Warmbad-Judendorf is a district in the south of the city of Villach in Carinthia , Austria , which extends over an area of 914 ha .
General and meaning
Warmbad is a health resort with a thermal bath and several hotels, mainly health resorts, a private clinic and a train station . At the train station Villach Warmbad hold regional trains, the rail car line S2, the S-Bahn Carinthia as well as regional and city buses. The connections are integrated in the Carinthian transport association . A little south of Warmbad, the railway branches off towards Faaker See - Rosenbach and on to Slovenia on the one hand, and via Fürnitz (large shunting yard) and Arnoldstein towards Tarvisio (on over the Pontebbana or through Gailtal via the Gailtalbahn to Hermagor ) on the other. In the north, the railway line leads via the Villach Westbahnhof to Villach Hbf .
The district of Warmbad is home to the Carinthian tourism school and the vocational school for tourism.
The Maibachl flows near Warmbad and only carries water after heavy rainfall. A large basin about one meter deep was dug in the creek bed, in which one can bathe.
With some farms, Judendorf has a more rural character.
Europastraße 86 leads through the village. Warmbad-Judendorf has 1,445 inhabitants who live in 705 households (as of 2006). The Dobratsch Nature Park is in the vicinity .
The thermal bath
The Romans built a small pool in Warmbad. In the 19th century a bathing establishment with separate parts for men and women was built, and in the middle of the 20th century a single bathing facility. At the same time, the spring basin to the north was built in a separate house, the lower part became a family thermal bath, and further renovations followed. The last major renovation so far took place in the 1990s: the tube slide was replaced by a wider slide.
Current expansion
Due to domestic competition and an outdated offer, a new building became more and more necessary. It was announced in 2005. The start of construction was postponed from the end of 2007 to 2009 after the design was determined in an architectural competition in early 2007. After completion, the main aim is to address customers from the Alps-Adriatic region. In August 2008, a report made headlines that the state of Carinthia, together with Therme Erding , would build a large, adventure-oriented thermal bath. Federaun was chosen as the location, just one kilometer from the planned thermal baths.
In February 2010, with the demolition of the family thermal baths and an adjacent hotel, the way was cleared for a completely new building complex, consisting of a thermal bath and an attached hotel, which opened in summer 2012. In the immediate vicinity there is currently the Urquellbecken, which was not affected by the renovation work. Direct crossings lead from the hotel to the thermal baths and the Urquell basin with the spa center. The newly built thermal baths now house a sports swimming pool, adventure pools with various massage bubbles, as well as various saunas, steam baths and a fitness center under one roof.
Judendorf
In Judendorf there is the Genottehöhe with a panoramic restaurant. In the southwest of the district is the Tscheltschnigkogel , an eastern branch of the Dobratsch , with the excavated late antique and fortified hilltop settlement .
