Waltersdorf.
Thermal springs amid orchards and vineyards in Eastern Styria
Wine TastingHiking
Bad Waltersdorf sits among apple orchards and vineyard hills in Eastern Styria, built around thermal springs that have drawn wellness visitors for generations. The spa complex uses warm mineral water for bathing and treatments, set among the surrounding farmland. Family-run taverns serve regional wine, cider and Styrian dishes made from produce grown in nearby fields. Paths and cycling routes cross the orchards and vineyards and reach small wineries nearby. Apple trees blossom in spring and carry fruit through autumn. Spa routines and orchard work follow the same calendar: warm pools in winter, blossom in spring, grape and apple harvest in autumn.
