Swiss order no naked hiking signs

Joke signs banning naked hiking have been ordered for real by prudish Swiss officials.

Designer Dan Walter originally created the design as a prank and sent it in to the government for a laugh.

But he was astonished when orders started to flood in and the signs are now going up around the country.



Switzerland's mountain footpaths have been plagued by a craze for naked nature trails that has shocked more traditional walkers.

Mr Walter said: "It was a bit of a joke sending the sign in to the government.

"I just wanted to see what their reply would be for a laugh. I never expected an order for more."
