- Story Text: A heat wave that has sent temperatures to record highs
has prompted many Germans to strip off some of their clothes
and cool off in fountains and rivers across the country.
Temperatures in Berlin hit well over 30 degrees on
Thursday (August 16, 2001) and Wednesday (August 15) was
the hottest August 15, 2001 in Germanys capital since 1891.
In central Munich's English Garden youths enjoyed a days
surfing reminiscent of Hawaii when they took their boards to
the Isar river.
Germans have a special fondness for nude bathing, and lie
by the thousands during heat waves on the Baltic sea beaches
and lake shores. Some big city parks, such as Munich's English
Garden, are also filled with nudists in the hot summer weather
and filming or taking photographs is only permitted with
the explicit permission of each individual.
