Wellness and hiking at the foot of the Dobratsch

Vacation in Bad Bleiberg

Bad Bleiberg is known for its rich mining and thermal tradition. Where lead and zinc were once mined, visitors can now enjoy the healing climate tunnels, soothing thermal water and exciting show mines.

Today, the renowned spa resort at the foot of the Dobratsch mountain offers therapies for respiratory diseases, first-class wellness facilities and top-class hotels. If you want to enjoy the fresh air and nature, lace up your hiking boots.

Since 2010, the Bleiberger miners' culture has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Terra Mystica and Terra Montana show mines bring the impressive underground world and its traditions back to life.
