Rogner Bad Blumau

A thermal spa and hotel in rural Styria, built by Friedensreich Hundertwasser with grass-covered roofs, colourful facades and no straight walls. Large indoor and outdoor pools hold warm mineral water, and the buildings show signs of age.

Highlights

  • Vulkania volcanic lake
  • Hundertwasser architecture
  • Pool bar cocktails

Good to know

  • Sauna infusions small and crowded, some cost extra
  • Families with small children increasingly common
  • Long walks between buildings and pools
