Last but not least: Naked over the mountains
Nude hiking seems to be the topic of the moment. Ever since the canton of Appenzell stipulated, as part of its new law on minor offenses, that nude hikers face a fine of 200 francs, the public has been eager to learn more about this peculiar passion shared by some mountaineers. A reporter from 20 Minuten even dared to try it out for himself.
Naked hiking seems to be the topic of the hour. Since the canton of Appenzell has stipulated in its new penal code that naked hikers must expect a fine of 200 Swiss francs, the public wants to know more about the strange passion of some alpinists. A reporter from 20 Minuten even dared to Self-test and went into the mountains with an experienced naked hiker. Clutching his cell phone and camera tightly, he followed the tanned man with the alias "Puistola" up the Fähnerenspitz in Appenzellerland. "It's about freedom. It's a completely different kind of walking, one without resistance and more intense," says Puistola, explaining the fascination. He himself started doing it 30 years ago. We'll wait until the naked climbing trend comes along.
