Dive into the warm water, take a sauna, relax on a lounger, enjoy the views of gently rolling mountains and do it all over again: a thermal spa is a wonderful place to escape from everyday life.

It was the Benedictine monks who made the high valley arable in the 11th century and probably also discovered the healing water source. Many myths and legends surround this special power spot. Thermal guests can still experience the soothing effect of the eye spring today. At the place where the spring comes to the surface, the St. Kathrein Church was built. A staircase leads into the crypt directly under the church. Rich in minerals and about 36 °C warm, the thermal water finds its way to the surface in a niche of the crypt.
Today, as then, the spring feeds the two thermal baths in Bad Kleinkirchheim and convinces with its regenerating effect.
Tip: The thermal water in Bad Kleinkirchheim is rich in magnesium, sodium, and potassium and can be tasted during a visit to the crypt.
How do I get to the healing spring? A visit to the eye spring in the crypt is best combined with a walk. Starting from the thermal road, a walking path leads to the St. Kathrein Church. The crypt is accessible all year round!
