudist is that if you take a group of Germans and group them by who you would like to see naked, and those who you absolutely would not to, it's every time the latter group who gets naked.

[Krasnol]

The signs are quite clear, though: FKK = everybody is nude.

You don't get to enter if you're wearing clothes. Cannot peep without being peeped on.
