The Bad Kleinkirchheim thermal spa is one of the most famous thermal spas in Carinthia. Two thermal baths – the Thermal Römerbad and the St. Kathrein Family and Health Spa – are located in Bad Kleinkirchheim, just a few minutes’ walk apart, and offer wellness facilities, saunas and healing waters from the Nockberge mountains.
Many guests wonder which of the two spas is better suited to their holiday plans. Whilst the Römerbad impresses with its extensive sauna area and panoramic views, the Therme St. Kathrein offers plenty of space for families and a range of wellness treatments.

Both the Römerbad and the Therme St. Kathrein are just a few minutes’ walk from the valley stations.
It was the Benedictine monks who made the high valley arable in the 11th century and probably also discovered the healing water source. Many myths and legends surround this special power spot. Thermal guests can still experience the soothing effect of the eye spring today. At the place where the spring comes to the surface, the St. Kathrein Church was built. A staircase leads into the crypt directly under the church. Rich in minerals and about 36 °C warm, the thermal water finds its way to the surface in a niche of the crypt.
Today, as then, the spring feeds the two thermal baths in Bad Kleinkirchheim and convinces with its regenerating effect.
Tip: The thermal water in Bad Kleinkirchheim is rich in magnesium, sodium, and potassium and can be tasted during a visit to the crypt.
How do I get to the healing spring? A visit to the eye spring in the crypt is best combined with a walk. Starting from the thermal road, a walking path leads to the St. Kathrein Church. The crypt is accessible all year round!
