Keep your clothes on - naked hiking forbidden in Switzerland!

Hikers can no longer let it all hang out in part of Switzerland after naked walking was made illegal.

The rule was introduced in the Swiss canton of Appenzell-Innerrhoden and it means walking in the bare is now forbidden, and nudist hikers will be punished with a fine of €133 if they are caught.

A vote on Sunday passed the new rule in the tiny region, and it came about after hikers who were spotted in their birthday suits last autumn caused an outrage amongst local residents.

And a group of ramblers posted a note online that named the mountain region as the perfect spot for naked walking.

The new law is not just against naked hiking, but has also seen abusive behaviour, urinating in public, noise and littering banned.

A stark-naked wonderer was stopped by police in the region last year but received no fine because he was not breaking the law at the time.

There are still places, however, where you can strip down to your birthday suit completely at your leisure – but we aren't telling you where!
