On this fabulous tour you will stay in the lovely Norica hotel right in the heart of Bad Hofgastein and be introduced to the wonder of the healing tunnel that is known as the Gasteiner Heilstollen. The healing tunnel is so effective in the relief of certain ailments that the major insurance companies in both Austria and Germany cover their patients to visit the tunnel.

The Curative Tunnel:

The atmosphere within the Heilstollen in Gastein is UNIQUE and exists nowhere else in the world.
A special train takes you 2.5km into the mountain, where the warmth and humidity elevate the body's temperature to 38 oC, which increases the uptake
of radon. Radon is one of the noble gases, which accelerates cell metabolism
through its short-wave rays.
The varying temperatures and humidity levels present at different levels, or "stations", of the Heilstollen, allow treatments to be tailor-made according to the condition and the ability of the patient to cope with the heat. This natural therapy is under constant medical observation and can be used in the treatment of the following conditions:

• Ankylosing Spondylitis

• Fibro-myalgia

• Rheumatoid arthritis

• Degenerative spinal conditions

• Allergies

• Problems with the regeneration, circulation and immunological balance of the skin (psoriasis vulgaris, neuro-dermatitis, sklerodermie)
