You won’t find the ordinary here: no grimy massage studio image, no small and noisy rooms, no one who is trying to sell you ten treatments at your first visit. The Stressdeponie is a place that combines massage treatments and lifestyle. Here you can explore a variety of different international massage techniques like lomi lomi, tuina, pantha jama, nuad thai and ayurveda as well as all the traditional ones.

The four treatment rooms are unique and differ in interior, design and atmosphere. Before or after your massage you can sip a coffee, tea, detoxifying smoothie or browse through a selection of organic products. This is a place where you can relax completely, get rid of your stress and leave without any tension in your body.

Located in the middle of the historic horse racing stadium Krieau, Pratergolf comes with a driving range, chipping, putting and pitching green and a training bunker. The contrast between the charming Gründerzeit architecture and the surrounding huge new office buldings is jaw-dropping.

Have a melange and a piece of the famous Topfenstrudel at the golf bar on the sunny terrace of the distinctive race observation tower. The tower, built in 1880, is at the heart of the course.

For only €8 you can play 50 golf balls with the horse paddock right behind you. There’s no strict dress code, but don’t expect to see too many people wearing jeans.

Feeling dead tired? Invigorate the senses with a visit to the Oceanum salt cave filled with 14 tons of particles from the…Dead Sea. Natural salt tiles deck the walls, salt stalagmite hang from the ceiling and a thick layer of salt blankets the floors. Relax on deck chairs with calming music and pleasant lighting.

The healing and beautifying effects of crystal salt have been treasured since Cleopatra’s times. In fact, sodium chloride is commonly prescribed for asthma, allergies, bronchitis and skin problems. With a microclimate of a constant 20° Celsius, the caves fill every breath with minerals and trace elements such as iodine, magnesium, calcium, bromide and iron—increasing stamina and strengthening immune systems. The resulting climate is known to promote the skin’s production of elastins and collagen while accelerating fat-burning metabolisms (read: anti-aging beauty treatment!).

Kids with health problems won’t protest to this treatment—during special sessions, they get to play and dig around in this salt pit. A cool party tip: you can rent the salt cave for private events.
