The spring in Thalheim is acknowledged as the oldest mineral spring in Styria. Excavations show that the Celts and the Romans established settlements at the seven curative water springs.
According to historians, two thousand years ago two major traffic routes intersected between Pöls and Thalheim, the "Norische Hauptstraße" and the "Römische Murtalstraße" – and fresh, clean water of the highest quality was absolutely crucial for travellers during this time.
We also know that the Crusaders later used the springs for refreshment after crossing the Tauern mountain range on their way to the Holy Land. The local Styrian farmers even constructed a bathhouse at the spring, where they could refresh both body and soul.
The healing water continued to be highly valued, and at the 1908 World Exhibition in Brussels the Schlossquelle Thalheim even received an award for the best spring tap, but the spring systems were left to slowly deteriorate over the course of the 20th century before being finally shut down.
The special tradition of Thalheim’s healing water was only revived in 2018: the revitalization and extensive modernisation of the system has made the uniquely mineral-rich water available to everyone again. Not only that, Thalheim is now also producing its own very distinctive soft drinks and beers.
