Teufelssee

โ˜… 4.5 (2,018)Free

Teufelssee is a modest, tree-ringed lake within the Grunewald forest, its clear water and relaxed, judgment-free atmosphere drawing a mixed crowd for swimming and sunbathing. The southern shore in particular has a well-established FKK, or nude bathing, tradition, welcoming families and individuals alike without much social pressure, according to reviewers. A 4.5 rating and moderate hidden-gem score suggest it's known well enough to be popular but still feels like a local secret rather than a headline attraction.

What people say

"Great vibe and great mix of people here. Zero social pressure. The water is clean and refreshing. And it's fun to watch the ducks and, if you're lucky, the very tame boars who wander around here looking for things to steal. It's one of my favorite feel-good spots in Berlin"
