Aquarena Kapfenberg

Aquarena Kapfenberg, in the Styrian steel city of Kapfenberg set in the Mürz valley of the Eastern Alps, draws on sulfate thermal waters from the geothermal resources of the Styrian basin that have made this Austrian province one of Europe's most thermally active spa regions. The naturally warm sulfate waters are used in therapeutic and recreational pool facilities that serve Kapfenberg's urban population as well as regional visitors to the Mürz valley — an Alpine corridor connecting the Semmering pass to Leoben and the Styrian iron heritage corridor. The surrounding Styrian Alps, with their traditional 'green heart' landscapes of forested ridges, meadow farms, and rushing mountain streams, provide the characteristic Styrian backdrop of natural grandeur that defines thermal bathing in this part of Austria.
