WARNING: Not suitable for children, (or evangelicals:)

“Naked hiking in the fresh and healthy air, when the weather is good, is an experience that many people just don’t want to miss out on.” Despite all the fun the people in that great Sigur Ross video look like they’re having (and, yes, be careful, the video does show naked people), this new 11-mile naked hiking trail just can’t seem like a very good idea. (Warning! German newspaper, naked pictures.) If only for the poison ivy and the mosquito bites.
