A walk for all the senses – and a soothing break for the soul: the sensory walk for winter refreshment invites you to consciously perceive nature and leave everyday life behind for a while. Along a short route, small mindfulness and perception exercises open your eyes to what often seems quiet and delicate outdoors in winter: sounds, scents, the cold on your skin, colors, shapes, and your own inner calm. The event combines gentle movement with conscious experience and creates space for slowing down, clarity, and renewed energy. It concludes with a guided meditation at a quiet spot in the middle of nature, accompanied by a warm cup of tea. There, the fresh winter air can linger while body and thoughts come to rest. A small but intense nature experience for adults seeking mindfulness, relaxation, and a sense of connection with nature – suitable for individual visitors as well as groups, and, with appropriate clothing, enjoyable in any weather.
