1. Karijini National Park \u2013 Australia<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Karijini](\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/hdwCnYq.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
This national park in Western Australia is full of hidden coves, waterfalls and water holes made all the more beautiful by the colourful rock and turquoise waters. Temperatures can exceed 40 degrees on a summer\u2019s day, so a refreshing dip, with or without clothes, will feel all the more amazing.

<\/p>\n
Drive about 15 minutes’ south of Ubud and you\u2019ll find a green valley with the huge, gushing Tegenungan Waterfall running through it. Unless you arrive early you won’t have this place all to yourself, but on a hot Bali day there\u2019s no better place to cool off, surrounded by mountains and tropical palm trees above.

<\/p>\n
The beautiful and isolated Semuc Champey is something of a Holy Grail amongst backpackers in South America. Located in the middle of the Guatemalan jungle, this stunning chain of turquoise stepped pools, enticing caves and natural limestone bridge offer endless swimming opportunities. (\u00a9Global Degree<\/a>)<\/p>\n5. Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye \u2013 Scotland<\/strong><\/h3>\nA dip in these stunning pools on the Scottish Isle of Skye is not for the faint hearted. Even in summer, the temperatures are bracing, but the pools more than make up for this with their crystal-clear waters and ethereal charm.<\/p>\n
6. Tablelands \u2013 Australia<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Tablelands\"](\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/ThGJqoP.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Just south of Cairns, this area is home to stunning waterfalls, rivers and crater lakes. Slide down the slippery rocks or swing from the hanging vines into the cool water below. With so many bathing fantastic bathing spots to choose from, you\u2019re sure to find a secluded pool to skinny dip if you\u2019re so inclined. (\u00a9Fabienne Loher<\/a>)<\/p>\n7. Copenhagen \u2013 Denmark<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Copenhagen\"](\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/181vKlE.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
A Copenhagen summer’s day is well-spent in a boat so climb aboard and start exploring the many nooks and secrets of Copenhagen\u2019s harbour. When you\u2019ve had enough of admiring the other boats and houseboats, it\u2019s time to shed your clothes and swim up alongside your boat.\u00a0More details at thetravellinglight.com<\/a>.\u00a0(\u00a9The Travelling Light)<\/p>\n8. Espiritu Santo \u2013 Vanuatu<\/strong><\/p>\nThis tiny island off the coast of Australia is famed for its magical blue holes, formed by natural springs bubbling up from below the ground.

9. Le Moulin de Rochereuil, Dordogne \u2013 France<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Le](\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/onkDVR8.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The South of France is one of the best places in the world to wild swim and skinny dip. Go off the beaten track with a map and a picnic and you\u2019re sure to find an untouched lake, waterfall or stretch of river all for yourself. This particular picture was taken in the Dordogne, but the Ard\u00e8che also has more than its fair share of wild swimming opportunities.\u00a0More details at thetravellinglight.com<\/a>.

<\/p>\n
Winding through the rainforest on this small but beautiful island, Wanggobla Creek boasts white sands and clear, icy waters. It\u2019s less famous than Eli Creek, so if you\u2019re looking for somewhere a little less crowded then this will be right up your street. (\u00a9Fabienne Loher<\/a>)<\/p>\n11.

![\"Teufelsee\"](\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/tTi3gJx.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Find this lake by “trekking” through a forest on the outskirts of Berlin, past a futuristic-looking abandoned US listening station. Berliners congregate here in summer (often nude so you can join in and strip off too) to bathe in the sunshine and the lake, escape the concrete city and enter a realm of true, wild nature. If you\u2019re after something a little more private, keep walking east through the forest and you\u2019ll eventually come to the huge Wannsee lake, where you\u2019re sure to find a secluded spot.\u00a0More details at thetravellinglight.com<\/a> (\u00a9The Travelling Light)<\/p>\n12.

<\/p>\n
Take a stroll along the banks of the river Orkhon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in central Mongolia, and prepare to be amazed by the unspoilt beauty of the region. During the summer months you\u2019ll find it hard not to strip off and enjoy a cool dip, especially at the impressive Ulaan Tsutgalan waterfall (\u00a9Global Degree<\/a>)<\/p>\n13. Green Lake, Trag\u00f6\u03b2 \u2013 Austria<\/strong><\/h3>\nSurrounded by lush forest and snow-capped mountains, this lake is best visited in spring or summer when the water level is at its highest. Each year as the snow melts, the lake expands to cover much of the surrounding park and the submerged alpine grasses and meadow are what give the lake its distinctive colour. Thanks to the crystal-clear waters, you can even spot park benches and footpaths beneath the surface. But be warned: even in summer, the temperatures can be pretty chilly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
At this dreamy watering hole 45 minutes\u2019 drive from Brisbane, the real world ceases to exist. Hoist yourself up past the main busier waterfall and swimming hole and keep walking to find your own little spot to strip off completely and swim in the bare. Enjoy rope swings, rocks climbs, mossy waterfall slippery slides and all-day picnics.\u00a0More details at thetravellinglight.com<\/a>. (\u00a9The Travelling Light)<\/p>\n15.

Find this lake by “trekking” through a forest on the outskirts of Berlin, past a futuristic-looking abandoned US listening station. Berliners congregate here in summer (often nude so you can join in and strip off too) to bathe in the sunshine and the lake, escape the concrete city and enter a realm of true, wild nature. If you\u2019re after something a little more private, keep walking east through the forest and you\u2019ll eventually come to the huge Wannsee lake, where you\u2019re sure to find a secluded spot.\u00a0More details at thetravellinglight.com<\/a> (\u00a9The Travelling Light)<\/p>\n12.
