Camping and naturism are similar to each other like cream to strawberry cake. Naturism, so to speak, the extra portion of freedom when camping – a perfect combination. An extra tube of sunscreen should not be missing in your suitcase and you should not wear a summer dress if your summer vacation is to be spent at a nudist campsite. It’s not just swimming without a bikini or swimming trunks that is popular. The search queries on the camping portal “camping.info” reveal a trend for nudist culture on camping holidays.
The love of the Adam costume is not new. The history of naturism can be traced back to the 19th century. Richard Ungewitter is considered a pioneer of the nudist movement. He founded a group for “hygienic, ethical and aesthetic culture” in the early 20th century. At that time, the trend towards nudity emerged as a resistance to the bourgeois concept of life in Germany. Detached from the longing for freedom in nature, the naturist culture movement found many followers during the GDR era. Today, being naked is experiencing a revival.
“Naturist camping gives campers a feeling of freedom, relaxation and a special closeness to nature. Many campsites offer nudist areas or are completely geared towards a clothing-free holiday,” said Maximilian Möhrle, managing director of the camping portal, in a statement. Whether by the sea, in the mountains or by the lake – many campsites for naturists score points with their special location in beautiful, extensive natural areas. The textile-free facilities can often offer travelers a high level of privacy. If you love to enjoy nature completely naked, relax or play a game of table tennis, naturist campsites are the right place for you. Germany and Austria are among the most popular destinations in Europe for holidays without textiles.
