Germans get first nudist-only hotel

The first nudist-only hotel is set to open in Germany's Black Forest.

Guests will be required to leave their clothes at reception and must be naked at all times when on the premises – "or they will be required to leave".

"We hope to open as soon as possible," Silvia Probsthain, a member of staff at the planned Hotel Rosengarten. "It will be the first comprehensively nudist hotel in Germany."

The rules state that all guests must put towels on chairs and loungers before using them, that there be no sexual harassment and that all sexual activity in "commonly accessible rooms" is strictly forbidden.

The hotel is being built in Freudenstadt, which translates into "Town of Joys". Freudenstadt's tourism director Michael Krause said: "I'm in two minds. It's always good if a new hotel is set up but I'd prefer a normal hotel concept."

There are similar hotels catering for nudists in Scandinavia, Croatia and the south of France.
