Health tip: Water treading done properly

Kneipp therapy is good for circulation and the cardiovascular system and strengthens the immune system. Important for these desired effects is the stork walk, with which you step through the cold water. One leg always leaves the water completely, the tip of the foot is tilted downward and dips back in with the next step. Do not overdo the Kneipp treatment – half a minute is completely sufficient. After the Kneipp session, refrain from drying off to achieve the full effect.

Safety information

Valuable tips for safety on hiking trails can be found in the section "Kurz&Knapp"

Tips and suggestions

Sturdy footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, sun and rain protection, as well as ample supplies of food and drinks, are recommended if no rest or shopping facilities are available or open. Although the path is very well marked all along, you should always carry a suitable hiking map for safety reasons.

Roadbook

Eastern spa park entrance between thermal baths and the Haus des Gastes. There you will find the 5 Kneipp health stations with brief information. From here, we follow the signs towards the herb garden and further to the Kneipp water treading area in the spa park. Then physical activity is called for, as the next health station "Exercise" is on the meadow in front of the hotel "Pfälzer Wald". Before climbing up the Martin path, we warm up in the Jakobsgärtel with stretching exercises. (Alternative route: on Liebfrauenbergstraße up to the quarry, then right on the Martin path) On the Martin path and the Altenberg way we test and improve our fitness at the jump and balance beam and at the horizontal bars. Then we can cool down before reaching the nutrition station on the Liebfrauenberg way, an orchard meadow with fruit trees and berry bushes. Back to the city center, passing the Hitziher winery, via Daniel-Pistor, Herzog Wolfgang, and Königstraße to one of the two churches, the Marktkirche or the Martinskirche, to the next Kneipp station. This is dedicated to "Healthy lifestyle" through inner contemplation and reflection. The Kneipp educational trail ends at the thermal baths.
