The gentle unspoiled rolling hills of the Waldviertel and the bracing Harbach upper moorlands, combined with state-of-the-art treatment methods, first-class care and a healthy diet are the ideal prerequisites for a relaxing stay in the “Moorheilbad Harbach” (Harbach Moor Spa). A comprehensive range of holistic health facilities is available to guests and patients. Harbach Moor Spa is one of the contractual partners of the Austrian social security organisations.

In this modern health resort, peat from the Harbach upper moorlands, known for its special healing powers, is combined with state-of-the-art treatment methods used to treat disorders of the locomotor and muscular-skeletal systems.

Patients who have undergone orthopaedic surgery or surgery following an accident are treated here in the private clinic for orthopaedic rehabilitation. Similarly, accident victims and patients suffering from the effects of various injuries are treated here. The aim of the rehabilitation programme is to restore mobility to the patient as soon as possible so he can live his life free of complaint to a greater or lesser extent.

The latest diagnostic and therapeutic developments, combined with the long-time experience of Univ. Prof. Dr. Tilscher in conventional surgery, and of Univ. Doz. Dr. Weissinger in operative surgery, guarantee the best possible treatment for spinal injuries of all kinds. The “spineliner”, a new piece of high-tech medical equipment used to diagnose and treat problems of the locomotor system, has set new standards in the field of spinal injuries. All this plus the tried and tested David system ensure that guests in the Harbach Moor Spa have access to ideal treatment for their back pain.

The first lifestyle centre in Austria was created here in the Harbach Moor Spa health and rehabilitation centre. The aim of lifestyle modification is to improve quality of life and increase life expectancy.

Together with the University of Vienna Institute of Sports Science, the “Xundwärts” running and fitness centre, which was opened in 2004, has set new standards in active health prevention care.
