Description of the attraction
Warmbad-Uudendorf is a 914 hectare district in the southern part of Villach. This resort village is connected with the center of Villach by bus number 1, and with other towns in Carinthia - by regional trains. One of the attractions of Warmbad is the railway station building. Also here you can find thermal pools, several hotels and sanatoriums and a private hospital. The part of the village called Juudendorf consists of several estates and looks more like a prosperous village than a fashionable resort. The famous panoramic restaurant is also located here.
The ancient Romans knew about the healing properties of local water, and they built a small pool over the springs. In the 19th century, it was transformed into a bathhouse with two separate parts - for men and for women. Then the springs began to divide the sanatoriums that appeared in the neighborhood. Currently, anyone can take a bath with radon water, which is useful for treating rheumatism, diseases of the nervous system, and gout.
In the immediate vicinity of Warmbad-Udendorf there is the Dobracz Nature Park, on the territory of which there is a mountain of the same name 2166 meters above sea level. In the village of Warmbad-Udendorf, several popular hiking trails in the Dobrach nature reserve begin. Route number 291 is laid on the plain, therefore it is suitable for all tourists, regardless of their level of physical fitness. Route 294, also known as the Hunter's Trail, is more difficult. Following this path, you can climb the southern slope of Mount Dobrach to its top.
