Feel the power of nature

What is it? Technically speaking, “wellness” comes from a combination of “well-being” and fitness”. It expresses comfort and good physical condition—something that can be achieved on a natural wellness retreat in Austria at Schloss Mittersill.

Bottom line: Wellness is so much more than just pool, sauna, and relaxation room—the best wellness area is nature; the health we get from nature every day for free.

High moors get their water from precipitation, are contained to small areas, and are usually found at remote places in the mountains. These exposed locations make them ideal for hikes, walks, and as energy places. They also help keep nature balanced.

You have two options. You can either walk from the castle to the high moor (approx. 1.5 hours) or you can drive to the intermediary station of the Panoramabahn cable car and start your nature timeout from there. There are various tour options in the high moor itself, ranging from brief walks to extended hikes.

Tip: Forest bathing
“Forest bathing” refers to a mindful forest visit that focuses on taking in the forest atmosphere and close contact to nature. Forest bathing is supposed to help the body slow down, find new energy, and replenish strength.

The Hohe Tauern National Park vacation region is the largest protected area in Central Europe. It opens up an incomparable scenery full of pristine forests, streams, and lakes to its guests. These contribute to relaxation and holistically ensure that body, mind, and soul recharge, whether you’re active in the mountains or enjoying a relaxed exploration of the tributary valleys. The healthy mountain air, purposeful exercise, and lots of activity in the fresh air makes a spa vacation in the Hohe Tauern National Park region a cure for mind, body, and soul. (Forest bathing is also very popular in the national park.)

People suffering from allergies and asthma breathe a sigh of relief in the natural park village of Krimml, home of the Krimml Waterfalls, Europe’s largest waterfalls.
