Germany to get first nude hiking trail

An 11 mile hiking trail, specially designed for naked ramblers, is set to open in Germany next year.

The secluded route, which runs through the Harz Mountains will be Germany's first official naked ramblers' footpath.

While naked walking will be encouraged and bosses think there will be demand from naked tourists, normally attired walkers will be equally welcome.

Some naturists have apparently been unable to wait until the opening in May and have already walked the trail wearing nothing but their boots.

Signs have also been erected warning more conservative walkers they might prefer alternative routes… though we probably shouldn't have used the word erected.
