As far back as two thousand years ago (in the Roman ages) people suffering from locomotion disorders came to look for cure to the mineral springs at Balf, rich in hydrogene sulphide.

Among the attraction of the site and medical potentials of the environment the following may be mentioned:
- The high hydrogene sulphide content of the mineral water (14mg/l); the alkaline, slight carbonic and lithionic acid concentration of the the springs is suitable for drinking cures.
- The mild alpine climate influence and the moderating effect of surrounding forestes provide a pleasant macroclimate in locality.
- The attractiveness of the natural environment.

Treatment with natural water containing hydrogene sulphide is available at the bathhouse. There are swimming pools, bath and suspension of body in hot bath with added weight.

Treatment paralell with rehabilitation of patients takes places in the Balf Medical-Castle Hotel, however possibilities for preventive and conditioning cures are also available, e.g. the covered swimming pool and and gymnasium providing training and rehabilitative swimming.
