In short, V is fake tits "models" sometimes opening their towel. If you like chasing those for a pussy glance, V is yours.

K is everyday people nude. From hot to granny. Always enough hot, never had less than 10-20. And Wednesday plus Sunday till evening it is clothing optional if you enjoy CFNM.

House rule in V is cover up and in K is "Textilfrei" e.g. be nude.

Ookay, I must say Rudolf is a bit on the negative side with regards to VinB.

I spent a weekend in B, and went to VinB on Friday, then KinB/KinL on Saturday, then back to VinB on Sunday.

The two places are very different. KinB is kind of 'nudist resort with a lot of saunas', while VinB is kind of 'club with a lot of saunas'. The clientele is also very different.

KinB lies outside of the city, in a former DDR town. DDR promoted nude bathing as the 'socialist way', and this tradition stays. The place has the feel of a normal swimming pool 'resort', except fewer kids and more grannies. If you wonder what a 80 year old woman looks like naked, go there. There are also younger people, some kids, but the bulk are 50-70, and nobody aged 13-20, a handful [3?] early 20s women. [One of them always wore a nightgown not properly closes with 1 tit and pussy on display ]. It's a large place, btw, pools saunas and the salt bath is a good substitute to visiting the dead sea, if you don't care to inject money into the Israeli economy

VinB though, is something apart. These people have really figured out the art of getting young women naked! The place was packed, 70% women, and 80% of these aged 20-40. Nobody younger.

As for 'lack of nudity ' , yes, perhaps if you compare to K. But, if you compare to any other place or setting, you will see more women naked IRL on a day here than possibly your whole life. Counting young ones, more in a day than by visiting KinB for a week at least. It's at least an order of magnitude more than any other place I've been to.

When I arrived on Sunday, within 20 minutes I was sitting in a tiny sauna with ... 22 stark naked women, and 7 guys. One of the women was in her 60s, [and hotter below the neck than half the younger ones], the rest 20s and 30s. After the Aufguess, we were instructed to go outside, walk around naked for 5 min, then come back for a last session. Then, showers, having to wait in line as another aufguss also had emptied and placed perhaps another 50 naked ppl into the shower zone. So, you're patiently waiting in line behind 2 women, while 3 others are using the showers. Then go to the cold pool, same thing, chatting with the naked women and complaining about the dick in the pool who insisted on doing a 5 min cooldown.

Yes, you must use a robe in the restaurant and lying areas. But, this didn't stop an asian woman in her 20s from walking in stark naked, looking around for the toilets, going there, and coming back. In any other place on earth, this would've been the scandal of the year, here nobody batted an eyelid.

As for the women, no, they are not mostly models with silicone, but a regular x-section of B female population in this age group. Lots of tattoos, not so much silicone, mostly normal women.

Also, to keep the place good 😀, I would really recommend all with a woman to bring here here. You won't regret. VinB is created as a 'pussytrap', extremely well made both architecturally and operationally. It's 'more balinese than Bali', being the essence of what Germans dream about when they think 'bali'. It's the picture of 'paradise': you approach the pool, there are 7 women and 3 guys lying there, before you go in, you must wait until three young women exit the pool, stark naked.

The food, the scents used for aufguss etc., is all super well made. It all fits with what women like. Which is why I think women tend to come back more than men, giving the special sex ratio. So, bring your woman, she'll love you for it.

Pricewise, it's really a bargain. For this kind of luxury, it's really quite affordable. Meal price and coffee etc is top notch, priced at 'normal' rates. KinB and VinB cost me the same, KinB is also okay, but ... not as good as VinB. (The unnecessary robe I rented sat KinB was quite pricey, and drove the entry price to VinB level. You need a robe and slippers and 2 towels at VinB, but at KinB 1/2 towels and slippers are enough. )

To summarise, VinB is unlike anything I've ever encountered, and is well worth a visit to B for this only.

For weekends, at all the places I should have arrived earlier. You can easily spend the day. They open at 8am, close late, and at Sunday there were plenty of women to oogle at 1030 am. The saunas are mostly well lit, but light conditions are also better at daytime 😀Budget: 100€/day inclusive dinner and a light snack/coffee. Bring a book. Kindles are allowed, as long as no camera on device.

What days of the week and times of day were your „bad“ visits?

In my experience K is a bit more of a lottery than V (but then if you ask me despite what some comments make it sound like V is certainly no guarantee of seeing one or even several super model types during one visit either). Only guarantee at V imo is that there are always loads of people between 25 and 40, but on some days all of them might be more or less average in attractiveness).

Is it true that VinB has aufguss ceremonies ×2 with a 5 minute break.

I think there is only one of 10 minutes and then the end.

Aufguss saunas are only one inside and one outside. Sometimes a third outside, but a little less often.

This was a spesial one. The standard is 12 minutes, followed by a shower. Meaning that you can walk from Aufguss to Aufguss every whole and half hour. To a great extent, this is what I did for 10 hours straight.

Have you had good experiences in K? Hows the scene on regular days and clothing optional days?

On the Sunday, VinB had aufguss in 4 indoor saunas and 3 outdoor saunas. Most were well attended, pretty packed or sardines in sweat, optimising the problem of packing the largest number of naked Germans into a tiny room while maintaining zero skin contact 😀

Hi! I’ve read many of the posts on this site about the spas, and I am grateful for the information and advice you have all provided. I have a few questions of my own – please feel free to answer any of them that you can. Thank you!

For reference: I’m a 29-year-old American man. I’ve been to several nude beaches, nudist events, and nude spas in the US and the UK. I’ve learned some German, but I won’t be fluent. I’m fluent in English and fairly fluent in French. These questions will discuss V in B; K in B; and TE in M.

(1) I plan to book spa reservations ahead of time as much as possible. What are good times to book entry at V in B on a Friday and a Saturday? I read that the bouncers are less strict (or absent entirely) earlier in the day. When do they first come out, and when do they get stricter? That Friday will likely be my first time at V in B – though I plan to have gone to K in B beforehand. It seems like they’re stricter on first-time guests, and it doesn’t seem wise to lie about having been there before. Should I make a reservation for a very early time, especially for that Friday, to increase my chances of entry?

(2) The reservation booking at V in B seems to be a small fee for the reservation only, with no option to choose the length of my visit at the spa until I arrive. Is that correct? Is there an optimal length of visit to buy once I get there, to maximize my chances of being let in?

(3) Regarding the bouncers at V in B, I’ve seen advice to dress nicely and be polite. What else should I say and do? I will be obviously American – would they think it’s weird for an American tourist to be dressed nicely, to the point that it would reflect badly on me? What might I wear for the best chance at entry?

(4) At any of the spas (V in B; K in B; or TE in M):
(a) Is there a limit to how many times I can open my locker while there? (to get water etc)
(b) Can I wear sandals/flip-flops everywhere (except in the pools), or should I go barefoot in some places?
(c) Can I carry a reusable water bottle full of water? (Yes at V, not sure at K or TE)
(d) Is there a place to refill my water bottle, or should I bring all the water I need?
(e) Should I bring a towel and bathrobe, or is it better to get one at the spa?
(f) When and where is it required to cover with a robe/towel? When would it be a problem for me to be naked?
(g) Where can I find maps of the interiors of the facilities?

(5) How does booking tickets/reservations work at TE in M and K in B? What are the best methods?

(6) I read that K in B is swimsuit optional (but not required) all day on Wednesday, and on Sunday until 5:30 pm. Thus, I can be naked there anytime. Is this correct?

(7) Is there anything else that I seem to be misunderstanding about any of the spas?

Thank you for reading, and thank you for sharing your wisdom!

In all three you can go to your locker as often as you wish. In TE and VB they are assigned. In KB you can choose any locker. You can bring your own water bottle and there are plenty of places in each to refill it. You can bring your own towel and bathrobe, it will save you $ and less chance of it being mistakenly taken by someone else. You should bring two towels. Yes, you may wear sandals everywhere except in the pools and in the saunas, you will leave them outside the sauna door (and you can also go barefoot everywhere). For TE and KB you probably don't need a reservation, you can just walk up and purchase an entry ticket. For VB you definitely should make a reservation and have access to it on your phone or printed. I have never had difficulty getting in VB, but I recommend dressing nicely, being well groomed, and show up 10-15 minutes before your reservation time. If it is your first time I don't think this is a problem, they are mainly asking in case you need information. I wouldn't lie about this. I remember maps in VB and TE. KB is not so large to need a map. For VB on a Friday it would partly depend on what else I had planned for that day, but I might go in the early afternoon around 2:00.
For all of these - go to enjoy the sauna experience - make sure you understand the rules (e.g. no feet on benches) - and don't be creepy, just enjoy the sights as they come...

If you bring your own stuff for drinking water, bring NO GLASS. If you forget, buy a coffee and then use the paper cup.
