THE FOREST SECRET
"Far away from everyday life" and surrounded by untouched nature is this spring paradise where you can relax and recharge your batteries. Enjoy the pleasant peace and quiet in the area of the Hohe Tauern National Park - apart from the rushing of the Rauris spring water and the twittering of birds, nothing can be heard at the Rauris UrQuell.
Just above the Rauriser UrQuell spring is the "Forest Secret". Behind it is a small forest lake that mysteriously disappears and reappears from one day to the next.
