Breath means life, life means breathing. A truism? Not at all! You can experience the breath as a source of strength and energy in a playful way on an interesting circular hiking trail in the forests between Safenwil, Uerkheim, Zofingen, and Oftringen. The official start is at the shooting range. However, the circular hike can be started or ended anywhere. With very nice picnic spots! At the last station 10, there is the possibility to grill. On the large route, about seven kilometers long, ten stations with experiments invite you to conscious breathing. Barefoot, you can explore a specially prepared terrain, feel your breathing frequency during a short ascent and find your own rhythm, or observe your own breath while balancing. The simple tasks are briefly explained on boards, and the path is well signed. Those who don't want to walk so far can choose a shorter route or approach individual points intentionally.
