By a show of hands citizens of the tiny state of Appenzell Inner Rhodes voted overwhelmingly at their traditional open-air annual assembly to impose a $176 fine on violators.
Only a scattering of people on Sunday opposed the ban on the back-to-nature activity that took off last autumn when naked hikers — primarily Germans — started showing up in eastern Switzerland.

The weather in the Switzerland mountains gets very cold. One would think that would keep men from hiking in the nude.

Germans.
From the beaches of St. Lucia and Koh Samui to the trails of Bryce Canyon and the Swiss Alps, they are always anxious to go nude.
What is their major malfunction?

Those most likely to hike nude are least likely to look good while hiking nude.

All nudity stuff aside, I can’t imagine that carrying a backpack on a bare back is very comfortable, LOL.

I just hope they don't meet any girls might be embarassing.
