In practice V is similar to almost all other spas in Germany. If you are at the center of V, where there is an indoor pool, a few major saunas which are used for aufguss, and a big (and of course coed) shower area, then most of the people you will see will be naked. They will shower, sit with their feet in foot baths, enter saunas, enter the main pool, swim in the pool, and make their way from lounges or other places where they have left their robes and towels to said showers, foot baths, saunas and pool. Likewise, if you e.g. are at any of the outdoor pools (don't use the main one except in summer, use the warm shallow ones instead), people will be naked on their way from those pools to the nearby showers and lounges. But when they walk a bit longer, they'll don their robes. However, rules or no rules, people will usually don their robes when walking a bit longer also in other saunas, one reason being that it's the easiest way to bring it along. So, don't assume V to be different in practice. And besides, V has so many visitors that I don't think you'll be disapointed.
