100-year anniversary of Moorbad Gmös, Austria

100 years ago – in time of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, when the Emperor of Austria had spent his summer holidays at the spas of Karlovy Vary, Frantiskovy Lázne and Mariánske Lázne in the Czech Republic – even a small Upper-Austrian village got its first mud spa. 1907 the first owner named the spa after his wife Cäcilia and people from all over the country came not only because of the established guest house but also because of the new bath house.

Comparing the pictures of that time and of today you would hardly recognize it. Cäcilienbad has been renamed into Moorbad Gmös, the infrastructure has been adapted to the contemporary requirements and even the methods of treatment have been improved and expanded in order to guarantee the patient’s recovery.

Although the last 100 years have experienced so many changes, the Gmöser mud area is still a very powerful place that equilibrates your body and soul. And this should be celebrated. Accompanied by art and music performances you will be able to visit the bath and guest rooms of the spa, watch the way of the mud – from nature into the mud packs – and walk through the preserve mud area. Free massages and a rich culinary choice will make our guests feel comfortable.
