About this place
The Pullinger Weiher are a small group of gravel-extraction lakes between the villages of Pulling and Achering in Freising district, about 30 kilometres north of Munich and immediately adjacent to Munich Airport (MUC). The Große Pullinger See is the main lake; its officially designated FKK area sits on a small peninsula on the eastern bank, separated from the main textile beach by convention and short walking distance.
Distinctive feature: the airport. Munich Airport's runway 26L sits less than two kilometres south of the lake, and aircraft on final approach pass directly overhead at low altitude. For plane enthusiasts this is the lake's defining draw; for everyone else it's the lake's defining downside — aircraft noise is real and constant during operating hours. The northern lake is most affected; the FKK area on the southern lake gets some noise but less than the northern.
The FKK area itself is compact and low-key. A maintained grass lawn directly behind the peninsula beach offers space for sunbathing, with no formal facilities beyond what the broader lake area provides. Toilets are at the main parking lot; food and drink need to be brought in. Pullinger Weiher's role is the small neighbourhood FKK lake for the Freising district plus the Munich Airport area workforce, rather than a destination spot in the Wannsee or Feringasee tier.
Public transport is good for Germany standards: S-Bahn S1 from central Munich to Pulling station (about 35 minutes), then a 15-minute walk to the lake. The connection makes it a viable after-work spot for Munich Airport workers and Freising locals.

Who visits
Freising-area locals, Munich Airport workers using the lake as an after-work cool-down, a small dedicated Bavarian FKK crowd. The lake is too compact and noise-affected to draw destination visitors; the regulars are people who live or work within a 10-minute drive. Weekday late afternoons are the natural peak; weekend mornings are quietest.
How to find it
From Munich, S-Bahn S1 to Pulling station (about 35 minutes from Hauptbahnhof, runs every 20 minutes). From the station it's a 15-minute walk south to the lake. By car: A92 to the Freising-Süd exit, about 30 minutes from central Munich. The FKK area is on the eastern peninsula of the Großer Pullinger See — walk past the main textile beach to reach it.
Things to watch out for
Aircraft noise is significant and constant during airport operating hours — if you want quiet, this isn't the lake. The northern lake is most affected. No food or drink available on-site; bring everything. Mosquitoes are active in summer evenings. The lake bottom is gravelly in places (former gravel pit); water shoes are useful for wading.

FKK Badestelle
FKK Badestelle is a clothing-optional beach in Bavaria, Germany, where FKK (Freikörperkultur — 'free body culture') is the established norm at designated bathing areas. German naturism has deep roots in early-20th-century reform movements and is socially mainstream, with FKK sections of lakes and coastal beaches plainly marked and used by families, retirees, and solo visitors across the warm-weather season. Access is typically straightforward from a marked car park or footpath. Expect calm, low-key etiquette and the standard German bathing rules: pack out trash, no loud music, towel on shared seating.
