A court will decide whether people are allowed to hike naked in Switzerland.
The BBC reports the case is the first since the eastern Swiss canton of Appenzell introduced a new public order law last year, which permits naked hikers to be fined.
The case centres on an appeal from a man who was fined for rambling while naked in Appenzell which has become a popular destination for those who like to hike without clothes.
The naked hiker was fined after eyewitnesses complained that he had been hiking in full view of a communal barbecuing area.
They also say he walked past a Christian care home, whose residents saw him.
Appenzell is traditionally a devout and conservative region of Switzerland. Its growing reputation as a paradise for naked hikers is not popular with locals.
Authorities hope the new public order law would be a deterrent to naked ramblers.
But the problem is that Swiss federal law states that public nudity is not a crime, so the hiker is now appealing against his fine.
