The traditional healing water of Bad Gleichenberg
The Johannisbrunnen was first mentioned in a document as early as 1678, making it the longest-used acidulous well in Styria. The healing water is bottled directly at the spring in Hof near Straden and has a healing, preventive and soothing effect due to the large number of vital minerals and trace elements. It improves the body's defenses and increases concentration and performance.
