Heat wave in Bludenz: How to stay healthy and cool!

Bludenz, Österreich - Summer has finally moved in in Bludenz and the first hot days of the year with it. On July 3, 2025, the high summer warmth ensures an increase in health burdens, especially among older people, children and people with health restrictions, as the city of Bludenz reports in a current article. In order to survive the hot days well, the city has put together a number of tips that serve both the cooling and health.

The first measures start in your own home: windows should be opened wide in the morning to let in fresh air while remaining closed during the day to keep the heat outside. Many useful advice also comes from the AOK, which advises to use fans, but not to point too directly on the body. In addition, the AOK emphasizes how important it is to consume enough fluid: "Adults should drink at least 2 liters of water per day, even more in high heat," said the indication. A 60 kilogram woman needs up to 2.4 liter liquid daily. The need also increases significantly in the event of physical exertion.

healthy eating and movement

Furthermore, the city of Bludenz recommends wearing light clothing made of airy materials and focusing on fresh fruit, salads and vegetables in terms of nutrition. Dairy products are also easily digestible at high temperatures and promote fluid intake. According to the AOK, it is crucial to visit shady places, especially during the midday heat, and to shift physical activities to cooler morning or evening hours. This not only contributes to personal security, but also protects against circulatory problems.

In addition, swimming pools should be used as popular contact points. The Val Blu, the city's indoor and outdoor pool, offers the opportunity to refresh and contribute to active relaxation. The Braz swimming pool and the numerous public fountains in Bludenz, such as the Nepomuk fountain or the wells at Riedmillerplatz, are also ideal for a short cooling.

public places and social responsibility

The city also offers attractive green areas such as the castle garden and the pledenberg park, which are ideal for relaxing snapshots in the shade. There are also numerous seating. The Au forests along the Alfenz in Ausserbraz are an additional place that offers the possibility of cooling down and invites you to linger. It is particularly important to be careful: "Look for contact with the only living or older people", the city of Bludenz recommends to ensure that everyone gets through the heat well.

Finally, it can be said that the right measures and social cohesion not only help to better manage the high temperatures, but also to promote our well -being on hot summer days. Use the tips for cooling down, enjoy the shady places and remember to always drink enough!
