WATER ANALYSIS ST. KATHREIN THERMAL SPRING

Temperature and chemical composition

Since the Middle Ages holiday guests have been coming to the spa in Bad Kleinkirchheim for health reasons. The
warm spring water with a temperature of 36°C arises directly behind the St. Kathrein thermal spring.
It was originally known for its healing effect on eye diseases. Today the spa guests seek alleviation and healing from
muscle and joint rheumatism, allergic conditions, anaemia, migraine, fatigue, sleep disorders, circulatory disorders,
sciatica, slipped discs, neuralgia and much more.
The major mineral water analysis of the “1/74” Bad Kleinkirchheim thermal spring by the federal institute for
experimental-pharmaceutical and balneological investigations in Vienna produced the following results:
