Welcome to Athena
First time at a naturist campsite. Am I welcome?

Absolutely! Even if naturism is new to you, you’re welcome at Athena. You don’t need to have a perfect body or be an experienced naturist. Enjoy the outdoor lifestyle with respect for yourself and others around you. Any questions? We’re happy to help at reception.

Do I have to be naked all the time?

In good weather, we enjoy the outdoors naked at Athena. If it’s cool or you prefer to wear something, feel free to put on clothing. In the pool and sauna, swimwear is not worn.

At dinner in the Baar and later in the evening, most guests dress. Others happily stay naked on the terrace. Choose whatever feels comfortable.

Younger guests decide for themselves whether to wear clothes. In the pool area they also go without swimwear.

Is Athena Helios suitable for children and teenagers?

Yes, Athena is a family-friendly campsite. Children can swim, play, do sports, and romp in the greenery. During the summer holidays, there are also activities for children and teenagers. Enjoy together, each at their own pace.

Do I need to be a member to stay at Athena?

No, membership is not required. Everyone who respects the naturist atmosphere and the personal boundaries of others is welcome.

Becoming a member does have advantages: discounts on camping and rentals, free day access to our three parks, and the Athena Magazine four times a year. You quickly get value from your membership.

Can I park my car at my pitch or accommodation?

Athena Helios is a low-traffic park. This makes it peaceful and pleasant, with plenty of space to stroll and play at ease.

Upon arrival and departure, you may drive slowly onto the site to load or unload your belongings. After that, please park your car in the parking area.

Can I come to Athena with a camper van?

Absolutely! We have spacious, easily accessible pitches for campers. The maximum camper length is 7.5 meters. If your camper is longer, please contact us in advance.

At the camper service station, you can empty wastewater, dispose of cassette toilets, and refill fresh water.

At the Park
Can I bring my dog on holiday?

Yes, your dog is welcome at Athena Helios! We ask that your four-legged friend remains on a leash and does not cause disturbance with aggressive behavior or excessive barking.

You can enjoy wonderful walks together in the surrounding woods. On our large dog meadow, your dog may run off-leash and play. Please clean up after your pet to keep it pleasant for everyone.

Can I visit in autumn and winter as well?

For short stays, you’re welcome from April 1 to October 1. Outside this period, Athena Helios only opens for special occasions. Keep an eye on our calendar for these unique events.

Are the swimming pool and sauna included in my stay?

Yes, the swimming pool and sauna are included with your stay.

The pool is open from mid-June to mid-September, when volunteers with first aid certificates are on site to supervise. During peak season, we aim to open as much as possible in good weather, typically from 12pm to 6pm. In June and September, we try to open only on weekends.

The sauna is open a few days a week during the season. Check the current opening hours so you know when you can swim or warm up.
