About this place
ČANKOV - OTOVICE is a clothing-optional location in Karlovy Vary, Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic. The Czech naturist tradition is centered on lakes, ponds, and former gravel pits (písník, štěrkovna) rather than the sea — the country is landlocked, and freshwater bathing culture has supported FKK use at recognized spots for decades.
Czech law does not specifically prohibit public nudity. General public-decency provisions could theoretically apply outside the network of de-facto-naturist lakes, but in practice naturism is culturally embedded — the Czech Republic is among the most naturist-friendly countries per capita in central Europe. For the broader legal context, see our public nudity laws guide.
Etiquette & ground rules
Respect the established naturist character of the location: be discreet, avoid photography, and follow the lead of regulars. Czech lake naturism depends on neighbourly tolerance — visitors who behave non-sexually and unobtrusively help keep these places open. Many Czech naturist lakes have unmarked perimeters; if you're unsure where the naturist zone begins, look for where regulars are gathered.
