The "Xundheitswelt" (world of health) is the number one address for those interested in health and nutrition. Not only the spelling of the word "Xundheitswelt" is unusual - the facilities on offer are unsurpassed in Austria.

Under the auspices of the "Moorheilbad Harbach" (Harbach Moor Spa) and the "Herz-Kreislauf-Zentrums GroßGerungs2" (Cardio-Vascular Centre), seven enterprises - the Lebens.Resort in Ottenschlag, the Brewery Hotel in Weitra, the Waldpension Nebelstein (Nebelstein guesthouse), the "Kristall" guesthouse and the “Nordwald” guesthouse - have joined forces to form the Xundheitswelt that stands for recuperation, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.

An experienced team of doctors, therapists and sports scientists is on hand to treat guests suffering from disorders of the metabolism and the musculoskeletal and cardio-vascular system and those recuperating from orthopaedic operations. Lifestyle medicine and active health prophylaxis based on movement and fitness also play an important role.

The "Wirbelsäulenzentrum Xundheitswelt" (spinal centre) is a new addition to the Xundheitswelt offering treatments ranging from preventive measures to acute therapy and rehabilitation.

In addition to the medical programme of treatments, the “Xundheitswelt“ Academy provides a wealth of medical information that is available to the general public. The Xundwärts Centre of Running and Kinesiatrics, the only one of its kind in Europe, provides hobby sportsmen and professional athletes alike with the opportunity to run health in unspoiled surroundings . Sports-medical care of an Olympic standard and first-class infrastructure including the network of running tracks and the centre for running techniques are proof that the Xundheitswelt offers the highest possible degree of competence in the fields of running and Nordic walking. www.xundwärts.at

The Xundheitswelt attaches great importance to a healthy balanced diet. Fine food, enjoyment and healthiness - an ideal combination that tastes great.

High-quality organic foods mean that guests can indulge but healthily. “Xund genießen” - products from the region for healthy eating. The “Ökologische Kreislauf Moorbad Harbach” (Moorbad Harbach ecological cycle) guarantees that individual concerns are provided with organic foods produced by farmers from the Waldviertel uplands. The members of the Xundheitswelt have been awarded the Austrian eco-label for tourist facilities as a tribute to their unrivalled commitment to the environment. The Harbach Moor Spa and the Groß Gerungs Cardio-Vascular Centre have also been awarded the “Grüne Haube” (green chef's hat) for their top-quality organic cuisine.
