THERME Bad Vöslau
An oasis of R&R, surrounded by imperial buildings: swim in a place full of history! With the motto “a fresh new summer”, the thermal baths in the 45,000 m² park with four pools and unique rock formations invite you to take a dip. Lots of space to stretch out and plenty of private spots are the perfect setting for relaxing, swimming and having a wonderful day.
