The village in the middle of the Gastein Valley offers families, sports enthusiasts, senior citizens and bon vivants alike a real variety of holiday options.<\/p>\n<h2>Relaxing in Bad Hofgasetin<\/h2>\n<p>Here, everyday life comes to rest. When you enter the alpine water worlds of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpentherme.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alpentherme,<\/a> you simply close the door to daily routine. While taking a sauna, enjoying a spa treatment, swimming in the indoor pools or the thermal water bathing lakes, you can relax wonderfully and gather strength for the next holiday adventures in the Gastein Valley.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for a completely natural experience, go forest bathing in the Angertal valley. You can leave your bathing suit at home, because during forest bathing you let the health-promoting messenger substances of the forest take effect on you during a quiet walk or hike.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_531300\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-531300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-531300\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/waldbaden-slt-reportage-gastein-wald-by-michael-groessinger-asalzburgerland-18-min-1-1170x658-1-1024x569.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/waldbaden-slt-reportage-gastein-wald-by-michael-groessinger-asalzburgerland-18-min-1-1170x658-1-1024x569.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/waldbaden-slt-reportage-gastein-wald-by-michael-groessinger-asalzburgerland-18-min-1-1170x658-1-370x206.jpeg 370w, https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/waldbaden-slt-reportage-gastein-wald-by-michael-groessinger-asalzburgerland-18-min-1-1170x658-1-270x150.jpeg 270w, https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/waldbaden-slt-reportage-gastein-wald-by-michael-groessinger-asalzburgerland-18-min-1-1170x658-1-540x300.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/waldbaden-slt-reportage-gastein-wald-by-michael-groessinger-asalzburgerland-18-min-1-1170x658-1-150x84.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-531300\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">c Michael Gr\u00f6ssinger forest bathing in Gastein<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"59418-1\" class=\"gallery gallery-59418 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-1170_658\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"gallery-row gallery-col-3 gallery-clear\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"gallery-item col-3\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/thermalwasserbadesee-mit-blick-auf-die-alpentherme-c-gasteinertal-tourismus-gmbh-wkrug-scaled-1-1920x1067.jpeg\" title=\"thermalwasserbadesee-mit-blick-auf-die-alpentherme-c-gasteinertal-tourismus-gmbh-wkrug-scaled\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-title=\"(c)Werner Krug, Thermalwater lake\" title=\"(c)Werner Krug, Thermalwater lake\" data-caption=\"(c)Werner Krug, Thermalwater lake\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salzburgerland.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/thermalwasserbadesee-mit-blick-auf-die-alpentherme-c-gasteinertal-tourismus-gmbh-wkrug-scaled-1-1170x658.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-1170_658 size-1170_658\" alt=\"A man and woman in swimwear sit on a wooden jetty by a swimming pool, with mountains and a modern building behind them.
