Mineral springs and forest trails below the Rosalia mountains.

Wine TastingHiking

Bad Sauerbrunn is a spa village in Burgenland, set against the wooded slopes of the Rosalia mountains. Mineral springs rise here, long used for their healing properties and now channelled into the village's thermal baths. Forest paths climb into the hills behind the spa, and the Neusiedler See lies within easy reach to the east.

The thermal complex remains the centre of the village, with pools fed by mineral springs and treatments built around their properties. Around it, quiet streets keep a village scale, while the surrounding countryside mixes wine growing with wooded hillsides. Trails lead up into the Rosalia range, giving views back over the Burgenland lowlands. Local wine growers produce the reds and whites typical of the region.
