Bad Blumau: Thermal Spa Park, Circular Trails and Special Discoveries

Bad Blumau combines expansive parkland, distinctive art and varied paths to create a destination with a character all its own. The grounds of Rogner Bad Blumau cover 420,000 m² and invite you to take walks. In the 13-hectare Thermal Spa Park, the spa is connected to the town centre. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Bad Blumau can therefore plan their stay according to their own preferences: with peaceful walks, circular trails, cultural discoveries or regional activities for small groups.

Parkland and trails around Bad Blumau

The Thermal Spa Park features a pond area with distinctive bays and stone walls. This design gives a walk a special setting and makes the park a destination in its own right within the town. For a longer circuit, the Speilbrunner Trail is a good option. The circular tour leads through the idyllic landscape of the Thermal and Volcanic Land and offers many beautiful views.

The Thermal Spa Circular Trail also offers a flexible way to explore Bad Blumau actively: it is signposted in both directions for cyclists and hikers. The “Future Walking Think” Experience Trail comprises 11 accessible stations. They are connected by a circular trail through the town of Bad Blumau, the Thermal Spa Park and Rogner Bad Blumau. This allows you to discover the park, town centre and stations in one continuous walk, without limiting the excursion to just one attraction.

Art, history and distinctive places

An unusual work of art is the Water Goddess, a plant sculpture by artist André Heller. It was created in honour of his late friend and fellow artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The sculpture adds a distinct cultural accent and complements the town’s landscape-based experiences.

The parish church of St Sebastian was built in 1702/1703 and is dedicated to the Roman officer and martyr Sebastian. Those interested in historic religious buildings can include this aspect in their exploration of Bad Blumau. Another distinctive feature can be found in the district of Bierbaum: the 1,000-year-old oak is considered one of the oldest oaks in Europe. It can be reached via Bad Blumau Circular Hiking Trail 3 or cycle path FF8. This provides different options for planning the day – from a walk in the park to a tour to an exceptionally old tree.

Experiences with a regional connection

Bad Blumau also offers opportunities to learn about regional agriculture and horticulture. By prior arrangement, Rauers Vitaminreich offers guided tours of its organic vegetable and sprout cultivation for groups of 5 or more. At Schwalbenhof, guided garden tours can be booked for groups of 5 to 20 people. Cooking and baking courses for groups of up to 7 people are also offered there. These activities are particularly suitable for groups who, in addition to walks and culture, are looking for a practical insight into regional food and gardens.

The Safental Trail begins in Bad Blumau and expands the selection for anyone wishing to start their trip with another trail connection. The Hundertwasser Tour starts on the main road in Bad Blumau, not far from the church, at an altitude of 284 m. When planning your accommodation and excursions, you can therefore weigh up whether to focus more on the town centre, Thermal Spa Park, circular trails or individual points of interest. A holiday apartment or holiday home provides the right setting for adapting each day’s activities flexibly to the interests of your travel group, without associating the accommodation itself with unverified amenities.
