About this place
The Wörthersee is Austria's warmest large lake, reaching 25–27°C in summer due to its depth profile and southern Alpine position in Carinthia. The FKK section on the lake's eastern shore near Loretto/Klagenfurt has been an established naturist bathing area since the 1970s.
The Wörthersee FKK beach is a grass-and-shingle strand with access to the deep, clear turquoise water the lake is famous for. Klagenfurt, Carinthia's capital, is about 5km from the main FKK section. The surrounding area has camping and guesthouses; the lake is easily combined with a visit to Klagenfurt's old town. Cycling paths ring the lake and the FKK section is reachable by bike from Klagenfurt city.

Things to watch out for
The Wörthersee is a popular lake and its shores are developed; the FKK section is a specifically designated area rather than informal nudism. Outside July–August, water temperatures cool significantly.

Millstätter See FKK
The Millstätter See is a deep, clear lake in central Carinthia — 12km long, averaging about 86m deep, reaching 24–25°C in summer. It sits in a mountain valley between the Nockberge in the north and the Liesergbirge to the south, giving it a more dramatic alpine backdrop than the flatter southern Carinthian lakes. The FKK section is on the south shore, reachable from Millstatt town and the surrounding villages. The Millstätter See FKK tradition is more informal than at Klopeiner See — designated areas exist but the lake is large enough that naturist bathing has spread to several cove locations outside the signed zone. The town of Millstatt is an attractive destination in its own right, with a Benedictine monastery and medieval cloister.

Faaker See FKK
The Faaker See is a small, warm lake near Villach in southern Carinthia, set against the backdrop of the Karawanken mountain range with the Mittagskogel peak directly to the south. The lake is particularly warm — reaching up to 27°C — due to its shallower depth. The FKK section is on the west shore, accessible from Faak am See village. The lake is surrounded by meadows and holiday cottages; the FKK area has a grassy bathing meadow and direct lake access. The Faaker See is also famous as the location of the Harley-Davidson European Bike Week rally in September, which gives the area a very different atmosphere outside the naturist summer season.

Klopeiner See FKK
The Klopeiner See is one of Austria's warmest lakes and one of its most popular FKK destinations — a small, deep lake in southern Carinthia near Klopein village, reaching up to 28°C in summer. The FKK section occupies the southern shore of the lake, with grassy meadows descending to the water. The Klopeiner See FKK tradition is long-established and well-organised. The lake is small enough that you can see across it from the FKK shore, giving it an intimate character unlike the large Carinthian lakes. The water is exceptionally clear — the Klopeiner See has some of the best freshwater visibility in Austria. Camping and guesthouses are available in the village and around the lakeside.
