More than just H2O

Water is a vital element

Everything flows - and water invigorates the body in every form.
Just looking at water has a calming effect and it represents relaxation for body and soul like no other element. It constitutes a key element in the Kneipp therapyand the targeted stimulation ensures improved blood supply, increases metabolic activity and strengthens the immune system.

Yet, there is also a positive effect on the vegetative nervous system - The feeling of well-being after a round of swimming or a visit to the sauna makes us forget stress. Besides, we also feel lighter in the water and being in the water relieve the pressure on our backs and joints.

The Hopfensee Lake beckons in summer. Our indoor swimming pool is open all year round. So, don’t forget to pack your swimming gear so that you can enjoy the water’s pleasures.
