[QUOTE=Dirk67; 1541884]Looking for a little help with an upcoming trip I have to Germany for one week (exactly 5 days, .5 day. 4 days, .5 day before flying out)

Flying in and out of FRA.

One of the main reasons why Germany is my first time to experience FKK for sure, but also would like to sight-see a little.[/QUOTE]

As someone who also visits from overseas and makes FKK-ing part of their travels, I'd recommend not staying too long in FRA. Like you say, I'm sure it's a nice place to live & work, but not a great tourist town.

I'd definitely include Berlin for more than one day (return flights from FRA are short & cheap) , as I can't think of any city that has been more (heavily) touched by the hand of history, and Artemis is a fine FKK (allowing for the sharkiness to be found there) , and easily reached by train.

Alternatively, you could do the very scenic drive from FRA / Mainz along the Rhein towards the NRW region clubs, and include FKK World along the way.

I really don't think you would regret the latter option and you can always come back to Germany in the future with a wife or girlfriend for a conventional sightseeing holiday. If I were you, I would visit the bigger clubs (ideally between Wednesday and Sunday) and try to limit the travel time between clubs. Frankfurt along the Rhine via Cologne towards Dusseldorf is a logical path to follow. Do bear in mind that it is easier to reach some clubs if you have rented an automobile (particularly Goldentime and to a lesser extend World). Also try and have your accommodation located not too far from the club you intend to visit.

[QUOTE=Dirk67; 1541884]Is it worth it to travel all over to visit these clubs, or should I just stay the entire week in FRA? One of the main reasons why Germany is my first time to experience FKK for sure, but also would like to sight-see a little. My understanding is Frankfurt is pretty much a business city like Sao Paolo or Shenzhen, not a ton to see.

Also, how many clubs is it realistic to visit in one day? 2? 3? Just one?

Thanks for any help! Excited to see what the fuss is about.[/QUOTE]For 5 days, a good schedule would be 1 day in FRA. 2 days in NRW, and last day back in FRA (or 1 FRA. 3 NRW, and last day in FRA). I'm assuming you're renting a car. Base out of Friedrichsdorf when in FRA. Makes the trip to and from NRW even shorter. It's usually a good idea to just do 1 club per day. The only exception is when you find yourself in a club that doesn't appeal to you, it's just time to bounce to another club at that point.

Always have a back-up club in mind if your first pick doesn't turn out so great on that particular day. Usually easier to bounce from 1 club to another in NRW. So, in NRW, it's more feasible to do 2 clubs per day. Just keep in mind, those entry fees add up.

I know there are several clubs (Oase, Mainhatten, Sharks, Palace) that are either in Frankfurt or within easy reach.

Is it worth it to travel all over to visit these clubs, or should I just stay the entire week in FRA? One of the main reasons why Germany is my first time to experience FKK for sure, but also would like to sight-see a little. My understanding is Frankfurt is pretty much a business city like Sao Paolo or Shenzhen, not a ton to see.[/QUOTE]I would suggest taking it easy. No rush. You can get to Berlin area and the Dusseldorf / Cologne area clubs another trip by targeting a flight closer to those areas. You will save time, hassle and the exorbitant petrol bills that you will have to budget for.

You have 5 days and there are 5 large FKK clubs in the greater Frankfurt area. So allocate a day each to Palace, Sharks, Mainhattan, Oase and World. There are a few sights to see in Frankfurt. The museums along the Main river are very good. Do some research on them.

I do NRW and Hessen in 4. LOL. I hop clubs alot though, as I don't frequent Germany so I make the best of popular club days such as Friday and Saturdays. I like to reserve Saturday for Hessen, just in case I feel like checking out Hessen.

Last trip, I started off at Sharks, than briefly checked out Oase, and then finished off at Mainhattan. NRW, on Friday, I've done like 4 clubs. I have to choose the time wisely when I go to each one though, but I've been to these clubs before so I know what to expect. GT during the day, and ACA in the evening usually happy hour, and would try Magnum around 9 when it's going, and then leave to check out Samya, and if not to my liking come back to Magnum since it's open til 7 in the morning, but it dies earlier. I can also check out Mondial since it close at 5, it's in the bottom of my list so I go real late to see if there are nice girls there.

I have been to these clubs in the past so I can do this quickly since I look for girls that are new to the club, and rarely regulars if I have one. I wouldn't recommend more than 2 clubs in one day for a newbie. Newbie needs time to digest the clubs. lol.

It's all so that I can find the girls that peak my interest, I have to increase my sample size.

[QUOTE=AugustYa;1541531]Thanks for the information on directions! Yes some guys here have rated Mainhattan high over other FKK's but just somebody the other day was saying he has been to all the major clubs in Frankfurt and after Palace he thought the Girls in Mainhattan did a lot of upselling and also being a small Club I can imagine Mainhattan girls going at any extent to make quick money. So it is tough choice between OASE, Sharks and Maungattan.[/QUOTE]The current feedback is that World is quite good. Yes, yes, yes, Christina is on holiday now, but you have the generally consistent service of World girls to look forward to. There is always Samantha, Neya, Oana, Antonia, slim Karina (if she is still around) , Adelina, Samira, Alina.

Through the January into February period, the laurels for me went to Mainhattan and then Sharks. Oase I am not so interested as what new girls there are of no interest and the regular girls there bore me now. Now World is getting interesting again. True at Mainhattan you have girls like Sally / Elli but she was not there last weekend, but Michelle / Elena was. Right now the mix at Mainhattan is not so good. Maybe it is because we did it to death these last 2 months and getting bored and have not been back to World for some time has caused it?

So what do we make of all these comments an feed backs? It means that the line ups in each club is variable and depends on your mood an how you take the situation. The best sauna club or FKK is the one that you are in right now.

Just visit and see for your self.

Please report back your findings to share with us as we have shared with you.

Hi,

I was really looking forward to visiting Magnum when I am in dusseldorf in April. After reading the threads I am keep seeing people talking about Turkish thugs and Turkish gangsters coming it the club. Do these guys give people problems? Being from North America and out of my element I tend to be rather cautious. What's is a better club, Dolce Vita or Magnum?

Please read those posts in the light of having an element of sectarianism in them.

Enjoy your visit to Magnum where you can party on to 7am.

I was going to use FRA as a base to see the main FRA clubs as well as World, Sharks, Oase.

Sounds like I should devote more time to the NRW clubs, which I gather are the ones on the way to GT?

FRA or nearby: Mainhatten, Oase, World, Sharks, Palace, of which Mainhatten and Oase are the best, with World recently showing promise?

With so many choices it's hard to know what to do!

How much more would be a good budget in general for girls, would $200-300 USD be sufficient to allocate per club?

They strut around with a certain swagger, but unless you are looking for a fight, you should have no problems. Just like you, they are there to have fun with hot chicks. If there are any potential trouble, it is between other groups of men with chips on their shoulders. They create their own tension.

Just mind your business & have a good time.

DV & Magnum are about the same. DV is a bit more pricey 50+50 for an hour & Magnum is bit cheaper 50+30 an hr. Food is def much much better at Magnum.

I prefer the lineup of girls at LR compared to those 2.

Thanks for the feedback Vito I appreciate it! I guess at the end of the day I would prefer to go to the place with the better lineup so I will check out LR while I'm there. How far of a drive is LR from the harbor in Dusseldorf? I will be there from April 5-12, will the lineup be affected because of Easter during this time?

You sound like you are in Germany for two weeks but you have only got five days. Keep in mind that some guys will spend 10 hours or more in the clubs. Of course they may have a few buddies for company and this can make it easier to hang out in the clubs when you know a few like-minded individuals.

[QUOTE=Dirk67;1542406]Sounds like I should devote more time to the NRW clubs, which I gather are the ones on the way to GT?[/QUOTE]Not necessarily!

You should be able to rent a car for a duration of 5 days for €200 to €300. If renting a car I would normally use Hertz and Sixt. It might be worth comparing rental prices off the Hertz UK (in Sterling / English Language) or Hertz Ireland (in Euro / English Language) as opposed to just blindly accepting the Hertz US price. Some of the better clubs (World and GoldenTime) are not all that easy to reach by public transport. There is no problem finding parking at the bigger clubs and parking in Germany (the home of the automobile and the autobahn) is normally very convenient. If you have a SatNav you will have no difficulty travelling about.

With so many choices it's hard to know what to do![/QUOTE]You need to decide if you are visiting the clubs primarily or if this is a sightseeing vacation! If you are primarily visiting clubs I would concentrate on FKK Oase, FKK Sharks, FKK World, FKK Palace (go to Palace only as long as no big trade fair in Frankfurt) , Samya or Goldentime. In other words stay around Frankfurt and maybe travel (on one day as far as Cologne / Samya) or further north to the German / Dutch border and GoldenTime.

If you post a few more times you should attain senior member status and the advantage of ISG private mail system. You might be able to meet up with a few senior members in the clubs. If I happen to be around I would be happy to meet up with you in one of the clubs. Send me a private mail when you have that service.

With so many choices it's hard to know what to do![/QUOTE]What I would advise is make sure you have an itinerary based on quality over quantity. Your original schedule exhausts me just reading it! You'll come back from your holiday needing a holiday.

Bear in mind most visits to an FKK are probably mid-afternoon through evening, especially if you want multiple sessions. And, all those sessions take something out of you. For a newbie, the "wow" factor can make you over-indulge. It certainly did for me the first visit. So, I'd suggest any day devoted to an FKK visit be solely allocated for that activity.

It's hard to advise in more detail when you don't know where someone lives, how often they may be able to visit in the future, and what your key interests are re sightseeing. I think you just need to prioritize the things that would matter most to you, assign them to days until you run out, and then look forward to what is comfortably doable in the time available on this trip. Afterwards, you will be much better positioned to plan return visits, something the FKKs tend to make you think about once you're home again!

Thanks for all the advice- once I get the ability to PM will definitely PM to see about meeting up at the clubs. Do folks ever carpool to GT?
