15.09.2019 – We're excellent!


What a great honour! The Familien-Sport-Gemeinschaft Nordrhein Westfalen e.V. - in the person of the president Günther Hedderich - has awarded us as an excellent family friendly sports club. This special distinction is supposed to express an acknowledgement of our commitment and merits to the naturist movement - in particular through our openess, the consistent implementation of naturist offers, the development of new, contemporary sports and events, a refreshing and appealing PR and media work as well as for breaking new grounds in advertising. We feel grateful and connected with the FSG-NW, which has been underlined by a ceremonial change of towels. This goes hand in hand with the desire to work even closer together in the future.
You can admire the badge with the award at our closet at Familienzentrum. 🙂

The second winter hike of the club on 13 January was not only great fun, but also a complete success. Despite dingy drizzle weather, ten members of the club went in a good mood on the six kilometre long way through the Tegel forest. Started at the subway station Alt-Tegel we went over the Greenwichpromenade at the Tegeler See past the oldest as well as the highest tree of Berlin towards Heiligensee. Interesting information on forest ecology and the effects of climate change made the hike a sports and knowledge experience. After about two hours the hikers were able to relax and warm up in the well-tempered sauna @Saunafreunde e. V. The very brave ones cooled down after the sauna sessions by jumping into the Heiligensee. Sports activities, great conversations and cosy get-togethers make the winter hike followed by a sauna session a legendary club event already after its second edition. Many thanks to Saunafreunde for the warm welcome.
