About this place Teufelssee

Teufelssee is a small lake in the Grunewald forest on Berlin's western side, known for decades as a naturist bathing spot with a well-established gay section. On warm days men sunbathe nude on the meadows by the water, and the surrounding woods are used for cruising. The lake is a walk of about 15 to 20 minutes from S-Bahn Grunewald, and it is busiest on summer weekend afternoons. There are no facilities to speak of, so bring water, food and something to lie on. Families and textile bathers use other parts of the shore, so keep cruising to the woods and out of sight of the main lawns.

The lake is truly beautiful and perfect for swimming on hot days. It's a great place to visit, not just in summer.

This is a wonderful place, like and a Rococo painting with the lazy couples in the grass. 💓

A very beautiful lake for swimming. It shouldn't be too crowded.

A must-see summer spot in Berlin. The lake is great, the people are great, the S7 bus is fantastic, it's a beautiful place to relax, sunbathe, and swim. It just needs a bar or restaurant inside, that's all.
