" Nude hiking" gets the green light; Germany designates special routes [picture series]

Germany once took the lead in establishing special flights and hotels for nudists, and now Germany has again announced that it will give the green light to "naked climbers", opening an 18-kilometer long dedicated trail in a famous mountain climbing area in the north. This "naked path" is located in the Harz Mountains, a famous tourist destination in central Germany, and was initiated by Heinz Ludwig of the German Nudist Association. The trail will officially open on May 1, 2010. Currently, the government has already set up warning signs at the intersections.
