The naturist club Hertogstad (Duke Town) has been founded in 1957. Since then the number of members has gradually grown to approximately 400. Though the summer is the most important season for the naturist, the members of Hertogstad also meet in winter. Often the sauna is open and new years meeting is on the second sunday in the new year. Also in winter, work has to be done to maintain the site and its buildings. Every member is supposed to work two days a year on the site. To be a member of Hertogstad is more than nude recreation. You are a member of a hospitable club where you can make and meet friends.

A Smoothy.... Until recently this word was unknown in the nudist world, but now it is becoming fully accepted. Smoothies drop their last piece of clothing - their pubic hair - and so these nudists are barer than nude! The word ‘smooth’ refers to the clean shaven body.
