Naked At Lunch

Cover Naked At Lunch
Genres: Fiction
At least that’s how I felt. The sky was overcast and an icy breeze was coming off the mountain. The alpine blast mixed with the damp air in the valley and hung above the ground in a frosty mist.

Nacktkultur is about finding virtue and health and joy and Germanness, whatever that is, by being naked and active outside.To get a taste of what’s now called Freikörperkultur (Free Body Culture), I traveled more than two thousand kilometers from the South of France—spending more than twenty-four hours on various trains through Paris to Stuttgart to Salzburg—to make my way to a tiny mountain village in the heart of the Austrian Alps where the Naked European Walking Tour (NEWT), an annual weeklong naturist hike-a-thon, was taking place.We were hiking up a valley called Vögeialm on a trail with the unpronounceable German name Tauernhöhenweg toward a mountain summit that overlooked a ski resort.Roberto, a lawyer from Rome, walked next to me.MoreLess
