    More and more often, doctors discover the positive effect of walking barefoot on the human body and its health. Quite apart from improving blood circulation in the legs and veins, a lap around the barefoot park also acts like a massage for the soul. Body and mind find harmony, relaxation and joy of life!

    On three different routes with a total of 30 stations you can feel nature under your feet at the barefoot park in Wenigzell. A wide variety of surfaces, such as basalt chippings, river pebbles or clinker stones, but also a very special spider web, an ABC forest or a wobbly beam await you!

    Author’s recommendation

    Businesses in the village spoil you with delicacies: Giant buns from the Buchtelbar, Jogllandtorte at Prettenhofer and Holzofenbratl at the Bratlalm!

    A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )

    Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active during this time.

    Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any rubbish in the forest.

    Camping and lighting fires are strictly forbidden in the forest!

    In principle, every person is allowed to pick 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.

    Best NO SHOES!
