Unique in South Tyrol: The Forest Bathing Path
with sauna sessions and Kneipp treatment in the mountain stream
The journey begins at the brine pavilion and leads to the wild and romantic stream sauna, right next to the rushing mountain stream, which invites you to take a dip. The infrared gondola swings towards the edge of the forest offering a view to the dense forests and imposing mountain peaks. The stimulating barefoot path brings you to the shamanic sweat cave, that is just above the 4 elements power platform, where yoga and Qi Gong are practised in summer. At last the 700 metre long forest bathing trail, covered in dense greenery ends at the Dolomites viewpoint. On wooden loungers, you can attentively enjoy the silence and listen to nature. Until late in the evening, the golden hours cover the secluded nature promenade in in a warm and meditative light. An experience for all the senses.
A guided sensory journey with a final float in the salt water grotto.
While we are in the forest, we find peace and come into silence to listen, smell, feel and perceive pure nature. It reduces stress and strenghtens the immune system.
Our forest bathing ritual starts at the BadehausSpa and leads you along the 4-element power platform towards the ‘Wasserle’ stream and further along the 700m long forest bathing promenade to the Dolomite viewpoint. On the way back, you stop at the sweat hut, which invites you to gently sweat with a herbal incense ritual. Heading off to the Kneipp treatment in the cool mountain stream, that cools us down and revitalises our senses. Conclude the ritual with a weightless float (approx. 45 min.) in the 34°C salt water grotto, which has a positive effect on joints and tension. Immerse yourself in pure relaxation.
A lasting expericene that appeals to all the senses and creates a feeling of internal peace and renewal (from May to Ocotober).
Includes a forest bathing booklet for you to take home.
The ‘Temazcalli’ or sweat lodge ritual is a journey into the womb of Mother Earth. The cave made of wood, clay and stone is heated with hot stones and allows us to purify different aspects of our being: physically, mentally and spiritually. The power of the elements in both silent and sonorous being, stories, prayers, sounds and songs, as well as the sound of the shaman drum and other instruments, support the indigenous cleansing ritual. Each ceremony is new and unique and accompanied by a trained shaman. Guided by the breath, the chants and the sounds of the earth, the life energy is transformed and you experience a rebirth of your being.
For a total of 2 hours, we breathe in the scent of various herbs and cleanse body and soul in a meditative atmosphere. In between, the door is opened regularly and water is served for refreshment.*

A very special sauna experience. The SilberQuarzit® sauna ritual is celebrated in our steam sauna with high-quality silver quartzite healing clay granules and the revitalising energy of wild mountain juniper. A completely new sauna experience that harmonises body and mind. The 50-minute ritual is based on the following procedure: incense, juniper oil rub, silver quartzite peeling in the steam bath, followed by a liver wrap with sheep's wool and a cup of mountain herbal tea for holistic regeneration.

While bathing in the forest we find peace and the silence to listen, smell, feel and perceive to the fullest. Stress is reduced and the immune system is demonstrably strengthened.
The saunas and resting places along the forest bathing promenade have their very own flair. The connected forest bathing walking trail, which you can enjoy in your bathrobe is a special experience itself. The path is easy to go and leads you through the green thicket to the Dolomites viewpoint.
A very special place to find peace and strength is the 4 elements power place of the WaldbadPromenade. This is where the four Alpine elements all come together. In summer, we use this powerful place to practise yoga and Qi Gong on the spacious sunbathing terrace and benefit in particular from the current connection to nature.
The forest is the place where the soul finds its roots and spreads its wings.
