On a granite promontory above the Inn river within the Untere Innauen European Nature Reserve in Upper Austria, the Kurhaus Schärding has been operated by the Order of the Brothers of Mercy since 1931 as a medically supervised healing retreat where five therapeutic traditions converge under resident physician oversight: FX Mayr medicine, Kneipp hydrotherapy, Ayurvedic Panchakarma and Rasayana, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and nutritional medicine with therapeutic fasting. Programmes range from three-day metabolic resets and targeted intestinal management to full Panchakarma courses and IHHT altitude training simulation, all supported by an organically certified kitchen carrying the Grüne Haube distinction.

The character and charm of the former monastery in a unique location above the Inn River are still special today – our spa hotel is an oasis of peace and a source of strength, new energy and inspiration. With us, you can take time for yourself, focus on yourself and discover new ease, lived mindfulness and meaningful simplicity during your cure.

In our house, these natural therapies do not exist side by side, but in a special symbiosis from which our guests benefit during their cure. We use the methods and therapies of
Traditional European Medicine (Kneipp),
Traditional Indian Medicine (Ayurveda),
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
and combine these in a special way with the knowledge of conventional medicine. This makes the Kurhaus Schärding a meeting point for TEM, TCM and Ayurveda and enables us to focus not on a single diagnosis but on the person in his or her entirety.
Nature can heal - no matter which treasure chest it opens for this purpose. The combination of treatments is a highly complex matter, because at the spa we not only treat according to the symptoms, but also according to type, taking into account life circumstances. The best of the three worlds teaches us to be more mindful of ourselves, to let intuition and gut feeling prevail, to recognise our own limits and reserves.
Kneipp, TCM and Ayurveda see the human being as an invididuum with changing needs. If one sees this basic idea detached from the great medical traditions from Europe, China and India, a prevention and healing concept can be put together from it.
