Refreshing forest wellness in Saalbach Hinterglemm
Hiking and relaxing in the forest
Hiking is a wonderful way to clear your head, to relax, and to get in tune with nature. Wellness in the forest is considered the latest trend if you want to escape from every life and find your inner balance. At the Forest Wellness area in Saalbach Hinterglemm on the Reiterkogel, everything revolves around the health aspects of the forest. Here you automatically shift down a gear or two and experience real time-out – a hit for all ages.
Healthy forest air at the Reiterkogel
What is it that makes forest wellness in Saalbach Hinterglemm so important and so healthy? Spending time in the forest increases the number of the body‘s own killer cells (they recognise and destroy altered, potentially harmful to dangerous cells) – by up to 40% in one day and proveably for seven days; in two days the value even doubles. Just two hours in the forest significantly improves the body’s defences. In addition, the forest converts the CO2 in the air we breathe into pure oxygen, which actually makes forest air healthier. It helps against various diseases by strengthening other immune cells, and has a positive effect on sleep disorders, depression and cardiovascular disease. Stress hormones reduce their production almost automatically, the ability to concentrate increases. The forest is a real jack-of-all-trades, and this applies doubly and triply at Waldwellness am Reiterkogel.
Experience wellness in the forest
About 1000 spruces grow in this more than 200-year-old forest at 1700 metres above sea level. From the mountain station of the D1 Reiterkogel cable car, you go via the herb garden and Reiteralm directly to the start. The actual forest wellness circuit only takes 20 minutes, but it invites you to linger and enjoy at the various stations. These include:
Furthermore, the trail can be extended at will. A short excursion to the viewing platform with further panorama-loungers or, if you feel fit and strengthened, a proper hiking tour to the Reiterkogel summit skilfully complement the forest experience.
Forest wellness in Saalbach Hinterglemm sharpens the senses, strengthens the immune system and gives a feeling of complete well-being – a very special hiking experience, a real rarity. The relaxation enjoyment continues seamlessly at the Thurnerhof with its wellness area, culinary delights and particularly inviting rooms. Please request a non-obligatory holiday offer today!
