The cool night air and gentle movement strengthen the immune system, while the pure mountain air, whose high quality has been confirmed by studies from the Technical University of Munich, is particularly beneficial for the respiratory tract. The soothing sound of the waterfall and the nocturnal atmosphere promote mental recovery and stress reduction.
The moderate ascent gently supports heart and circulation. Moreover, the combination of movement and fresh air can positively influence metabolism and help alleviate metabolic disorders. Last but not least, nighttime activity in nature can improve mood and regulate the sleep-wake rhythm, which can be particularly helpful for seasonal depression. A boon for the lungs, balm for soul and senses.
