Wellness Holiday in Lower Austria

Wellness holidays in Lower Austria thrive on the interplay of water and landscape: thermal spas with warm thermal or brine water, historic summer resorts, river and natural bathing spots, plus wine hotels, Kneipp trails and quiet wellness hotels in the countryside. Everything is close together - wellness is not seen as a "programme" here, but as a decelerated time-out with plenty of nature, culinary delights and attitude.

Yes, there are day spa offers in many wellness hotels in Lower Austria. For example, you can use the sauna and pool areas, treatments or private spa without an overnight stay at the Silent Spa at Therme Laa, Hotel & Spa Linsberg Asia, Hotel Schachner, LOISIUM Wine & Spa Hotel Langenlois, Schlosspark Mauerbach or Weinhotel Nigl - or book a weekend package with overnight stay, culinary delights and spa services.

Yes, many spas, health resorts and towns are easily accessible by train and bus, often with short walking distances or shuttle services offered by the hotels. You can find a comprehensive explanation of travelling by public transport in the FAQs on our respective topic pages for thermal spas and cold-water spas. Further information on travelling to the spa can be found on the detailed pages of each hotel and spa.

A lot can be organised consciously: You can travel by train and bus, enjoy regional and seasonal cuisine and choose accommodation that has been awarded the Austrian Ecolabel. Hotels such as the RelaxResort Kothmühle, the Steigenberger Hotel & Spa Krems, the Schloss an der Eisenstrasse or the Schlosspark Mauerbach show how wellness, comfort and resource conservation can go hand in hand. You can find out more about the goals and resource-conserving approaches of the hotels mentioned in our article on hotels with the Austrian Ecolabel.

In many regions, thermal spas, wellness hotels and activity programmes are close together: Cycle paths along the Danube, Ybbs or Kamp, hiking trails in the Weinviertel, Waldviertel and Vienna Alps or ski resorts such as the Hochkar in the Mostviertel. So you can hike, cycle or ski during the day and relax in the warm water, sauna or yoga in the evening. You can find specific tour and excursion tips in the FAQs for our spas and on the detailed pages of the individual spas and hotels.

For classic spas and wellness hotels, autumn, winter and spring are the best times to visit - in other words, the time when people long for warmth. Cold-water baths, river baths and summer resorts have their high season on warm days from May to September. In between are transitional periods when mild days outside can be perfectly combined with wellness in the spa.
