history

Numerous magnificent farms bear witness to the agrarian tradition. From the second half of the 18th century until 1954, brown coal was mined. Since 1854, marl and limestone have been extracted for cement production in the Pölven quarries .

In 1951, a strong sulfur spring was found that promoted health tourism . Above all, diseases and complaints of the musculoskeletal system and rheumatic diseases of the joints and vessels as well as damage to the spine are treated. Häring has been nicknamed “Bad” since 1965.

Bad Häring has been the first Tyrolean "spa resort " (not a climatic health resort ) since 1996 . With the decision of the office of the Tyrolean provincial government, the municipality of Bad Häring was recognized as a spa by the Tyrolean provincial government. The name of the health resort was determined to be “Bäderkurort (sulfur therapeutic bath)”. In addition to the baths, a cold therapy chamber is also operated.
