THE TOP 10 EUROPEAN NUDIST BEACHES BY WEG.DE

The pandemic has brought with it many phenomena. One is that lockdowns, quarantines, and home offices have meant that many people have given up their clothes and developed a completely new body feeling. But a very open approach to the body has always been cultivated in Europe’s eastern countries, especially in summer. It wasn’t just a matter of avoiding bikini lines by bathing naked. Much more, it was about health, the wonderful feeling of enjoying the sun and air everywhere. Moreover, it was to become one with nature when the water nestled around the naked body. Unfortunately, nudist beaches are scarce these days. However, they exist. The German online portal weg.de has compiled the top 10 most beautiful European nudist beaches.
