A unique experiential trail awaits you along the two hiking routes, the “Wasserweg” and the “Engelweg.” Rather than focusing on physical exertion, these trails emphasize the mindful experience of nature, slowing down, and self-awareness.

The two trails lead past a total of eight power spots, selected according to the teachings of geomancy. These special places invite you to pause, find peace, and recharge your energy

The focus is on consciously perceiving nature in its many forms and its effects. Thematic information boards at each station offer suggestions for mindful observation, pausing, and slowing down.

Immerse yourself in a unique hiking experience where the focus is not on athletic performance, but on the mindful experience of nature and the surrounding environment.

Author’s recommendation

Take your time exploring the eight places of power and let nature work its magic on you. The informational signs invite you to pause, find peace, and fully immerse yourself in the hike.
