ABOUT TREATMENT AND REST IN BADEN
In Baden, for medical purposes, the waters of 14 sulfur springs with a water temperature of 30-36 ° C are used, which give about four million liters of sulfuric water per day, containing calcium, sodium, magnesium, sulfate and chloride.
The long-tried, but forgotten, treatment with sulfuric waters is gaining popularity again.
For thousands of years, this therapy has been successfully used in the treatment of all kinds of rheumatic diseases, the phenomena of "wear" of the spine and diseases affecting the joints. Sulfur waters are also used in the rehabilitation therapy of patients with sports injuries or injuries in accidents, and, in addition, for the recovery of the body after orthopedic operations and for prophylactic purposes.
Sulfur thermal waters penetrate the human body through the skin and mucous membranes. They affect various metabolic processes in the body and thus have a positive effect on the state of the entire body.
According to a long-standing Baden tradition, patients take their treatments in communal pools filled with sulfuric thermal water, which gives them the opportunity to communicate with other patients during the procedure. The sub-aquatic therapy and hydro-masses used in Baden have gained wide popularity: in water, a person's mobility increases, due to which the effectiveness of therapeutic massages doubles. For the 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 in Baden and the nearby Vienna Woods provide opportunities for mechanotherapy. In addition, vacationers can visit all kinds of sports complexes, participate in guided hikes, as well as cycling, spend time playing tennis or golf. The use of the medicinal products offered in Baden is possible only with a referral from a doctor.
Two outdoor pools: a herbal pool and a pool with sulfuric mineral water are used for swimming both in summer and in 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 health-improving opportunities of the complex.
In addition, RoemerTherme has a modern fitness and wellness center, which offers its visitors a wide range of programs - from cosmetic to special under the supervision of a doctor.

We recommend the RoemerTherme in Baden to everyone who wants to get rid of stress and daily overload.

Description
A charming romantic town and climatic thermal spa with hot sulphurous springs, located at an altitude of 220-250 m above sea level among the green hills of the fabulous Vienna Woods, fields and vineyards. The location on the edge of the Pannonian Plain provides a balanced, almost Mediterranean climate, a large number of sunny days a year and moderate temperatures all year round. Baden is rightfully considered one of the best resorts in Austria.
The life-giving baths of Baden were known to the Romans, who called them the Baths of Pannonica. In the Middle Ages, this settlement received the name Padun, and in 1480 it acquired the status of a city, which for centuries was a favorite resting place for crowned heads and other prominent people. In Baden, to this day, echoes of the times of the empire are preserved - in the city there is a luxurious Grand Casino and a magnificent hippodrome, which is called the most beautiful summer hippodrome in Europe.
Baden today is quiet side streets with Biedermeier-style houses and villas, magnificent parks and a rose garden, cozy cafes and heurigers - restaurants where you can taste national cuisine, as well as get to know the resort and its inhabitants in a relaxed atmosphere. It should also be remembered that Baden is the capital of the wine-growing region, so you should definitely try local wines in the Heurigers. Baden wines are known and appreciated for their fullness of taste, delicate aroma and fruity acidity.
In the fall, when the grape harvest comes, hundreds of people flock to Baden who want to resort to grape therapy - a relatively young trend in spa medicine, which, however, has long been known to the locals. Grapes and wine products have the ability to remove toxins from the body, helping to improve overall well-being and appearance.
Healing thermal waters, wine, vineyards, the sights or the beauty of the Baden surroundings - whatever attracts you to this stunning city, you will definitely want to come back here again.
