    The breathing path sensually makes external and internal living spaces perceivable. The combination of nature, peace, movement, and breathing creates an energy-giving symbiosis.

    The path can be walked individually, alone, or in groups. There is also the possibility to sustainably experience the breathing path with the support of professionals for team building, events, etc.

    There are two marked routes on site, a slightly longer "Red Route" (6.8 km) and a slightly shorter "Blue Route" (4.2 km).
