Biggetalsperre

Biggetalsperre is a large reservoir in Kreis Olpe, and the area associated with FKK use is an informal natural shoreline rather than a built swimming facility. Access is on foot from surrounding paths and roads, with grass, earth and uneven natural ground near the water. Footwear suitable for unpaved ground is useful, especially when the banks are damp. Parking is in nearby public areas, followed by a walk to the shore, so allow time to find a suitable place and carry what is needed for the stay. Public transport connections run through the Attendorn area, followed by walking, which makes advance planning important. The most comfortable period is June to August, when air temperatures are warmest for swimming and sunbathing. Late morning to afternoon gives the best daylight and warmth, although the shoreline is mostly open with high sun exposure. Natural shade from trees is limited and there is little built shelter, so bring sun protection and drinking water. The water is freshwater with variable depth and cool temperatures, even in summer. There is no permanent lifeguard supervision, so cautious entry, attention to depth changes, and conservative swimming are important. No reliable toilets, showers, food outlets, or dedicated family facilities are confirmed at the naturist-use area. Bring food, water, a towel, and bags for rubbish, and plan to remove everything taken in. Dogs have no clearly established policy, and restrictions are likely near swimming areas. Short half-day visits for swimming and sunbathing are typical because of the simple conditions and limited facilities.
