Historie

The thermal springs were used by the Romans, and the village grew around a medieval church. Its name comes from a saint, Kathrein, who gave the second spa its name. Modern tourism and spa development began after World War II, and the Nockberge became a national park in 1987, later a biosphere reserve.
