There is reason to celebrate in Central Burgenland: Sonnentherme Lutzmannsburg is celebrating its 30th birthday. The leading facility has provided important impetus for tourism.

The Sonnentherme opened in September 1994. Since then, the facilities have been expanded several times - most recently in the virtual reality area with a slide and snorkeling, Austria's most modern 5D water cinema, a theater tent with 370 seats and a thermal chalet park. A total of around 100 million euros was invested in the Sonnentherme, creating jobs for 280 people directly at the resort and almost 500 jobs at the thermal spa location.

20 million euro investment package
"The Sonnentherme has developed into a real success project and a leading business for the entire region, Lutzmannsburg has become one of the most important tourism communities in the country," summarizes Governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ). The anniversary is also an incentive to continue on this path. A 20 million euro investment package will be implemented by 2026 - refinanced by the Sonnentherme itself. "A good example of how companies in public ownership can do well," said Doskozil. Plans include a "Slide World" with a 19-metre-high slide tower, 7 mega slides, an indoor lounging area and a "Kids World" with many new offers.

The anniversary will be celebrated in style from next Monday: Under the motto "Let's Party", additional program highlights, events and a mega competition for young and old await until 22 September.
