Goiters, Syphilis, and Eye Doctor

Learn about how the spa and health resort of Bad Hall came to be and the wondrous effects of the iodine-bromine healing water on this tour.
It starts at the tourist office in front of the Kurhaus. The route leads with the salt maker or the goiter bread baker down to the "cradle of the healing spa," the millennia-old Tassilo spring. Nobles, entrepreneurs, princes, and industrialists gathered in the spa park, deliberately avoiding the poor people and scabby children who only received healing baths during the night hours. The rich villa culture with its famous guests is at the center of the walk through the venerable English spa park, where also disrespectful good-for-nothings roamed. The bath doctor treated various diseases, including the syphilis or lues that was whispered about in hushed tones. Extraordinary successes have been achieved since the fundamental research in eye treatment. The 90-minute tour ends in the Stadtmuseum Forum Hall with an immersion in the old bathing culture and the great successes of the Paracelsus Institute.
