Stroll along the paths through nature and be mindful. Pause at beautiful places, listen, marvel and consciously perceive the wind and the scent. Switch off from everyday life, let the soothing forest atmosphere take effect and arrive in the here and now. The healthy forest atmosphere contributes to relaxation, reduces stress hormones, strengthens the immune system and regulates blood pressure. Conscious time spent in the forest has a decelerating and health-promoting effect on body, mind and soul, as has already been proven in many studies. Through mindful listening, smelling, feeling, seeing and tasting, the often hectic everyday life is left behind and new strength and joie de vivre can be drawn. Breathing, meditation and sensory exercises are part of the forest bath, as is solo time (self-experience), e.g. in a hammock between two trees, admiring the canopy of leaves and letting your mind wander. A shared forest picnic with a tea break, fruit and biscuits, crackers and dip rounds off the soothing nature experience. You are welcome to bring your own drinks and something to eat. Everyone - regardless of age - is welcome. Weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes are recommended. The route is approx. 3.5 kilometres long. The time spent in the forest is approximately 4 hours. The participation fee is 38 euros for adults. The meeting point will be announced upon registration.

Forest bathing is led by Gabriele Arzdorf. She trained in forest bathing at the German Academy for Forest Bathing and Health. She also works independently as a nature therapist and mindfulness hiking guide. Prior registration is urgently required! You can register at the Bad Breisig Tourist Information Centre (02633 45630 / tourist-info@bad-breisig.de). They will also be happy to answer any further questions about the event.
