Erstbegehung Shinrinyoku Pfad®

What is Shinrinyoku?
The term Shinrinyoku comes from Japanese and translates to
“forest bathing.” It involves consciously experiencing the forest with all your
senses and absorbing its calming atmosphere
into yourself. What may initially sound like a modern wellness trend has
long been a recognized and scientifically researched method in Japan
for promoting health and well-being. Forest bathing helps
reduce stress, recharge your energy, and bring your body and mind
into harmony.

Switzerland’s First Shinrinyoku Trail®
The new Shinrinyoku Trail® is designed to encourage people to leave their daily lives behind
and discover the forest in a very special way.
Along the trail, various resting spots invite you to
consciously experience nature through hearing, seeing, feeling, and breathing. Step
by step, a new, mindful connection to the forest and
to yourself unfolds.

Program for the Inaugural Walk
Participants will meet at 6:00 p.m. at the fire pit at Alpe
Äbnet. Ms. Lorek and Ms. Essig from the Swiss Forest Bathing Institute will
guide guests mindfully
along the Shinrinyoku Trail® with their expertise and passion, offering fascinating insights into the
effects of forest bathing. The group walk ends at the Kneipp
facility by the lake, where a healthy aperitif awaits
the participants in a relaxed atmosphere.
