Thermal water analysis

Gesundheitszentrum Bad Hofgastein

Benefit from the natural warmth of our thermal waters during your health vacation

The water from Gastein's hot springs - central to therapy approaches at the Bad Hofgastein cure and rehabilitation center – is drawn from 16 springs at the foot of the Graukogel – 1 million liters per day - from the Elisabethquelle.

 The warm water is weakly mineralized and enriched with natural radon. As a result, the body's immune system is stimulated. The natural warmth of the water used in treatments at Kurzentrum Bad Hofgastein also promotes better blood circulation.

Analysis of the water (2018) from Gastein's hot springs conducted by the Wasserlabor of Salzburg AG according to § 9 Salzburger Heilvorkommen- und Kurortegesetz 1997.

Health vacations in Salzburg: Healing waters with above-average values

Organic substances were only found in very small amounts. Water from Gastein's hot springs meets the requirements set forth in Austria's spa and therapy laws in two different ways.

 The temperature at source, as well as at the site it is used, is approx. 46° C, constantly far above the required minimum value. The healing waters significantly exceed – with respect to their content of special elements - with a concentration of radon 222 of 55.00 nCi/l at the Elisabethquelle spring - the minimum value required for bathing therapies of 10 nCi/l.
