Re: Gadolinium - okay to use in MRIs? As a general statement, the MRI without gadolinium is probably acceptable. There are times when gadolinium is important (looking at the spinal cord itself), but if looking for bone disease is the primary reason, no gadolinium is generally acceptable.
(Spa Castle) [UPDATE BELOW] The only downside to Spa Castleâa truly whimsical dreamscape filled with napping chambers, colorful saunas and poolside-mozzarella sticksâis that it's located in the remote (for some of us) land of College Point, Queens.
The castle is located on the largest island in the lake - the Herreninsel - and is easily reached from Prien and Gstadt (there are also ferry services from Bernau in the summer months). The ferry landing is on the northern side of the island, with views over to the nearby lakeshore and area around the village of Gstadt.
