Enjoy a very special sports event held along Austria's famous "Castle Road" which stretches from the province of Burgenland on to Styria:
About
25 hot air airships will be competing, flying over the region between
Bad Tatzmannsdorf and Schielleiten. Visitors will have a "front row" view
of these exciting races that run a period of one week. Hot air airships
are sporty descendants of the historical "Zeppelins" , they float about
50 meters above ground, easily seen by all.
Go
for an unforgettable holiday with a very unusual and unique programme.
Enjoy the mild pannonian climate and the enchanting rolling hills, home
to one of Austria's leading wine and golf regions with numerous golf courses
for all tastes. Allow yourself the pleasure of relaxing in the warm thermal
springs of Burgenland's Thermenwelt
(= the world of spas) including the spa and cure centres
of Lutzmannsburg, Bad Tatzmannsdorf, and Stegersbach. And don't forget
wining and dining in some of the region's most beautiful castles
and fortresses that offer more than just cultural delights.
The classical spa resort of Bad Tatzmannsdorf has had an excellent reputation ever since the times of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy. By exploiting thermal waters, one further step was achieved on Bad Tatzmannsdorf's path towards "thermal wellness", the most modern treatments for body and soul. Bad Tatzmannsdorf strives to maintain and gain health in a soft and natural way, combining an intact environment with the springs of warm thermal waters. The "thermal hotels" Kur & Thermenhotel or the Thermal & Golf Resort with its two Steigenberger hotels offer their own spa facilities to relax and regenerate their guests. There is also a public thermal spa, Burgenland Therme, accessible to guests staying at one of the numerous hotels and private accommodations.
For
those who prefer a sports holiday, Bad Tatzmannsdorf offers a variety
of possibilities: cycling, trekking, jogging, golf, and tennis are amoung
the most favourite sports of Burgenland's "Thermenwelt". And, for the
first time, Bad Tatzmannsdorf's championship golf course will be the location
for the hot air airship championships on September 4 and
7, 2000 in the late afternoon.
