In Japan, doctors have been prescribing forest therapy to their patients for some time. For a long time now, they have been implementing a realization that is also slowly arriving in this country: that although the forest cannot perform miracles, conscious walking through the forest is something wonderful for one's health. The forest therapy has its origin in Shinrin Yoku, the so-called "forest bathing". The Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries coined the term in 1982, meaning the immersion in the silence and untouched nature of a forest. No matter how you spend your time in the forest, the stay reduces stress, improves mood and relieves the respiratory tract. But what is the difference between "forest bathing" and a normal walk in the forest? Above all, it is about deceleration, getting down from everyday stress through special exercises and instructions for sensory perception and attentiveness. This promotes relaxation, physical well-being and emotional balance. Trained forest bathing instructors will accompany you through the forest and show you what "forest bathing" is all about.
