Overview
Breisach-Rimsingen Baggersee is reported for FKK use on traditionally used parts of its shoreline near Breisach am Rhein. The lake is a still freshwater Baggersee with grass, gravel and earth banks, used for swimming and sunbathing for a few hours at a time. Mornings are generally quieter, while warm summer weekends bring more people to the open shore. There are no shops, lifeguards, toilets or showers at the water, so visits work best as simple self-sufficient stops. Late morning to late afternoon gives the warmest water and sun on this largely exposed shoreline.
Visiting the beach
Breisach-Rimsingen Baggersee sits near Rimsingen and Breisach am Rhein in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district. Access is by local roads, followed by short walks from informal roadside or field parking to the open shoreline. Some parking areas may charge, while entry to the shore itself is generally free. There is no direct public transport stop at the water. Regional buses serve Rimsingen and Breisach am Rhein, so allow a walk or cycle ride for the final section. The shore is natural and uneven, with grass backed by scattered trees and gravel and earth at the water edge. There are no paved paths or adapted facilities. The lake itself is still and generally calm, with water temperature changing through the season. June to August is the warmest period for swimming. Outside those months extended stays and swimming are less comfortable. Late morning to late afternoon brings the strongest sun and warmest water. Shade is limited to scattered trees, and much of the bank is open with high sun exposure on clear days. Bring sun protection, drinking water, food and a ground cover. There are no permanent shops at the lake and no toilets, showers, rentals or lifeguard service. Swimming is at your own risk. Dogs are often restricted near bathing areas and expected to be leashed where allowed. The setting is mixed use. Families use clothed areas, while undressed use is concentrated in traditionally used sections. Respect signs, private boundaries and other groups. Typical visits last a few hours. Open access has no gated hours, with use generally limited to daylight. On hot weekends arrive early because informal parking fills and popular banks become closer spaced.

Naturist rules
Stay within the traditionally used FKK shoreline sections and keep clothed areas clothed. Respect local signage, private boundaries and mixed-use parts of the lake where families gather. Give other groups space and avoid walking undressed through clothed banks or family areas. Keep noise low through the day, take all rubbish away with you, and avoid disturbing grass, trees and bank vegetation. Keep dogs leashed where allowed and away from bathing areas and sunbathing towels. Do not photograph other people or use cameras near the shore. Swim with care because the lake is unsupervised and entry is natural. Keep visits simple and self-sufficient, and leave the bank as found for later arrivals.
