Aigner Badl – Abfaltersbach, Austria

Situated on the southern banks of the Drava River in Abfaltersbach, Austria, Aigner Badl is a historic Tyrolean spa that has been in operation since 1772. It’s also commonly called Aigner Thermal Bad or just Aigner Hot Springs.

This traditional “Bauernbadl” (farmers’ bath) features a rustic wellness experience, distinct from modern spa facilities. The spa’s primary offering is its therapeutic baths, utilizing calcium-sulfate mineral water accredited by the Institute of Physiology and Balneology of the University of Innsbruck.

Guests can immerse themselves in larch wood tubs, allowing the mineral-rich water to alleviate conditions such as joint pain, rheumatism, and sciatica, and to promote wound healing.
