Between thermal springs, cuisine, and top athletic performances!
Richard Deutinger travels through southeastern Styria for “Heimatleuchten” and discovers the Thermal Spa & Volcano Region as a unique combination of nature, cuisine, and quality of life. Between hot springs, gentle hills, and volcanic landscapes, a region reveals itself where enjoyment, activity, and relaxation naturally intertwine.
From Rogner Bad Blumau via Riegersburg to southern Styria, the host meets producers who create regional specialties with great passion. Thermal water, fertile soils, and artisanal diversity combine to form one of Austria’s most distinctive culinary landscapes.
Bad Waltersdorf presents itself as the heart of the region and as a major thermal spa and health resort in the Thermal Spa & Volcano Region. The combination of healing thermal water, natural surroundings, and genuine hospitality makes this town a strong center for regeneration, activity, and well-being.
Athletic encounters also shape the region’s character: Richard Deutinger meets para-cyclist Thomas “Tigger Tom” Frühwirth as well as world champion Heidelinde Jeitler from BSV Thermenland in Bad Waltersdorf, who impresses with her athletic performance and strong regional roots. She exemplifies the connection between discipline, activity, and joie de vivre that is actively lived in Bad Waltersdorf.
BSV Thermenland in Bad Waltersdorf also demonstrates with archery and blowgun activities amidst orchards how active recreation harmoniously blends into the landscape and makes the region uniquely accessible for sports.
This creates the image of a region where relaxation, activity, and cuisine naturally combine—with Bad Waltersdorf as one of its strongest and most vibrant focal points.
