Bad Hall

Bad Hall, Oberösterreich, Österreich
The town belongs to the political district of Steyr-Land. The town centre which lies on a plateau with the approx. 34ha large Spa Park is surrounded by the gentle hills of the foothills of the Alps with a magnificent view of the mountain peaks of the Kalkalpen National Park.

HISTORICAL
>>Hall<< was first mentioned in documents in the 12th century and was granted market rights in 1287 as a flourishing artisan settlement. After the element of iodine was discovered in the springs in the Sulzbach, today’s Tassilo spring (3 salters were already mentioned in the Charter of Kremsmünster Abbey by Tassilo III, Duke of Bavaria), the first baths were opened in 1829 in Bad Hall thus laying the foundations for today’s health care facilities. In 1855, Bad Hall became the Upper Austrian provincial spa. The natural iodine saline springs have allowed it to develop into a popular tourism centre. In the year 2001, this prosperity continued with the granting of town privileges and Bad Hall had further success with the Upper Austrian Garden Show in 2005.
