"Have you heard of the Loipersdorf broom finish?" he asks with a sly grin. We exchange puzzled glances. Proudly, he then points to the back wall of the hotel reception: "We're renovating the thermal baths and the hotels step by step. This wall can serve as an example. It's made from local volcanic clay and therefore represents the principle of sustainability. We place great importance on this in the thermal baths and in the hotels."

The Loipersdorfer Besentrich
“And what is the broom line,” we want to know. He laughs and explains, “When we put up the clay wall, we wanted to make it look attractive. The architect let me run my fingers through the damp clay. That didn't look good. Then we took a fork and pulled it through. That was too even. Then I saw a straw broom standing on the wall. I dragged this through the damp clay. Et voilà, the broom stroke of the Loipersdorf thermal baths was invented.”

What we noticed most was how soft our skin felt after several days. After three days of wellness treatments, my skin feels noticeably fresher. And I myself go home with more energy and a lighter feeling.
Alphasphere
In addition to a bath in the thermal water, we also treat ourselves to a stay in the Alphasphere. This one makes me curious just because of its appearance. It reminds me a little of a UFO. My experience in the Alphasphere is also spherical. I lie down on the blue lounger and let the sounds put me into a state of deep relaxation. I wake up refreshed after half an hour. The accompanying music is controlled by my own heartbeat. An incredible feeling! As if I were floating in a blue universe.
The salt cave
Our visit to the salt cave was similarly relaxing. It consists of 250-million-year-old salt lumps, which originate from the Himalayas. Because of the salt, half an hour in the salt cave feels like a walk by the sea. The air is pleasant for the respiratory system, our skin feels fresh, and we leave feeling noticeably more relaxed.
