I agree that more people walk around nude there, but they are also mostly older.
Someone asked about the pool at V. Fully nude. As are several other small relax tubs. Three outside and one inside.
You will possibly be very close to others in the small relax pools.
I also agree that TE is generally older than V, at least when I was there in the summertime.
But at all 3 places I saw daughters with mothers (at least a couple at each). At V there were more groups of young women for a spa day.
I posted before, but the transition at K on a Sunday afternoon was disappointing. Many of the people in bikinis that I was hopeful to see after the transition just left about then. Maybe it is different during busier times.

I noticed this for Hallenbad Allmend. Seems like a good opportunity...

I have the chance to go to either Z in A, V in D (not B) or any other thermae near D of K*ln.
The last reports from Z are not very positive. I haven't read any Reports about V in D. I have been to E*switchen which was great.

What would you guys pick?

You have two options near Koln

N in K or take a half an hour train to Aachen to visit the main one there. It begins with letter C

Both very good

I once went to N in K and was skeptical before but pleasantly surprised both by the architecture and the crowd. I think it is kind of the equivalent to V in B for K (or as close as it gets in style and crowd, although it is architecturally quite different). I think the fact that is fairly central and easily accessible by public transport (like V in B but not V in D) has an effect on the crowd. Many 20somethings living in a big city don’t own a car.

If you go half an hour east from K to Med*teran* in B. Gladb., that also looks great, but I‘ve never been. Can anybody recommend it?

Aachen is 1hour closer to me, so that's absolutely also a possibility. Is the one in Aachen fully nude, or is there a clothed and nude section?

Why bother with code-letters for places? Vabali is a place. Zuiver is a place. etc.

I'm actually going to koln in a few weeks but I only have a Monday free. Which one would you recommend for a Monday? I was already considering N, M, and V in D.

Because People Google those names and this is the last site you want them to find the Google results

Because if enough people say the names it will appear on Google searches

It starts appearing on Google searches gets what happens over time?

Women stop going to these type of places

Use common sense
