Last FKK campsite on the North Sea to close in 2027
Original source: Die heutigen Nachrichten

In Brief

The nudist area at the Hooksiel campsite in Lower Saxony is closing due to low occupancy. The operator plans to convert the site into a modern camping area. The naturist association has gathered around 1,400 signatures in a petition against the closure.

The nudist (FKK) area at the Hooksiel campsite, the last on the North Sea coast, will close by the 2027 season after 75 years of operation. Operator Überland GmbH (also referred to as Überland Services GmbH) cites low demand: out of 412 pitches, only 125 are occupied by seasonal campers, and short-term bookings are rare.

The freed-up area is to be converted into modern seasonal camping pitches with a summer lounge zone and mandatory clothing by the 2027 season. A proposal by nudists to reduce the area was rejected by the operator as unfeasible.

The Naturistenverband Wilhelmshaven-Friesland (also known as Naturistenbund Wilhelmshaven Friesland) has launched a petition against the closure. Reports vary on the number of signatures collected, ranging from 1,300 to 1,400; 2,000 are needed for consideration. The nearby nudist beach will remain open.

Pössl showed recipe for cheap motorhome in the 1990s: bathroom, kitchen and fixed bed at the price of an empty van

In 1996, the Pössl Duo Van cost 45,885 marks — exactly the same as an empty panel van at a German dealership. The company bought Peugeot chassis in Slovenia at wholesale prices and outsourced series production of the living module to Adria, a Slovenian caravan manufacturer with lower costs. Today, this model is used by many brands: Carado, Adria, Weinsberg and Pössl offer six-metre campervans with a bathroom and fixed bed from €47,499 to €63,379. A production campervan is significantly cheaper than a custom conversion, but the base price often excludes essential options.

Summer holidays in Upper Lusatia: camping, glamping and a new zoo exhibition

Görlitz Zoo opened the interactive 'Wild Love Stories' exhibition on animal mating rituals, and from July 21 to August 30, extra trains run on the Muskau forest railway.
