The Therme Laa an der Thaya is one of Austria’s most modern spas and offers more wellness facilities you dreamed possible. Construction of the "Baths of the senses" was completed in 2002. The spa facility is located near the town of Laa an der Thaya, north of Vienna on the road to Brno, close to the Czech border. The project was finalised after years of preparation: historical, scientific and naturalistic research and repeated fine tuning of the plans. The site was already home to ancient baths.

| Mariazell (9. Aug. 2004): Bürgeralpe (1267m), Church, Candle-Grotto, Erlaufsee |
MARIAZELL, a village of Austria, in Styria. It is picturesquely situated in the valley of the Salza, amid the north Styrian Alps. Its entire claim to notice lies in the fact that it is the most frequented sanctuary in Austria, being visited annually by about 200,000 pilgrims. The object of veneration is a miracle-working image of the Virgin, carved in lime-tree wood, and about IS in. high. This was presented to the place in 1157, and is now enshrined in a chapel lavishly adorned with objects of silver and other costly materials. The large church of which the chapel forms part was erected in 1644 as an expansion of a smaller church built by Louis I., king of Hungary, after a victory over the Turks in 1363. In the vicinity of Mariazell is the pretty Alpine lake of Erlaufsee.
Our trip with the ropeway up to the Bürgeralpe mountain at Mariazell included the entrance to the lumberjack-adventureland and to the Erzherzog-Johann observation tower.
