Selected alternatives for you

    Glide up with the Steinberg or Asitz cable car to 1,762 m and already enjoy the incomparable mountain panorama. 14 stations that blend with the forest invite you to linger, meditate, and relax along the 8.2 km long hiking trail. Viewpoints, resting stations, natural swings, a yoga area, a treetop bed, and even a waterfall help you regain new energy. After 1,000 meters of descent and about 3.5 hours, you will arrive physically and mentally strengthened for the time ahead at the Steinbergbahn valley station. Recommended for persons aged 12 and up. Opening hours: as long as the weather permits (stations are taken down in late autumn).

    Forest bathing or Shinrin Yoku is a nature-related method originating from Japan that developed in the 1980s. The aim is to relax in and with nature, decelerate, and temporarily disconnect from daily stress. Through exercises, you literally immerse yourself in the forest atmosphere. During forest bathing, you focus entirely on the senses; it’s about seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and tasting the forest.

    14 stations that blend with the forest invite you to linger, meditate, and relax along the 8.2 km long hiking trail.
