Xundheitswelt Enns

Xundheitswelt Enns is found in Enns, a city in Upper Austria on the Danube River with the remarkable distinction of being the oldest city in Austria, its origins traceable to the Roman legionary fortress of Lauriacum established in the 2nd century CE as one of the key military installations on the Danubian limes — the frontier wall of the Roman Empire — whose garrison protected the Roman province of Noricum from Germanic tribes across the river. The medieval tower that still stands at the center of Enns's market square was a key defensive installation in the post-Roman period and remains one of Upper Austria's most evocative medieval monuments, standing watch over a city that has been continuously inhabited for nearly two thousand years. The health center here draws on oligomineral spring waters and modern wellness philosophy in a community whose extraordinary depth of history — from Roman legion to medieval market town to contemporary Austrian city — provides an unusually rich cultural context for the pursuit of thermal wellness.
