Water, the source of life
Everything flows between the Dachstein glacier and the wine-growing regions. The thermal springs of Styria are hot and full of energy, but also soothing, revitalising and healing.
Between Bad Mitterndorf in the north and Bad Radkersburg in the south, nine thermal spas with different focuses invite you to relax and unwind.
You can also experience the healing power of water during a Kneipp treatment in ice-cold wading pools or streams in the Green Heart of Austria. Whether it’s in the central Feistritztal valley or in the Schilcherland region in Southern Styria: Kneipping in Styria is an invigorating experience! With its healing power, water is a central part of the Grünkraft Steiermark initiative that helps guests to find inner balance and an improved quality of life.
Kneipping in Styria
Sebastian Kneipp, founder of this traditional curative treatment, used cold immersion baths and showers to strengthen his immune system and get over a bout of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Kneipping …
- ... improves your circulation.
- ... strengthens your immune system.
- ... stimulates your vegetative nervous system.
Traditionally, Kneipp therapy consists of baths and other treatments, including walking barefoot, walking on stones, immersions, washings and wet packs. A popular location for Kneipping in Styria is the Schilcherland region. For instance, Bad Schwanberg has its own Kneipp Park offering invigorating experiences. Alternatively, you can try the Kneipp facilities at the entrance of the Schwarze Sulm or the Bad Sauerbrunn springs in Marhof in Stainz.
