Comforting warmth or refreshing coolness?

Water sports

All kinds of water sports have been practised in the Thermen- & Vulkanland region for many years. Swimming is far from being the only activity on the programme: stand-up paddling and canoeing awaken muscles you never knew you had, and spark an urge to jump into the refreshing waters.

Swimming is one of the sports that give you the most buoyancy, at least physically. It’s a healthy pastime that helps keep you slim and fit. Endurance swimmers feel comfortable in their own bodies and find it easier to tackle stresses and strains. The Thermen- und Vulkanland Steiermark offers many options for swimming, for example Austria’s largest outdoor pool, the “Freibad” in Fürstenfeld.

STAND-UP PADDLING

Stand-up paddling is a relatively new sport, originating in Hawaii. It has now won devotees in the Thermen- & Vulkanland Steiermark. Regardless of whether you need a little time out, want to banish your stress through some fun, vigorous exercise, or are simply looking for a good summer sport, stand-up paddling comes highly recommended. It’s a great leisure activity, out on rivers or lakes, and it involves a full-body workout too.

Stand-up paddling protects the joints and also rewards paddlers with quick success in building up their coordination and fitness. It carries you unerringly to all corners of a lake or a tranquil river that you would never get to see otherwise.
