Bad Gleichenberg is one of Styria's oldest health resorts, founded as a spa town in 1834 in the hills of the Styrian volcano land. Many guests come for a medical cure of one to three weeks rather than a weekend break.
How the drive to Bad Gleichenberg goes
The usual route follows the A2 east from the airport as far as Gleisdorf, then leaves the motorway for Feldbach and the B66 south to Bad Gleichenberg. The second half is on regional roads through small towns and rolling hills, which is why the trip takes longer than the distance suggests.
Near the end, the cone-shaped hills of extinct volcanoes come into view. The Gleichenberger Kogel rises right above the town, and the Stradner Kogel, at 609 m the highest point in south-east Styria, lies just to the south.
A spa town built around a park
- The Kurpark
- About 20 hectares of old trees and paths, laid out in 1837. Hotels, villas and the cure facilities line its edges.
- Springs for the airways
- The mineral springs are used above all for inhalations and therapies for the nose, throat and lungs, as well as for bathing in the Therme der Ruhe.
- Villas and smaller hotels
- Accommodation ranges from cure hotels to historic villas and guesthouses, spread around the park and the surrounding hills.
Luggage and comfort for a cure stay
A three-week cure means more luggage than a short spa trip. Give the number of suitcases when booking; two people with large cases often travel more comfortably in a minivan than in a standard car.
If someone travels with a folding wheelchair, a walker or needs help getting in and out of the vehicle, mention it when booking. The local provider can then plan the right vehicle and enough time at the door.
Timing your return to Graz Airport
Allow for up to 69 minutes of driving and about two hours at the airport, so a pickup around 3 to 3.5 hours before your flight works well. Cure stays often end on fixed weekdays, so book the return together with the outward trip.
