The Safen is a river in Styria in Austria . Safen is created by the confluence of the Hartberger Safen and the Pöllauer Safen in Sebersdorf .

The Safen flows through Bad Waltersdorf , Leitersdorf bei Hartberg , Schwarzmannshofen , Bad Blumau , Bierbaum an der Safen and Safenau .

It flows into the Lafnitz at Deutsch Kaltenbrunn , which forms the border between Styria and Burgenland and belongs to the catchment area of ​​the Danube .

The earliest written testimony is from 860 and reads "ad Sabnizam". The name goes back to the Slovenian zaba (frog / toad).

The stream was regulated in the 1960s.

In Bad Blumau there is a small hydroelectric power station and the natural thermal park, which connects the Hotel Rogner Bad Blumau, designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, with the town. A fish lift was built at the small hydropower station in Bad Blumau. In the course of monitoring, around 4,500 fish from 25 fish species were detected.
