Retro osada Pohoda (SNO Antošovice)

Naturist grounds of the Spolek naturistů Ostrava, an association active for over thirty years, in an area of old quarries in Antošovice, near the Oder river: a large meadow on the shore of a quarry lake, 600 metres from the Vrbina stop of Ostrava's public transport. It bills itself as a "retro osada" (retro settlement): no electricity for tents and caravans, dry toilets, a kiosk selling drinks and snacks in high season powered by a generator, a large communal fire pit and a play corner for children. You can camp with a tent, caravan or motorhome at very low prices, paying in cash; non-members get in as day guests without booking. Nudity is the rule for everyone, except for health reasons: swimsuits stay at home even for going to the kiosk, and you always sit on your own towel. Photographing people is forbidden; dogs must be kept on a lead and are not allowed on the beach. Opinions are divided: some appreciate the peace, the greenery and the friendly people, while others complain about murky water, a poorly maintained shore and awkward access to the water, the noise from the nearby motorway and, recently, brusque manners at the entrance. It is a simple, spartan place, for those looking for nature and community rather than facilities.
