Thermal springs & Spa:
Wellness offers in the heart of the Austrian Alps
The Austrian Alps have an indispensable treasure, in unbelievable abundance and variety - water. The foundation of all life can be seen in the Alps in a variety of guises - as a stream, river, mountain lake or thermal waters.
The Alps invented wellness. Hiking in clear, aromatic mountain air, in the coolness of the dense forests, over herb meadows and at a health promoting height above sea level, up at over 2000 metres. There: a clear stream. The water: drinking water quality. Scoop it up with your hand and enjoy. In the rhythm of your own steps you make your way up to the Alpine hut, where you will never before have tasted such delicious home-made cheese, bread, washed down with a hearty slug of freshly milked milk.
Spa: an abbreviation, which incorporates a wise saying from ancient times, one from which we still benefit today. ‘Sanus per aquam’ – health through water. The impressive ruins of the ancient Roman thermal springs
