Bad Gastein vapour bath
A speciality of Bad Gastein is the small radon thermal-vapour bath in the town centre. The first vapour bath was constructed in 1794 next to the Straubingerhaus. In 1827 the vapour bath was rebuilt above the main spring.
The thermal-water vapour is led directly via the Quelle IX (Elisabeth Spring) cave in a shaft system to the box baths. The cure patient sits for about 20 minutes in the spring vapour. The therapeutic principle is a very intensive intake of radon, which is possible without burdening circulation and without the hydrostatic pressure of a full bath. The vapour bath differs from the healing-cave therapy due to a much milder overheating of the body.
The complete offer: radon thermal-vapour bath, healing sports massage, reflex-zone massage, connective-tissue massage, physiotherapy, lymph drainage, oxygen therapy, natural cosmetics, fango hay-flower packs, aroma-energy massage, Shiatsu and Tuina therapy.
The most important indications: Bechterew’s disease, chronic polyarthritis, degenerative joint- and muscle tension, respiratory tract disease, vegetative exhaustion and regeneration.
The Bad Gastein radon thermal-vapour bath is a public spa under medical supervision. The thermal-vapour bath is especially suitable for persons with limited resilience. The bath duration and the bath temperature (32.5°C – 41.5°C) can be adapted to the individual needs of everyone. For a vapour-bath cure you require a spa-physician’s prescription. You receive this from every spa physician in the Gastein Valley and at the Gastein cure centres.
