Thermal Water Drinking Cure (Trinkkur)

Bad Gastein is famous for its natural radon-containing thermal springs. Beyond the well-known thermal spas, visitors can partake in a traditional 'Trinkkur' (drinking cure), consuming the mineral-rich thermal water directly from specific springs or designated drinking fountains. The thermal water is believed to have various health benefits, particularly for respiratory and musculoskeletal conditions. The main drinking hall, usually located within or near the Kurzentrum, offers a tranquil setting. This therapeutic practice is typically supervised or recommended by local doctors and is available year-round, integrating into the town's long-standing health and wellness tradition. No specific price, access to drinking fountains might be included with local guest cards or a small fee.
