So, are you just out for a walk … or are you soaking up the atmosphere (in the woods)?
Ever since the Corona lock-down weeks, if not before, many have discovered our forests as places of recreation. The so-called “forest bathing” is considered a stress management method that helps to strengthen the immune system, lower adrenaline levels and relieve the cardiovascular system. In addition, there are the beneficial effects of exercising outdoors in the fresh air. Anyone who regularly walks through the forest in a mindful way, covering a distance of at least three kilometres and walking for an hour, paying attention to colours, light and details and consciously listening to the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves, will be doing themselves a great service. We scoured the forests around Klagenfurt for the best “bathing” spots.
