Description
A charming romantic town and climatic thermal resort with hot sulfur springs, located at an altitude of 220-250 m above sea level among the green hills of the fabulous Vienna Woods, fields and vineyards. The position on the edge of the Pannonian lowland results in a balanced, almost Mediterranean climate, a large number of sunny days throughout the year and moderate temperatures all year round. Baden is rightfully considered one of the most best resorts Austria.
The life-giving baths of Baden were known to the Romans, who called them the Baths of Pannonica. In the Middle Ages, this settlement received the name Padun, and in 1480 it acquired the status of a city, which for centuries was a favorite vacation spot for crowned heads and other prominent people. In Baden, echoes of the times of the empire remain to this day - the city has a luxurious Grand Casino and a magnificent hippodrome, called the most beautiful summer hippodrome in Europe.
Baden today is quiet alleys with houses and villas in the Biedermeier style, magnificent parks and a rose garden, cozy cafes and heurigers - restaurants where you can taste national cuisine, as well as in a relaxed atmosphere to get to know the resort and its residents better. We must also not forget that Baden is the capital of the wine region, so you should definitely try local wines in Heuriger. Baden wines are known and appreciated for their fullness of taste, delicate aroma and fruity acidity.
In the autumn, when it is time to harvest grapes, hundreds of people flock to Baden to resort to viticulture - a relatively young trend in spa medicine, which, however, has long been known to local residents. Grapes and wine products have the ability to remove toxins from the body, helping to improve overall health and appearance.
Healing thermal waters, wine, viticulture, sights or the beauty of the surroundings of Baden - whatever attracts you to this stunning city, you will definitely want to come back here again.

BIOMENT method
Response to stress, nicotine and excess weight. This is a psychological method that will allow you to learn to relax after a few classes, as if you had been doing yoga for years.
How does this method work? Skin conductivity is measured through small sensors on the index and middle fingers.
Conductivity indicates the level of tension/relaxation. The patient then listens to the hissing or buzzing sound through headphones.
These sounds help the patient relax and conduction decreases. If the conductivity drops below a certain level, then the music starts.
If after a certain time the voltage rises, the patient again hears a hissing or buzzing sound. After some time, the patient will learn to turn on the music himself at the right moment.
This way everyone finds their own way to relaxation.

Weight regulation using the bioment method will teach you the right attitude towards food.
Classes are held individually and under the guidance of a psychologist.
