Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
The story of Eurotherme Bad Schallerbach begins with a geological twist of fate: in 1918, drillers searching for oil stumbled instead on a sulphurous spring more than 460 metres underground. Rather than the black gold they sought, the find led to the opening of a bathing facility in 1922, designed by Austrian architect Mauriz Balzarek and visited that same year by Federal President Michael Hainisch.
Since 1979, a second spring tapped at 646 metres has supplemented the site's supply, now part of the Eurothermen Resort network in Upper Austria. The sulphurous water feeding the pools remains the site's signature, marking over a century of continuous operation in Bad Schallerbach, a small spa town nestled between Linz and the rolling hills of the Innviertel.
