Vincenz Priessnitz Balneopark

Vincenz Priessnitz Balneopark

Vincenz Priessnitz Company arranged a ceremonial opening of a unique Balneopark in the area of Priessnitz Health Spa in August 2010. Balneopark is designed as a “water garden” where a small brook flows through park, with a system of stops used for hydrotherapy and relaxation.

The healing effect is not caused by cold itself, but by heat that is subsequently initiated by cold water
Vincenz Priessnitz

There you can find the Priessnitz natural baths of upper and lower limbs, Priessnitz foot bath with acupressure, Priessnitz bench, water massages, showers or terraces for rest and exercise. Its conception follows traditional water cure methods of Vincenz Priessnitz. With help of cold water, sun, exercises and modified regimen we return the health to people today too. Priessnitz Health Spa clients as well as visitors may freely rest and relax there.
