Long Description:
The spa stretches along the banks of an imaginary stream. Trace its course and discover cascades, waterfalls and fountains at every turn. Loops of light illuminate the route from the spring to the great outdoors beyond. The thermal water collects in giant pools inside and out. The way is punctuated with spacious spa zones. Arranged like stones in the landscape, these themed areas have something for everyone.
Warmth is a barometer of mood. Our moods have a direct effect on how we perceive different water temperatures. But one thing is for certain: there’s no risk of goosebumps here! The pools range in temperature from 27 to 36 °C for a guaranteed feelgood factor. The body is cocooned in warmth, so you can take a break from swimming and just lounge about in the water.

The sulphur healing springs in Vienna were popular even amongst the Romans. To enable them to be used, Therme Oberlaa was opened in 1974 in the south of Vienna. In 2010, this was converted to become Therme Wien: 26 pools, 24 sauna and steam rooms, 2,500 loungers and a 6,000 m2 health and fitness area make it the largest thermal baths in Austria.
According to the German Wikipedia website, the origins of the spa date back to 1934 when drilling for natural gas resulted in tapping into a natural hot sulfurous water reservoir which is the source of the water used at the spa.
