As far back as the Middle Ages, Igls was renowned far and wide for the healing properties of its sulphur baths. The popularity of Igls as a spa resort developed further in the middle of the 19th century, largely due to its mild climate and its sunny plateau location. And these two merits still hold true today. Indeed Igls now has several more strings to its fiddle as far as health and spa amenities are concerned, including the newly refurbished Parkhotel Igls, a centre for Modern Mayr Medicine. Its main focus is on detoxifying the digestive system, an important factor when you consider the fact that 70% of the immune system is located in the digestive tract.

The Kneipp water therapy facility in the centre of Igls also boasts health-promoting properties. Water treatments and movement therapy along with herbal teas, a balanced diet and positive thinking form the 5 pillars of the Kneipp philosophy. To your good health!
