Lower Bavarian spa triangle (Bavaria) |
The three health resorts Bad Füssing , Bad Griesbach and Bad Birnbach are understood as the Lower Bavarian or the Rottaler spa triangle .
geography
The spas are located in the district of Passau (Bad Füssing, Bad Griesbach) and in the district of Rottal-Inn (Bad Birnbach) in the lower Rottal . There are a total of five thermal baths in the region, three of them in Bad Füssing and one each in Bad Birnbach and Bad Griesbach.
The thermal water comes from an approximately 1000 meter deep reservoir that extends from Regensburg to Linz . The Upper Austrian health resorts of Geinberg and Bad Schallerbach are also located in this area .
The three health resorts are connected every hour by the Passau – Mühldorf (Inn) railway line, known as the “Rottalbahn”, to the Südostbayernbahn railway network, although none of the health resorts have a train station in the immediate vicinity, but a few kilometers away.
history
Thermal water was first encountered in Safferstetten, now a part of Bad Füssing, when Reichsbodenforschung carried out oil and gas drilling in 1938. However, the use of the water was initially banned in order not to compete with the already existing health resorts in northern Bohemia. After a scientific report confirmed the healing properties of the thermal water in 1953, spa tourism developed in Füssing from 1955. In 1955, the rights of use to the water were transferred from the Bavarian mineral oil industry to the private Thermalbad Füssing GmbH . Since the rather small community was not able to advance the development itself, the Free State of Bavaria began to promote the place. In 1963 a second drilling was carried out by the Free State, in 1964 another privately owned one, so that the place now had three thermal springs. In 1969 Füssing was awarded the title “Bad”.
Griesbach was named a health resort in 1969 and a climatic health resort in 1973 . In 1973, thermal water was first discovered while drilling. Since a report confirmed the healing properties of the water, the place could now develop into a thermal water spa. In 1985 the spa center, which was then built, was awarded the title "Bad", and in 2000 the entire city of Griesbach.
In 1973, thermal water was discovered in Birnbach while drilling and the construction of a thermal bath began. In 1987 the place was given the title "Bad".
tourism
The area forms the region with the most tourism in Lower Bavaria and one of the most tourism in Bavaria. Bad Füssing has one of the highest number of overnight stays of all German health resorts.
With the health reforms of the 1990s, as in other health resorts, the number of overnight stays in the region stagnated, since stays and treatments have often no longer been covered by health insurances.
