The WALDNESS.Program
Wald-Wyda at wildly romantic forest places
Wyda, the Celtic yoga, brings energy, flexibility, and inner centeredness. The simple exercises calm the mind, train perception and concentration, release blockages, harmonize the flow of energy, and intensify forest bathing.
Forest pine bath
Set in a magnificent mountain landscape, a guided hike through the forest and across alpine meadows leads to wildly romantic spots on the Kasbergalm, Irreralm, and at the Almsee. There, you'll rest—equipped with a LayBag—surrounded by the soothing scent of mountain pines.
Forest Kneipp in the fairytale forest.
In the midst of a beautiful forest and water landscape, you will learn about and appreciate the 5 pillars of Kneipp.
Experience forest bathing and the forest school.
You'll gain insight into the fine art of forest management and the many positive effects forests have on us humans. An intense and sensual time in nature!
forestarium
Idyllic places to relax and enjoy nature are available at any time along selected forest bathing routes.
Natural sauna
A sauna session strengthens inner harmony and promotes regeneration. From the forest sauna at the Hochberghaus, guests can step directly into the forest in both summer and winter. Relaxation areas are also available indoors. Included in the room rate for Hochberghaus guests.

Relaxing forest rest areas
Around the Hochberghaus and scattered throughout the Kasberg there are many small rest and relaxation areas, perfect for picnics and relaxing hours in the mountains of the Altmtal.
As part of the WALDNESS adventure program, we also organize mountain tours on request that take you up close to nature.

In-house forest sauna
After a long day, there's nothing more relaxing than a pleasant evening in the sauna. A good sauna session is part of every WALDNESS experience.
The sauna is available to guests daily until 9:00 PM. Please let us know at least one hour in advance so we can prepare the sauna for you.

Breathtaking wildlife
As a WALDNESS participant, you also have the opportunity to visit the Cumberland Wildlife Park free of charge at any time during your stay with us.
