Laughter is healthy, as both the Red Nose Clown Doctors and the staff at St. Martins thermal baths & Lodge know. That's why they are calling for Red Nose Time today - and everyone is getting involved when it comes to the well-being of children: management, staff and guests, even the chickens from the St. Martins estate. Red Noses are available everywhere at St. Martins thermal baths & Lodge, a VAMED Vitality World resort, for a small donation.

"The Clowndoctors initiative clearly demonstrates the importance of harnessing the power of laughter and positive energy in all aspects of life to improve wellbeing and quality of life," says General Manager Martin Adelwöhrer , St. Martins thermal baths & Lodge. "An atmosphere of joy, laughter and healing is simply invaluable. That's why we have decided to support the Red Noses Clowndoctors again this year." Guests at St. Martins thermal baths & Lodge were able to take a red nose with them in return for a small donation, meaning that a total of €2,000 was once again donated to the organization this year.

Once again, 14 children with their 5 caregivers experienced an extraordinary day on Tuesday, July 26, 2022 at St. Martins Spa & Lodge. "At our invitation, the Ukrainian orphans and their accompanying persons spent a wonderful bathing day with us in the thermal baths", says Klaus Hofmann, Managing Director of the St. Martins Spa & Lodge. "Thankfully the municipality Apetlon invited the guests to our market restaurant, too. And the children clearly enjoyed their visit."

They set themselves a more than ambitious goal, the team "St. Martins Trockenschnepfen", at the BirdRace his year: the three ornithologists wanted to discover more than 100 kinds of bird within 24 hours at the area of the St. Martins Spa & Lodge. "It inspires us even gives us humility, which species diversity we have here at the area - our experts did not only reach their goal - but with 107 bird species even more than over-fulfilled", explains managing director Klaus Hofmann, St. Martins Spa & Lodge. "Altogether only in our area an unbelievable 205 bird species could be counted already. That is a variety of species in the direct surroundings of a thermal bath, which looks for its-same."

Laughter where it is urgently needed - the Red Noses support people in difficult situations to get well again and find new zest for life. The St. Martins Spa & Lodge is now turning Shrove Tuesday into "Red Noses Time". Our staff will conjure - despite FFP2 mask - with the red nose a smile in the face of the guests. They will also be happy to pass around a Red Nose in exchange for a small donation. "We have decided to support this important organisation with € 1,000, - and have now also received 500 Red Noses in return. We are also happy to pass these on - and each donation will in turn benefit the Red Noses Clowndoctors," explains Managing Director Klaus Hofmann, St. Martins Spa & Lodge. "With a total donation of € 2,000, we share a laugh - that is often priceless, especially in difficult times."

Completely under the slogan "St. Martins Magic" the team of the St. Martins Spa & Lodge donates this year, so that families in the region can spend a beautiful Christmas with their children. 

"Particularly in these challenging times, you also have to move a bit closer together and look out for those who don't have it easy in life," says Managing Director Klaus Hofmann, St. Martins Spa & Lodge. "Our charity Christmas market, which would have enchanted us all, we had to cancel unfortunately pandemic-related. All the more important to us all to still implement our charity project and help especially at Christmas."

The St. Martins Spa  & Lodge donated a total of 2,000 euros for people in the region - the money was handed over to the Kiwanis Club Neusiedl am See/Tabor in order to be able to provide the best possible support here. "We were able to buy Christmas presents for children from the money, but also cover the costs of rent, electricity, heating or food," explain the Kiwanians. "Even the assumption of school and childcare costs were still possible, because education is an investment in the future of our children. On behalf of the families, we would like to express our sincere thanks to the St. Martins team for their commitment. With this, they definitely conjure up Christmas in some homes." 

Full program for young and old there is on the last Advent weekend before the St. Martins thermal baths : on 22 & 23 December from 16:00 to 21:00 clock punch and sales booths waiting for numerous visitors / inside. For a multicolored master program is ensured: Nativity exhibition, Weihnachtskonzert and an exciting explorers-Weihnachtsprogramm for children expect the visitors/inside. This year, the proceeds from the exclusively regional sales booths will go to Petra Györik and her son Max from Tadten to purchase a new wheelchair.
