Volderwildbad, Mountain spa in Volders, Austria

Volderwildbad is a former Alpine spa and guesthouse at 1,104 metres in the Voldertal, a side valley of the Tyrolean Inntal in the Tuxer Alps, part of the municipality of Volders. The estate consists of wooden houses, including the Fürstenhaus and Speckbacherhaus, which together held 40 rooms with 50 beds. It was run as an 'Alpengasthof, Bad und Pension' until its closure.

Bad Volderwildbad was first documented in 1463 as a hunting retreat of the Tyrolean rulers. In 1625 Baron Damian Genger built a Baroque chapel dedicated to the physician saints Cosmas and Damian. A 1756 chronicle praised its healing baths, and the site was sometimes called "Bad Jungbrunnen". Guests included Emperor Maximilian I and the peasant leader Josef Speckbacher.

The name Volderwildbad was sometimes replaced by "Bad Jungbrunnen". The chapel built in 1625 by Freiherr Damian Genger is consecrated to the physician saints Cosmas and Damian, whose namesake treatments were offered here: sulphur- and iron-bearing springs for gout, rheumatism, stomach and nerve complaints, plus spruce-needle baths.

Bad Volderwildbad lies at 1104 m in the Voldertal, a side valley of the Inntal in the Tuxer Alps, in the municipality of Volders. The bath was closed and the site is no longer run as an Alpine inn, bath and pension, so there are no opening times or treatments to plan around. The old houses, including the Fürstenhaus and Speckbacherhaus, stand in the valley and are seen from the road.

The bath was called "Bad Jungbrunnen" (fountain of youth bath) at times, and its sulphur- and iron-bearing springs were praised in a 1756 chronicle as a healing bath for gout, rheumatism, stomach and nerve ailments. Treatments continued without modern hotel technology until the 1970s, when the house closed.
