Vienna, Austria
Alte Donau FKK (Old Danube)
The Alte Donau (Old Danube) is a former oxbow of the Danube River in Vienna's 22nd district, now a warm, shallow lake that is the city's premier inland bathing spot. The FKK section — designated and signed — sits at the northern end of the lake near the Gänsehäufel peninsula, Vienna's famous outdoor bathing island. FKK use at the Alte Donau dates to the 1920s, when Vienna's municipal bathing culture was among the most progressive in Europe. The tradition survived the war, the occupation, and post-war conservatism to remain one of Austria's most urban and accessible naturist locations. The lake is warm (reaching 26°C in summer), clean, and directly accessible by U-Bahn (line U1 to Kaisermühlen-Vienna International Centre, then a short walk or bus to the waterfront). Gänsehäufel itself charges a modest entry fee and has full facilities; the FKK meadow beyond is the main draw for naturists.

Lobau Naturist Area
The Lobau is a protected Danube floodplain on the eastern edge of Vienna, forming part of the Donau-Auen National Park. Within the Lobau, the naturist section — historically known as the 'Nacktbadestrand' and used for decades by Viennese naturists — sits along the Panozzalacke, a quiet backwater accessible by cycling path from the city. The Lobau naturist tradition is informal rather than formally designated — this is wild-riverbank naturism in a national park, not a fenced resort. The floodplain character means shallow, warm backwater pools ideal for swimming, backed by alluvial forest. Cycling is the standard access method (the area is part of Vienna's extensive Donauinsel cycling network). The naturist crowd is relaxed and self-regulating.
