Treatment in Baden

Baden is one of the best thermal resorts in Austria, which has been famous for its healing springs since the times of the Roman Empire under the name Thermae Pannonicae. The hot sulfur springs of Baden were used by the Romans for many years, so now the “Roman Baths” baths deserve their name (they are open all year round).

There are fifteen baths in Baden, thirteen of which are warm, and there are also open summer baths. The water temperature of the warm baths is from +22 °C to +36 °C, the key ingredient of the local waters is calcium sulfate. The springs, used primarily for bathing, are located at the foot of the Calvarienberg mountain (about 326 m).

Entertainment and attractions in Baden

The main attraction and point of attraction for tourists in Baden is the Kurhaus. It is closely followed by the Gothic-style parish church and the Town Hall. In addition, while at the resort, it would be foolish to miss such entertainment as the largest casinos in central Europe. Finally, Baden has the largest rose garden in Austria, the Imperial Castle, 120 vineyards around and about 70 Heuriger wine restaurants inside. Well, what’s not a worthy reason for a full-day excursion from Vienna?

The amazing nature of the resort, its parks and valleys, for example, Helenental, give special pleasure to both vacationers and visiting excursionists. Not far from Baden, this valley is crossed by the ancient aqueduct of the Viennese water conduit. At its entrance on the right bank of the river you can see the ruins of the 12th century Raucheneck Castle. And at the base is the Chateau Weilburg castle from 1820-1825, which appeared thanks to the will of Archduke Charles of Austria, winner of the Battle of Aspern. On the contrary, on the left bank you can enjoy the mystical and eye-catching view of the ruined castle of Rauchenstein from the 12th century.

Thirty kilometers south of Vienna there is a cozy old city of Baden. It is located among forests and vineyards on the edge Vienna Woods. Baden- a resort, and the baths of Baden are famous all over the world. The city’s coat of arms depicts a tub with a man and a woman bathing in it, and this is not without reason, because Baden is a climatic and balneological resort.

The climate is quite mild, there is practically never a lot of sun and wind. We were in Baden in early November and the daytime temperature was +20. It was hot even in light jackets. home landmark of Baden These are thermal sulfur healing springs.

The Romans still used these springs, and Kaiser Franz I declared Baden the official summer imperial residence. This could not have happened without the Habsburgs. The entire aristocracy of those times, Strauss (the one who is Johann, son), Beethoven, Mozart, certainly considered it their duty to visit this resort. Even Napoleon and his wife visited here. Here Ludwig van Beethoven composed his famous 9th Symphony and that is why Baden is called the “city of the European anthem”.

One of the central streets of Baden

From Vienna to Baden you can travel by tram, bus or taxi. We traveled by bus through the Vienna Woods. But they say that the tram is more convenient, it’s only an hour’s ride and costs 5 euros. The tram departs from the Vienna State Opera. It says Baden on the tram. It is advisable to take a round trip ticket. In this case, you will be offered a timetable for trams back in the evening. Along the road lies a picturesque landscape with mountain streams and cozy houses. The guide said that recently a lot of people from Russia have been buying real estate here, but they come only for two or three months a year to take healing baths and visit the baths of Baden.

In the middle of the city are the Roman Baths (Romertherme), the Badener Kurzentrum health center and the 4-star health and treatment hotel BadenerHof, which offer both relaxation and treatment in one bottle. And these baths in Baden are valued because of the so-called “yellow gold” - healing sulfur water, rich in valuable minerals. 14 springs with a temperature of about 36 degrees from the depths 1000 meters will help rheumatic patients and people with musculoskeletal disorders improve their health.

Even with diseases of the respiratory tract and digestive organs, local water is used as medicinal and inhalation water. In short, all so-called “civilized diseases” are treated here. And the sleep here is generally like that of a baby.

I would like to note that if you order any procedures, it is better to do it on the spot. And then some travel agencies offer procedures complete with vouchers, which are 100-150 more expensive than euros. Please note. Procedures in Baden baths are cheaper than similar procedures offered in Moscow spa salons.

There is a sandy artificial beach, all sorts of attractions and all this is very similar to Greek beaches, if anyone knows. You can swim there from May to September.

Baden coffee. This is a very useful and original souvenir from Baden.

The Baden Kurpark deserves special attention. Firstly, it is beautiful, and secondly, it is a starting point for walks through the Vienna Woods. You can rent bicycles, very convenient and useful. Some hotels may offer them for free. That's what we did. You can find a route map at your local tourist center or at your hotel.

Products to choose from.

The city has a small market where you can buy local meat and dairy products, drink excellent Austrian beer and eat grilled sausages with sweet mustard. Next to the market is the Tchibo coffee shop, formerly Edushe. Here you will be offered aromatic coffee, and there are many varieties. And right there you can buy yourself a coffee to take home. If you want it in beans, you want it to be ground right in front of you.

We were even offered decaf coffee beans. In my opinion, Viennese coffee has no analogue in the world. I drank a cup in the morning and had the pleasant taste of this drink on my lips all day.

There are many vineyards around Baden and we couldn’t help but try the local wines. We really enjoyed white wines such as Rheinriesling and red BlauerPortugieser. For those wishing to get acquainted with local wines and attend a tasting, you can go to the local tasting room, which is a very beautiful and cozy restaurant. Opening hours seem to be from 10.00 to 18.00. You can call number 02252-45640 from the hotel and find out more.

Courtyard in Baden.

You can have a snack everywhere in Baden, there are many different restaurants and cafes, but on weekdays they all close at seven in the evening. And the prices are lower than in Moscow. For example, meat with a side dish, a portion of sausages, a light salad, fresh carrot juice and beer cost us 30 euros for two. But that’s if you’re just having a snack. And in a restaurant where you can dine on Austrian cuisine to the accompaniment of an orchestra, it will cost you from 70 euros for two.

We sometimes bought food and wine from Billa and local shops and had dinner in our room. Could be so.

Have a nice holiday!

Baden. Austria

Advantages:
Helpful, great stay

Flaws:
common locker room with Europeans without complexes, in the common sauna only naked.

Continuing the story of our journey through Austria, today I want to tell you about the Roman Baths, which are located in the glorious town of Badan. Do not confuse with German Baden-Baden.

We got from the city of Vienna to the town of Baden by high-speed train, very quickly and without problems. We bought a weekly subscription for trains in Vienna, and for this trip we bought a separate ticket. Which our inspectors checked.
But you can get here on a special tram that runs from Vienna.
Just a train, it was much more convenient for us, from the place where we lived.

You need to set aside a whole day for this excursion, leave for Baden early in the morning and return in the evening, as we did. We were able not only to walk around the city of Baden and get lost in it, I talked about this in my review, but also to swim to our hearts’ content in the Roman Baths and then climb the mountain and take a walk through the Vienna Woods, along one of the many walking routes that there's a lot here.

Baden is considered one of the best healing resorts in Austria, and the baths that have been here since Roman times are known far beyond the borders of this state. There are a total of 14 hot springs in Badan, all of which are open all year round.

Roman baths are quite easy to find in Badan; like any thermal spring, they have their own specific smell that cannot be confused with anything else. In addition, there are signs throughout the city.

We brought swimsuits and everything we needed for the pool. But we didn’t have rubber slippers with us. We decided to buy them somewhere near the Roman baths or in the baths themselves, because disposable slippers should be sold.

But that was not the case, we did a good shopping in the city shops and bought a lot of everything except slippers. Therefore, we decided to buy them in the Roman baths themselves.

In front of the healing “water park” itself there are two sculptures: the photographer (photo above) and the head he is photographing (photo below).

The cost then was about 5 euros for two hours and 9 euros for the whole day, the sauna was paid separately for about 4 euros. But there were many gradations, we took three hours for 7.5 euros. The price depends on the time and day. We visited in the morning and on a weekday, so it was not expensive. We didn’t go to the sauna; we were still embarrassed that we had to completely undress. Well, somehow we were not ready for such a turn of events. Today it costs about 13-15 euros on weekdays.

The thermal baths are open from 10:00 to 22:00

In the Roman baths themselves there were already enough people at 12 noon that we even had to stand in a small queue.

As for the story with the slippers, we never bought them. Today it’s hard for me to say why, either they weren’t on sale there, or the price for them was off the charts. That's why we were without them.

This is what the thermal baths themselves look like. Unfortunately, this is the last photo, since we did not take a camera to the pool. When you go to the locker room, you can see the complex itself through the glass. There are two main indoor pools, one with warm water, the other colder and with contrasting water, there are also children's pools and a place where you can get a hydromassage for your back. There is a bridge between them. There are also two outdoor swimming pools that are open year-round. These are the hot springs themselves.

The dressing room in the Roman baths is shared, there are a lot of booths. To close the booth you will need 2 euros, which are then returned. Therefore, stock up on change.

There are also cabins where you can change clothes. But the Germans and Austrians are like that, they are not shy about anything, many change clothes and undress near the booth. Without the slightest bit of embarrassment, what difference does it make to the sauna? Everyone goes naked anyway.

This is such a simple attitude to life that it is natural and not ugly. It’s that we’ve somehow been taught to be ashamed of our bodies.

The showers are separate, and thanks for that.

We were in Baden in April, when it was still very early spring. And from the beginning it was difficult to imagine how one could swim in the open air. But the water is so hot that the cold air is very pleasant. Our temperature was only 10 degrees. And the water temperature in the source is 36 degrees, well, at least that’s what was stated.
You cannot stay in a hydrogen sulfide thermal spring for a long time and it has contraindications. Therefore you need to be careful.

The second outdoor pool has a lot of hydro jets; it’s a fairly large Jacuzzi pool, so the main thing here is to take your place, you can massage all parts of the body.

In three hours we swam, had a hydromassage of all parts of the body and had a lot of fun.

If you're in Vienna, be sure to set aside a day to visit the Roman Baths. I recommend it because we really enjoyed it.

Of course they cannot compare with the wild Roman baths of Saturnia. which we visited in Italy. But they are still worth your attention and a great relaxation in the aqua zone.

The Roman baths in Badan are very relaxing and you can visit them, but you need to understand that everything here is quite simple and without frills. If you want treatment and bells and whistles, then you need to choose special hotels with sources where you will receive the full range of services.

What are the thermal springs in Baden (Austria) like and what does the pleasure cost?

Gorgeous thing. I traveled from Vienna on a silent, double-decker train, observing the most wonderful landscapes. The costs are small, I don’t remember exactly, but I’ll assume that the train itself is 6 euros, the ride takes 20 minutes.
In Baden you just need to walk for about 15 minutes and you are there. Many swimming pools: outdoor, indoor, jacuzzi; different depths; 3 or 4 types of sauna, gorgeous. it was definitely worth a penny. out of the category - 7 euros or something!

Medical and health resort – Baden near Vienna in Austria

ABOUT TREATMENT AND RECREATION IN BADEN

In Baden, the waters of 14 sulfur springs with a water temperature of 30-36 ° C are used for medical purposes, which produce about four million liters of sulfur water containing calcium, sodium, magnesium, sulfate and chloride per day.

The long-tested but forgotten treatment with sulfur water is once again gaining popularity.

For thousands of years, this therapy has been successfully used in the treatment of all kinds of rheumatic diseases, wear and tear of the spine and diseases affecting the joints. Sulfur waters are also used in the rehabilitation therapy of patients who have suffered sports injuries or injuries in accidents, and, in addition, for the restoration of the body after orthopedic operations and for preventive purposes.

Sulfur thermal waters penetrate the human body through the skin and mucous membranes. They influence various metabolic processes in the body and thus have a positive effect on the condition of the entire organism.

According to a long-standing Baden tradition, patients undergo treatment in communal pools filled with sulfur thermal water, which gives them the opportunity to socialize with other patients during the treatment. Subaquatic therapy and hydromassages used in Baden have become widely popular: a person’s mobility increases in water, due to which the effectiveness of therapeutic massages doubles. For regeneration and removal of toxins from the body, a course of treatment with grapes is recommended, which should be taken in the fall.

The parks of Baden and the nearby Vienna Woods provide opportunities for mechanotherapy. In addition, vacationers can visit various sports complexes, participate in guided hikes, as well as bicycle rides, and spend time playing tennis or golf. The use of medicinal products offered in Baden is possible only with the direction of a doctor.

Two outdoor pools: a grass pool and a pool with sulfur mineral water are used for swimming in both summer and winter. The relaxation pools have areas equipped with hydromassage. Complete relaxation is facilitated by the original lighting of the pools and musical accompaniment.

A large selection of different saunas: a tepidarium (40° C), three herbal and aromatic baths, a Turkish bath, a Finnish sauna (95° C), a biosauna with sunlight (60° C) complement the range of wellness options of the complex.

In addition, RoemerTherme has a modern sports and fitness center, which offers its visitors a wide range of programs - from cosmetic to special ones under the supervision of a doctor.

Today you don’t need to rack your brains about where to go or choose a health or tourist tour. Many European countries offer visiting not only famous sights, but also healing thermal waters, allowing you to combine business with pleasure. Austria is like that.

Mountain country

Most of Austria is occupied by the Alps, which stretch in the east of the country. The Eastern Alps form the main mountain range of the country, with the highest point being Großlockner at around 4,000 metres. Many mountain peaks are covered with glaciers, the longest of which is Pasterze, about ten km long.

Heading north, the Alps give way to the small Pre-Alps. There are dangerous mountainous areas here, with steep cliffs and sharp landslides. At the foot is the proud and beautiful Danube.

Austria borders Italy, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany, the Czech Republic and Switzerland. Despite the small size of the country, it is a fairly popular destination among tourists. In winter, self-respecting skiers come here; fans of active types of tourism find entertainment here all year round. Austria is home to a huge number of nature reserves and national parks.

Baden

This is a small resort town located near the capital of Austria. The favorable location provides a large number of sunny days a year and a warm, balanced climate characteristic of the Mediterranean. Baden is rightfully the best resort in Austria.

Previously, the place was popular among the ancient Romans; they were the first to discover the healing effects of the city’s springs. Today, the city of Baden in Austria has become a famous health resort. It has everything you need for a good holiday: amazingly beautiful sights, a magical climate, forests and healing springs.

City `s history

In the Middle Ages, on the site of the future resort there was a tiny settlement, which only received the title of city by the end of the 15th century. The ruler of Austria, Frederick III, assigned the city of Baden in Lower Austria a coat of arms with a characteristic image indicating the importance of the town's healing springs.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the resort was overwhelmed by tourists. Everyone came here: artists and cultural figures, singers, actors, painters, writers, journalists, nobility, emperors, lords. It was from that time that the popularity of Baden in Austria began.

The resort's attractions can be explored in a day, accompanied by magnificent Austrian music from street performers.
