"Waldbaden" translates to "forest bathing" in English. It refers to the practice of spending time in nature, particularly in forests, to promote physical and mental well-being.

Forest bathing is a mindful nature experience in the woods, where you can find tranquility through breathing, movement, and perception exercises. This guided break strengthens both body and mind, promotes relaxation, and allows you to experience the forest with all your senses. Forest bathing, or SHIRIN YOKU, as the Japanese call it, may sound like a new trend to many, but it is much more than that! Forest bathing has been proven to sustainably enhance our health. Spending an extended time in the forest strengthens the body, mind, and soul, leading to a lasting beneficial effect. It has been scientifically shown, for example, that the forest absorbs noise, green has a calming effect in medical color therapy, the tree canopies provide a pleasant coolness and good humidity through their leaf cover and evaporation, and that wind and light intensity are lower in the forest. During forest bathing, relaxation and mindfulness exercises are conducted under expert guidance, and activities such as moving, consciously embracing silence, and inhaling the healing substances of the trees also contribute to an increase in well-being. From April to October, forest bathing is offered once a month under professional guidance: immerse yourself in the healing atmosphere of the forest with forest healer Regina Huwald. During your time in the forest, relaxation and mindfulness exercises will be conducted.
