ONLY IN GERMAN AND ITALIAN! (English on requst) Take care of your health by slowing down and reducing stress: relaxation exercises have been shown to increase physical and mental wellbeing. One way is the Jacobson relaxation technique, known as progressive muscle relaxation. The technique is an easy and quickly learned method that helps to relieve tension brought about by stress and overexertion. Untreated, under certain circumstances these tensions can result in back, muscle and head pains, stomach and bowel problems and a range of mental stress symptoms such as sleep and anxiety disorders, depression and even burnout. The Jacobson Method helps us learn to prevent such problems and better deal with damage that has already been done. Relaxation exercises have other benefits too: the body secretes fewer stress hormones, breathing becomes more even, the blood pressure falls and the heart beats more steadily. And the psyche benefits too: physical tensions are reduced and the body regains its natural equilibrium, thus increasing mental wellbeing. Stresses and strains brought about by anxiety, worries and pain diminish.

Climatic therapy is the application of natural weather and climatic factors for therapeutic purposes. Part of a successful hike is a lovely landscape where participants can feel completely safe and enjoy the appeal of constant new discoveries - both external and internal. A night-time hike places particular demands on not only our imagination, but also our senses. Our sense of smell and hearing react more keenly to the darkness. In addition, it is also easier to walk at night. We cannot tell in advance if we have reached our destination, and the rhythm of our steps helps give our thoughts free rein. This night-time variant of the climatic therapy hike leads through the darkness in the natural surroundings up to Partschins Waterfall. Thunderous noise and the finest spray herald the waterfall, which is revealed as an impressive natural spectacle after a good hour’s walk ascending 430 metres. A boon to lungs afflicted by life in the city, soothing for the soul and spirit. Measured exercise combined with targeted climatic exposure and expertly guided endurance and thermoregulation training lead to relaxation and recuperation, as well as increased resistance and a stronger immune system. The special microclimate around Partschins Waterfall, the pure air quality, which was ascertained in a scientific study conducted by the Technical University of Munich, and the unique mix of stimuli and protective factors offer the perfect conditions for climatic therapy treatments.
