An important supporter of Bad Fusch was the Archbishop of Salzburg, Friedrich Schwarzenberg, after whom the “Fürstenquelle” spring is named. He regularly visited the spa resort between 1829 and 1843. Bad Fusch was repeatedly struck by severe avalanches. After the church was destroyed in the 17th century, it was rebuilt in a safer location in 1705 and dedicated to St. Wolfgang. Bad Fusch was also once a destination for pilgrimages.

In 1844, another avalanche destroyed Schwarzenberg's residence and damaged the church. Later, forest plantations provided natural protection for the buildings. Nevertheless, the spa resort gained increasing recognition both in Austria and abroad. By the end of the 19th century, around 1,500 spa guests visited Bad Fusch each year.

Well-known artists such as Georg Pezold, Friedrich Loos and Jakob Alt also immortalised Bad Fusch in engravings and paintings. The poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal was also a guest. With the construction of the Badstraße road in 1893 and the modernisation of hotels and various leisure facilities, the spa resort experienced another period of growth.

Of the original eleven healing springs, the Fürstenquelle, Augenquelle and Theresienquelle still exist today. Their carbonated water, with a temperature of around 6.2°C, was used for drinking cures and therapeutic baths. The water was believed to have beneficial effects on digestion, circulation and various health conditions.

After the First World War, the spa resort began to decline. Competition, poor transport connections, changes of ownership and fires led to a decrease in spa operations. An attempt to revive the resort after the Second World War also failed. Today, Bad Fusch is a popular excursion destination thanks to its peaceful location and picturesque landscape. Since the construction of the Kneipp hydrotherapy facility in 2010, the healing springs have once again been put to use.

To this day, Kneipp's water treatments remain very popular due to their simplicity. In 2015, the German UNESCO Commission even decided to recognize "Kneipp as traditional knowledge and practice according to the teachings of Sebastian Kneipp" as an intangible cultural heritage.

In Bad Fusch, there are several Kneipp options: In our Kneipp pools, located directly in the facility built in 2010, there are two foot and one arm Kneipp pools. Additionally, the Herzalbrunnen, located a bit above the facility, is ideal for invigorating treatments. On-site, you will find detailed instructions on the correct procedure for Kneipping.

The famous ribs (best enjoyed with a refreshing Pinzgau Bräu craft beer from Bruck) and the incomparable brownies, which are best paired with a delicious Familie-Schärf coffee, are a real treat.

The guys also offer a varied weekly program, where you can enjoy guided hikes, yoga, or painting courses. You definitely should try the newly installed game "Fusch Ball."

In 2020, Jonnie discovered a place called Bad Fusch, which inspired him to start writing and illustrating his children's book series. As the Covid-19 travel restrictions prevented him from visiting his family in England, he wanted to find a way to share his new discoveries and lifestyle in Austria with his nephew and sister. His book was the perfect medium for that. Jonnie's books tell the story of four animals living in the Bad Fusch forest, who experience many adventures. It's an easygoing, humorous, yet educational read.

Follow the story of Reggie Mouse and his forest friends Malin the monkey and Sedric the marmot, who discover two strange bipeds in their forest in Bad Fusch. To find out what they're doing in their woods, Reggie Mouse and his friends head to Frog Pond to see if Laura Frog might have an answer, as she always knows everything. While everyone searches for clues, they learn more about the steam and water basins and the flowing mountain springs of their forest. Eventually, they find the bipeds doing funny stretching exercises, and the friends decide to humorously imitate them.

The book "Die neuen Zweibeiner" (The New Bipeds) can be purchased for 10 EUR directly at the Jausenstation Bad Fusch or at one of the two Tourist Information centers in Bruck or Fusch.

Discover the surrounding forest, the trails, and the history. Visit the small church and the St. Wolfgang chapel. Listen to the tranquility in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park while gazing over the surface of the pond. Enjoy the activity of children at the playground – or become a child again yourself. Let the effects of the eye spring water take their course and enjoy this special, magical place.

In the center of Fusch, just after the Pension Oberreiter, the road to Bad Fusch begins. It can be easily accessed by car (with no continuous asphalt), by (e-)bike, or on foot. There are parking spaces available on-site. Thus, Bad Fusch is not only an ideal excursion destination but also a starting point for hikes, such as to the Schwarzkopf (2.764m). This way, mountain enthusiasts can skip the first few meters before heading into higher elevations.
