Bad Radkersburg

Bad Radkersburg is a spa town in southeastern Austria situated on the Mur River along the border with Slovenia. The town center and spa facilities spread across both sides of the river and are connected by bridges.

The settlement gained town status in 1299 and later served as a fortress in the region. It developed into a border center with strategic importance between neighboring territories.

The town takes its name from the healing waters that draw people to soak in the warm bath houses throughout the year. Its position on the border with Slovenia shapes daily life and how people move between the two communities.

Visitors can use the thermal waters and receive guidance from health professionals at the spa facilities year-round. Pathways are accessible and many routes run along the riverside, making exploration straightforward.

The town records the longest sunny hours in Austria, making it exceptionally bright throughout the year. This natural feature combined with the warm springs creates favorable conditions for those seeking recovery and relaxation.
