Felsentherme Bad Gastein, Thermal bath complex in Bad Gastein, Austria
Description
Felsentherme is a thermal bath complex in Bad Gastein built directly into rock formations, offering pools filled with mineral-rich water. The facility features multiple indoor and outdoor basins heated to comfortable temperatures and spreads across several levels within the mountain.
History
The bath opened in 1968 as Austria's first public thermal facility of its kind. Its brutalist design by architect Gerhard Garstenauer shaped the spa town's character from that moment onward.
Culture

Practical
The facility sits next to Bad Gastein train station and is easily accessible by public transport. It helps to check opening hours beforehand and arrive early on warmer days, since the outdoor pools tend to fill up quickly.
