Bad Gögging
 

Bad Gögging is the only arthritis spa in Bavaria that can offer its guests - next to modern physiotherapy – the three basic spa treatments out of its own natural sources:  concentrated sulphur springs, natural moors and thermal mineral water!
The visitor can expect a health spa of a highly therapeutic standard in the middle of a landscape with a wide variety of recreational possibilities.

In the time of Emperor Trajan at around 80 AD, the Bad Gögging baths were therefore built, which made the town to one of the largest alpine state baths.

Successful drilling at a depth of 650 metres in 1976/1977 at the initiative of the association facilitated the “third therapeutic leg” of Bad Gögging: a valuable warm sodium-hydrogen carbonate-chloride-spring. Directly after that, the
