On the third level, “Maximum”, you can take a deep breath, lean back and enjoy the saunas with a wonderful view.

The possibility exists both in the indoor and in the outdoor pool. Then you can pamper yourself with a massage or beauty treatment.

Culinary highlights
On the sunny side of the Alps you will learn one thing above all from the locals: to enjoy life and food all along the line. In the valleys and basins of Carinthia, delicious dishes and an unparalleled variety of indulgence have developed over the centuries. Even in the gentle alpine world of the Nockberge, hunger won’t be long in coming. Regional delicacies ensure true culinary delights, because one thing is particularly important in traditional cuisine: the sustainability and regionality of the products.
Slow Food
In the last few years, the topic of “slow food” has become more and more important throughout Carinthia and focuses on the use of seasonal and regional products. The initiative thus shows a new way of sustainability and valuable enjoyment.

The goal is to offer you a responsible, environmental and health conscious approach to the origin, manufacture, processing and consumption of products. The community of Bad Kleinkirchheim is part of the Slow Food Villages project – Places of good life, whose aim is to restore the Slow Food Villages to their original role as a community of sustainable coexistence and a place for food production. For example, you can buy regional products in Bad Kleinkirchheim at farmers’ markets, on-farm sales or in farm shops.
