In Birgelen Primeval Forest | 1
Birgeler Urwald [en: Birgelen Primeval Forest] is a natural naturist area in the “Nature Reserve Maas-Schwalm-Nette” between the rivers of that names in Western Germany and the Limburg District of The Netherlands.
Four of us had registered first for Herbert's nude hike in the Vulkaneifel Mountains and were looking forward to be actively nude there again, to see well-known naturists again and to get to know new ones. However, in view of the forecast of thunderstorms in that hiking area, we decided at short notice, not to take the long drive to get there, and hiked instead in Birgelen Primeval Forest.
This choice gave us pleasant May weather with sun, weak wind, and air temperature above 20°C as well as a pleasant refreshing swim in a pond in the primeval forest.
We enjoyed bright, fresh green of spring, singing birds, and croaking frogs as many other hiking and cycling people did in the nature park. On the horizon, it became sometimes dark – there were probably thunderstorms or rain. The rain did not arrive until we had finished our hike and were on our way home. We had probably made the right choice!
